there is a _port_ of csound to Be, but it is just that, a port. AFAIK it isnt multithreaded or changed to take advantage of Be system architecture. doing so would/will take a lot of work. available at http://www.be.com/beware/Audio/Csound.html opinions on csound: there is this curve of capability versus complication, where they mutually increase one another. csound is the ugliest most amazing sound software you can use. (imo). i love it. -- ------------------------------ jti@io.com http://www.io.com/~jti/ http://www.sonictherapy.com/fluoroscopic/fk.html ------------------------------------------------ --
