I’m happy to announce the first ALPHA release of Csoundo, a Csound library for Processing. Processing is "an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions." With Csoundo, users can explore audio with visuals, export f-tables to custom high resolution SVG graphs, and create custom GUI interfaces to their synths. Video of Csoundo in action can be seen here.

Members of the Csound community have reported successfully running Csoundo on OS X, Windows and Linux. OS X requires version 5.12.4. Linux requires special handling, see this Csound mailing list thread for details.

Hi all,

Since I haven't got around to making proper documentation of some recent features in QuteCsound, I decided to do a couple of screencasts.

Hi all!

QuteCsound 0.6.0 is finally ready! QuteCsound has now come of age as it
recently celebrated two years since its first svn commit! This release
takes QuteCsound way beyond my original expectations thanks to the
encouragement, ideas and work from many users. This is another
milestone release, with the implementation of the new widget format,
which opens the door to new functionality and extensibility.

QuteCsound is a frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting
editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It
can open files created in MacCsound, and aims to be a simple yet
powerful and complete development environment for Csound.

QuteCsound has been tested on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris,
and it is free software released under the LGPLv2 or at your option
GPLv3.

There are binary packages for Windows and OS X, and a source package
for other platforms.
You can get it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/QuteCsound/0.6.0/

There's more information here (along with an overdue home page revamp):

On Wednesday May 5, 2010 a "Mini Symposium on the Work of Professor Barry Vercoe" was held at The MIT Media Lab. As a tribute to Barry Vercoe, a dozen of Dr.B's top Csound and DSP students @ Berklee did remixes of his famous piece for viola and computer: Synapse. Here are links to the remixes and to the contact information for each of the remix artists.
