Examples of editing Max help files to build Csound M4L devices

fof

A formant based Midi synth using Csound FOF – from the Max help file for [csound~]

from “The Csound Book” by Dr. Richard Boulanger

download

https://github.com/tkzic/max-for-live-projects

folder: csound

device: csound-fof3-tz.amxd

instructions

drag csound-fof3-tz.amxd file into a midi track
arm the track for recording and play some midi notes

svfilter

Sample playback using a state variable filter using Csound SVFILTER – from the Max help file for [csound~]

from “The Csound Book” by Dr. Richard Boulanger

download

https://github.com/tkzic/max-for-live-projects

folder: csound

device: svfilter-tz.amxd

instructions

drag svfilter-tz.amxd file into a midi track
drag a file into the waveform display (or use the default file)
With the mouse, select a section of the waveform to start playback

general suggestions

for converting Max help files to M4L devices:

Replace UI objects with Live versions. For example, toggle becomes live.toggle
Replace audio inputs/outputs with plugin~/plugout~
Select UI objects for presentation mode
In inspector, change default Scripting names for UI objects to allow automation

Csound in Pure Data on Raspberry-Pi controlled by touchOsc

Its starting to seem like the R-Pi is turning out to be a real musical instrument.

Csound in Pure Data on Raspberry-Pi

Today I got Csound running inside Pure Data (using the [csoundapi~] object) on Raspberry-Pi.

These instructions assume you have already installed pd-extended on R-Pi. See this post to learn how. https://reactivemusic.net/?p=4930

Install Csound

# sudo apt-get install cloud

Install csoundapi~

# sudo apt-get install pd-csound

Copy csoundapi~ library into the pd-extended extras folder

# cd /usr/lib/pd/csound/extras
# sudo cp csoundapi~.pd_linux ../../pd-extended/extra

Here’s a test patch:

Here’s the Csound source file (should be in the same folder as the test patch)
