I thought csound was a pretty competent package for generating music with computers. A lot of these newer music packages seems keen to evolve independently than build upon the considerable amount of work done on csound for decades.
- stuntkite 7y agoMost of them still leverage csound in some if not many ways. Anyone serious about this stuff hasn’t left csound behind.
- billfruit 7y agoI haven't seen any mention of csound in this articles or in the couple other recent similar packages which popped up in HN.
- jarmitage 7y agoCsound is as healthy as it has arguably ever been, with an active conference, journal, Slack and new targets such as Web Audio and Bela.io. Many live coding environments use SuperCollider as the engine (Sonic Pi, Overtone, TidalCycles), which while not as old as Csound is over 20 years old so there’s plenty of building on existing systems going on. Departures from Csound and SuperCollider are also necessary for many artistic and technical reasons, and the live coding community welcomes the diversity of available systems and the increasing diversity of the systems creators themselves.
