Hi Philipp,
Hi Eduardo,
sorry for a very noobie question - but i tried to find infos about this, but i still have questions.
In context of csound, what are plugins there?
Much of the functionality of csound is implemented as plugins. For example all the audio backends are actually plugins, and many opcodes are also plugins. For example, in linux these are the builtin plugins distributed with csound 6:
$ ll -1 /usr/local/lib/csound/plugins64-6.0
libampmidid.so
libarrayops.so
libbformdec2.so
libcontrol.so
libdeprecated.so
libdoppler.so
libdssi4cs.so
libfractalnoise.so
libftsamplebank.so
libipmidi.so
libjoystick.so
liblfsr.so
libmixer.so
libosc.so
libpadsynth.so
libpmidi.so
libpvsops.so
librtalsa.so
librtjack.so
librtpa.so
librtpulse.so
libscansyn.so
libsignalflowgraph.so
libstdutil.so
libtrigenvsegs.so
liburandom.so
External plugins are exactly the same as these. They are loaded by csound at startup and they provide a list of opcodes which work just like any other regular opcode. Many opcodes which were previously in the csound main distribution were moved as external plugins the python opcodes, for example, or the hdf5 opcodes. The current list of plugins is:
$ risset --update list
* else /1.15.0 | Miscellaneous plugins [installed: 1.15.0]
> Path: /home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libelse.so
- pathtools /1.15.0 | Cross-platform path handling and string opcodes
* klib /1.15.0 | A hashtable for csound [installed: 1.15.0]
> Path: /home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libklib.so
* beosc /1.15.0 | Band-enhanced oscillators implementing the sine+noise synthesis model [installed: 1.15.0]
> Path: /home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libbeosc.so
- jsfx /1.15.0 | jsfx support for csound
* poly /1.15.0 | Multiple parallel or sequential instances of an opcode [installed: 1.15.0]
> Path: /home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libpoly.so
- sndmeta /1.15.0 | opcodes using libsndfile
- risset /1.15.0 | Opcodes to access risset package metadata
- vst3 /0.3.0 | Host vst3 plugins in csound
- chua /0.1.0 | Implementation of a Chua oscillator
- hdf5 /0.1.0 | Read/Write signals and arrays to/from an hdf5 file
- python /0.1.0 | Opcodes to interact with an embedded python interpreter
All external opcodes are documented here: Csound Plugins
Look at GitHub - csound-plugins/risset: Csound Package Manager · GitHub for more information about installation and usage
Just more opcodes to use in csound? And how do i use them there?
All the best,
Philipp
Hi all,
Announcing a new major release of risset, a package manager for csound external plugins!
This release includes experimental support for csound7. Many of the plugins now have two different builds and risset will do its best to detect the environment and install the correct plugins at the correct path. There are also CI tests for all major platforms ensuring that the plugins are working.
Plugins installed via risset are integrated into csoundqt. The opcodes are highlighted correctly, show in the autocomplete menu and their corresponding help files are displayed as if they were built-in opcodes.
