Plugin for Csound Language support in Visual Studio Code

csound-vscode-plugin

A Csound language plugin for Visual Studio Code.

Features

Program currently provides:

• Syntax Highlighting for Csound .orc and .udo files

• Play the file in the currently-active editor window by choosing Csound: Play Active Document from the command palette or using the alt+. shortcut. To kill a playing Csound subprocess, choose Csound: Terminate any running csound subprocess from the command palette or use the alt+escape shortcut while the focus is still in a Csound text editor window.

• Evaluate code at runtime (live coding) using Csound: Evaluate Orchestra Code or ctrl+enter (cmd+enter on macOS) for ORC code and Csound: Evaluate Score Code for SCO code.

Requirements

You must have Csound properly configured on your system so you can use it on the comand line.

Release Notes

0.5.0

• Can now play from ORC/SCO pair, associating to the file from the currently-active editor window a file contained in the same folder with the same name but opposite extension.

• Added CSD barebone as snippet, use the keyword barebone to insert the template code in your CSD file.

0.4.0

• Updated to vscode 1.60 extension format to work as a Desktop and Web extension. (Play commands currently disabled until WebAudio Csound can be integrated.)

0.3.1

• Updated opcode entries to 6.15.0 (synced to Nate Whetsell's Atom language-csound plugin)

0.3.0

• Added live-coding commands to evaluate ORC and SCO code by sending to Csound over UDP.

0.2.3

• Don't switch focus to output window when playing a CSD file. alt+escape only kills CSound subprocesses when focus is in a CSD text editor window (for better compatibility with other modules).
