Csound를 배우는 유용한 웹사이트를 소개합니다. 더 쉽게 csound를 접근할 수 있도록 했다고 하니 공부하시는 분들은 방문해보시면 좋겠네요~

Hi all –

as a contribution to make Csound easier to learn, and to make it easier to share knowledge about Csound, we (= a couple of Csounders) have started a free online Csound Textbook. Thanks to Rory’s tip, we situated it on the FLOSS Manuals site. In our neighbourhood, we have manuals and textbooks about PD, Audacity, Ardour, or Gimp, Processing, VLC and others.

This is the address:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Csound/WebHome

Until now, we have more or less finished the following chapters/sections:
– BASICS
– QUICK START
– CSOUND LANGUAGE
– SOUND MODIFICATIONS (in parts)
– MIDI
– CSOUND IN PD
– CSOUND IN MAXMSP
– OPCODE GUIDE

So, though it is not finished, it may be useful right now. And:

If anyone wants to come in and help this project growing: please do!!! (And don’t believe if you see a chapter declared as “complete”: there is certainly something to do.) It is very simple: just register at the site, and then you can correct what you read, you can add something or you can start writing a chapter. I think everyone who wrote so far, experienced the way of collaborative working here as very productive and satisfying. Writing is a joint process, you can just start, even if your english is not good, because there will be anyone who will read and correct. This is the same for examples.

So both, feedback and contributions, is very much appreciated. If someone wants to add new chapters or sections, this is also possible. Perhaps in this case it would be good to cantact me or someone of the editor’s group (http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Csound/WritingConventions) to keep the outline in consensus.

I feel very happy about the progress we have so far, and learned a lot from the contributions (Andrés, Rory, Iain, Davis, François, …). Many thanks also to Richard Boulanger who supported this project and helped discussing the outline.

Best –
