Csound: A Sound and Music Computing System, Volume Ⅱ

Lazzarini, Victor; Yi, Steven; Heintz, Joachim; Walsh, Rory

This rigorous book is a follow-up volume containing the reference for new features and updates introduced to the Csound system in the last decade, written from the perspective of its main developers and power users. It provides an introductory tutorial that explains the system, including the basic modes of operation and its programming language; it explores the many ways users and developers can interact with the system for a variety of use cases; and it describes key applications within the context of music programming. This book complements the first volume by focusing on the applications of Csound within the wider ecosystem of music programming, including the discussion of its API, and application development for a variety of computing platforms.

The Csound system has been adopted by many educational institutions as part of their undergraduate and graduate teaching programs, and it is used by practitioners worldwide. Csound has also been used commercially in a diverse set of music software applications.

This book is suitable for students, lecturers, composers, sound designers, programmers, and researchers in the areas of sound and music computing, music software development, and audio signal processing.
