A Synchronous Programming in Audio Processing: A Lookup Table Oscillator Case Study KARIM BARKATI and PIERRE JOUVELOT, CRI, Mathématiques et systèmes, MINES ParisTech, France The adequacy of a programming language to a given software project or application domain is often con- sidered a key factor of success in software development and engineering, even though little theoretical or practical information is readily available to help make an informed decision. In this paper, we address a particular version of this issue by comparing the adequacy of general-purpose synchronous programming languages to more domain-specific -

Interactive Csound Coding with Emacs
Interactive Csound coding with Emacs Hlöðver Sigurðsson Abstract. This paper will cover the features of the Emacs package csound-mode, a new major-mode for Csound coding. The package is in most part a typical emacs major mode where indentation rules, comple- tions, docstrings and syntax highlighting are provided. With an extra feature of a REPL1, that is based on running csound instance through the csound-api. Similar to csound-repl.vim[1] csound- mode strives to enable the Csound user a faster feedback loop by offering a REPL instance inside of the text editor. Making the gap between de- velopment and the final output reachable within a real-time interaction. 1 Introduction After reading the changelog of Emacs 25.1[2] I discovered a new Emacs feature of dynamic modules, enabling the possibility of Foreign Function Interface(FFI). Being insired by Gogins’s recent Common Lisp FFI for the CsoundAPI[3], I decided to use this new feature and develop an FFI for Csound. I made the dynamic module which ports the greater part of the C-lang’s csound-api and wrote some of Steven Yi’s csound-api examples for Elisp, which can be found on the Gihub page for CsoundAPI-emacsLisp[4]. This sparked my idea of creating a new REPL based Csound major mode for Emacs. As a composer using Csound, I feel the need to be close to that which I’m composing at any given moment. From previous Csound front-end tools I’ve used, the time between writing a Csound statement and hearing its output has been for me a too long process of mouseclicking and/or changing windows. -
Expanding the Power of Csound with Integrated Html and Javascript
Michael Gogins. Expanding the Power of Csound with Intergrated HTML and JavaScript EXPANDING THE POWER OF CSOUND WITH INTEGRATED HTML AND JAVA SCRIPT Michael Gogins [email protected] https://michaelgogins.tumblr.com http://michaelgogins.tumblr.com/ This paper presents recent developments integrating Csound [1] with HTML [2] and JavaScript [3, 4]. For those new to Csound, it is a “MUSIC N” style, user- programmable software sound synthesizer, one of the first yet still being extended, written mostly in the C language. No synthesizer is more powerful. Csound can now run in an interactive Web page, using all the capabilities of current Web browsers: custom widgets, 2- and 3-dimensional animated and interactive graphics canvases, video, data storage, WebSockets, Web Audio, mathematics typesetting, etc. See the whole list at HTML5 TEST [5]. Above all, the JavaScript programming language can be used to control Csound, extend its capabilities, generate scores, and more. JavaScript is the “glue” that binds together the components and capabilities of HTML5. JavaScript is a full-featured, dynamically typed language that supports functional programming and prototype-based object- oriented programming. In most browsers, the JavaScript virtual machine includes a just- in-time compiler that runs about 4 times slower than compiled C, very fast for a dynamic language. JavaScript has limitations. It is single-threaded, and in standard browsers, is not permitted to access the local file system outside the browser's sandbox. But most musical applications can use an embedded browser, which bypasses the sandbox and accesses the local file system. HTML Environments for Csound There are two approaches to integrating Csound with HTML and JavaScript. -

Implementing a Parametric EQ Plug-In in C++ Using the Multi-Platform VST Specification
2003:044 C EXTENDED ESSAY Implementing a parametric EQ plug-in in C++ using the multi-platform VST specification JONAS EKEROOT SCHOOL OF MUSIC Audio Technology Supervisor: Jan Berg 2003:044 • ISSN: 1402 – 1773 • ISRN: LTU - CUPP - - 03/44 - - SE Implementing a parametric EQ plug-in in C++ using the multi-platform VST specification Jonas Ekeroot Division of Sound Recording School of Music in Pite˚a Lule˚aUniversity of Technology April 23, 2003 Abstract As the processing power of desktop computer systems increase by every year, more and more real-time audio signal processing is per- formed on such systems. What used to be done in external effects units, e.g. adding reverb, can now be accomplished within the com- puter system using signal processing code modules – plug-ins. This thesis describes the development of a peak/notch parametric EQ VST plug-in. First a prototype was made in the graphical audio program- ming environment Max/MSP on MacOS, and then a C++ implemen- tation was made using the VST Software Development Kit. The C++ source code was compiled on both Windows and MacOS, resulting in versions of the plug-in that can be used in any VST host application on Windows and MacOS respectively. Writing a plug-in relieves the programmer of the burden to deal directly with audio interface details and graphical user interface specifics, since this is taken care of by the host application. It can thus be an interesting way to start developing audio DSP algorithms, since the host application also provides the op- portunity to listen to and measure the performance of the implemented plug-in algorithm. -
