Modular Instruments Part II

The Csound Blog
Issue #10

In the previous blog, “Modular Instruments“, I presented an instrument design model that takes advantage of Csound’s modular nature by breaking the common instrument structure apart into three elements: Synth Engine, Memory and Interface. (SEMI)

In todays blog, I create a new synth named MonoSynth based on the original SEMI Simple synth by replacing the zak memory with a memory core based on the chn opcodes, extending functionality of the engine, introducing modulation parameters, and by incorporating a method that links instances of instruments into an audio chain from within the score.

  • Modular Design
  • chn
  • Memory
  • Signal Routing
