The Csound Server is a system to ease networked use of Csound written by Greg Thompson. It is a C program which provides a network based interface for Csound. It listens to OSC messages to spawns and control instances of Csound.

You can find a precompiled version at the git repository:

http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/csoundserver;a=tree;f=Activities;hb=HEAD

within any of the activities folder.

Within each activity, there are also two useful files Csound.py and CsoundServer.py which provide simple python interfaces and a launcher for the Csound Server.

The file HelloCsoundActivity.py shows a simple usage of the Csound Server:
