#Csound 6 - C++ API Examples

Examples

SimpleCsdPlayback.cpp: Illustrates how to create an instance of the Csound class and start playback of a .csd

StringOrcScoPlayback.cpp: Shows how orchestras and scores can be passed as strings to an instance of Csound.

csPerfThreadExample.cpp: Provides a simple example of how the csPerfThread class can be used to launch Csound in a new thread

GenerativeScoreExample.cpp: Demonstrates how a score file can be generating using simple random processes.

SetChannelExample.cpp: Shows how SetChanel() can be used to pass information directly to an instance of Csound in realtime.

GetSpoutExample.cpp: GetSpin() and GetSpout() can be used to access Csound's IO buffers. This can be useful when using the Csound library purely as a processing engine. This example shows how easy it is to pass an audio signal directly to Csound for processing.

##Compilation instruction In order to compile thee examples you will need to link to the Csound6 library. The following command line can be used to build on Linux: g++ SimpleCsdPlayback.cpp -o example1 -I/usr/local/include/csound -lcsound64

In order to compile the examples on Ubuntu, csound.hpp is needed. It can be obtained with
sudo apt-get install libcsnd-dev

csound.hpp is then found in /usr/include/csound, so the compiler must be passed with the
-I/usr/include/csound option:
g++ -I/usr/include/csound SimpleCsdPlayback.cpp -oSimpleCsdPlayback

csPerfThreadExample.cpp, GenerativeScoreExample.cpp and SetChannelExample.cpp additionaly needs to be linked with libcsnd6, for example like so:
g++ -I/usr/include/csound/ csPerfThreadExample.cpp -lcsound64 -lcsnd6 -ocsPerfThreadExample
