apeCsound is a new apeSoft plugin and app that runs Csound 7 code live inside your DAW.
Write or load a .csd file in the built-in editor, press Apply, and the engine recompiles while the track keeps playing. No restarts, no external tools.
What you get
- An audio effect with MIDI input: process the track audio, or play Csound instruments from MIDI.
- 144 DAW parameters (Float, Int, Toggle, Menu) mapped to Csound channels, fully automatable.
- A code editor made for Csound: syntax highlighting, autocompletion, opcode help for the whole Reference Manual, and errors marked on the line.
- Graphs of function tables and signals, and a console with Csound’s messages.
- Built-in examples from the Cabbage and CsoundQt collections; their sliders, knobs and menus become parameters when the file is loaded.
- OSC support and multichannel tracks (up to 16 channels).
Designed for teaching, experimenting, sound design and electronic music.
