CSound and Houdini-The CSound Score Generator
Interface tour

The CSound score generator has 3 inputs:
1) Channel data (up to 128 channels),
2) Instrument selection, allows the instrument number to be controlled for each note event
3) Event trigger, to signal when a note event has occurred.

Features:

• Up to 128 channels mapped to CSound score p-fields.
• Instrument selection input for mapping instruments numbers to incoming signal
• Event trigger input to allow score generation toggling or continuous
• External score file include option so allow inclusion of f-tables, global instruments, etc. to the score file.
• Echo the score to the console
