Other Versions of Csound

  • CsoundAV
    CsoundAV is a version of Csound which allows 3D graphics (OpenGL) and animations besides normal real-time audio performance. It also allows to process several video streams (in AVI format) in realtime, assuming that your CPU and hard-disk are fast enough.
  • MacCsound
    If you are using a Mac running OS X - you want the newest MacCsound by Matt Ingalls, (Great Interface, GUI Tools, Great MIDI, Excellent Composer/Developer/Performer Environment).
  • WinSound
    Synchronized to canonical Csound version 4.08, this is a version of Winsound for 32-bit Windows and Linux under Wine. It is Barry Vercoe's historic frontend and comes bundled with a handy scanned synthesis matrix editor (matrix.tk) written in Tcl/Tk by John ffitch that is compatible with the cswish frontend that is a part of Csound5.

Frontends (Hosted at cSounds.com)

Check out the frontends page and the helpers and utilities page for many more tools.

  • Blue
    Written by and maintained by Steven Yi blue is a java program for use with Csound. It's interface is much like a digital multitrack, but differs in that there timelines within timelines (polyObjects). This allows for a compositional organization in time that seems to be very intuitive, informative, and flexible.
  • Cecilia
    Cecilia is one of the most comprehensive frontends available for Csound. Cecilia is presently maintained by Jean Piché and a version with Csound5 support is on it's way.
