Csound Live Coding Example

In the src/score/demo folder is a file called csound_demo.clj that demonstrates using the score library with Csound via its Java API. It requires:

• Leinginen
• Csound

To run the example:

• Open a terminal and change directories to the root of this project
• Type lein repl to start a REPL
• Open src/score/demo/csound_demo.clj within a text editor that has support for using a REPL (i.e. vim with vim-fireplace)
• Evaluate the file (with vim-fireplace, the command is :Require!)
• Go to the (comment) section. There are three sections of code. The first will create an instance of Csound and start it using the orc code defined earlier in the file. The second code uses the score library to generate Csound SCO text, then sends it to the running Csound instance using .InputMessage on the CsoundPerformanceThread. The final code will turn off Csound.
