![]() ![]() ![]() Csound 5 packages for the Legacy Mac OS are available below since they have been removed from the Csound Sourceforge project. The last version available for Mac OS 7-9 is Csound 5.08 and no new versions are expected at this time. Csound continues to be developed by an international team of programmers, researchers, and teachers using an open-source development model hosted at /csound.īecause of diminishing interest in using Csound with the Classic Mac OS, both my own and others, development and maintainence of new versions of Csound for the Legacy Mac platform have stopped.Ĭsound 5.00 was released in February of 2006 and several updates have been released since then. Since 2003, public Csound has been free software released under the terms of the GNU LGPL 2.1 license. Csound includes the contributions of countless other individuals. ![]() Csound 5 was developed by a collaborative team from around the world including John ffitch, Istvan Varga, Michael Gogins, Victor Lazzarini, Steven Yi, Andres Cabrera, John Ramsdell, and myself. Most recently, I ported and supported Csound 5 for Mac OS 7-9 and developed the Mac OS front end CsoundFront which is heavily based on the Mills Csound codebase. In 2004, I released Mills Csound 4.23f12, the result of a year-and-a-half of maintenance and updates. For a time, Mills Csound was updated and supported by John ffitch of Bath University. They were working from a version of MIT Csound for 68k Macs created by Bill Gardner and Dan Ellis with assistance from Richard Boulanger. Mills Csound is a Power Macintosh version that was created at Mills College by Matt Ingalls, Mike Berry, and Dave Madole. History and CreditsĬsound was originally written by Barry Vercoe of the MIT Media Lab. If you are looking for Csound for Mac OS X, I strongly encourage you to install one of the official Mac OS X packages of Csound 5 or 6 available from the official project website. The versions of Csound described here run on PowerPC-based Macintosh computers with System 7.5, OS 7.6, OS 8, or OS 9. Below is information about various Mac versions of Csound 4 and Csound 5 plus several other related applications and utilities. From 2003 to 2008, I maintained the Csound “port” for Mac OS 9 and earlier (the “Legacy Mac OS” or “Classic Mac OS”) which used to be called “Mills Csound”. Csound is a highly flexible and portable music synthesis software environment that runs on Linux, Unix, Macintosh, and Windows computers. ![]()
