Csound is the music and audio signal processing language developed by MIT's Barry Vercoe. Csound will provide audio services for the OLPC computer.

Csound is both a programming language and a sound synthesis engine. It will be included on the OLPC to be used by applications or directly by the children.

Further information about Csound is on their website: http://csounds.com/ or see their instructions for playing Csound in Pippy [1].

Tutorials

See Csound tutorials for a wiki introduction to using Csound for music development.
