Requirements Investigation for an Interface for Csound Yuhua Guo City University, London Northampton Square London EC1V 0HB cg212@city.ac.uk Abstract: Csound has been around for more than 20 years and is today's standard digital sound processing program which provides powerful functions for digital sound synthesis. Csound enables people to make music with just a personal computer. Developed originally as a command line driven program by Barry Vercoe, Csound, however, lacks the use interface capability that is needed for most of today's personal computers and this makes it difficult to use for many ordinary composers. The difficulty of using Csound lies in the manual creation of its score and orchestra files which involves the use of many parameters.

The interface will help composers to use Csound more easily. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION 3 2....
