Pure Data with csound6~

Software
1

For those working with Pure Data on Zynthian, just wondering if anyone has tried the using the csound6~ object from inside Pure Data yet?

Asking because this is the main reason I decided to build a Zynthian, and I’m wondering how well the CsoundAPI via Pure Data would perform on the RasPi 3 B+ (csound via command line has always been less optimal for me, with alsa midi connection setup, buffer speculations, midi CC screening, etc.)

Hi @sebiiksbcs!

I’ve not tried this object, but it should work, although perhaps you have to install csound in your zynthian before.

Csound is already installed for some reason, but you might have to install pd-csound too

I was just checking if there’s anyone out there using it already, since I’m bummed out by running csound standalone via command line, the latency is just too bad

True, it’s installed. Some package is using it. I don’t remember exactly what package is …
An AFAIK, pd-csound is already installed too :wink:

Yes, on Rp4 I have used Pd-Csound and it works very nicely under Jack. There’s also a Haskell bridge to Csound that looks promising but I’ve done only the most rudimentary things with it. The reason for it is it makes Csound much more into the present …

But Pd-Cound works on Rpi4. Perhaps best of all is routing Pd through Jack will also take Csound with it

Ps … my main interest in Cound is just that there’s SO MUCH extent code for it just waiting to be plucked. In my tests, I was using the GENDY and FOF opcodes and getting great results (as far as testing goes)
