Free Csound/Cabbage Code

Csound code in the Cabbage framework

I am happy to make my Cabbage/Csound code available for anyone who is interested in using some of my idiosyncratic synthesizers and effects. To run this code you can download and install Cabbage (which installs Csound on your system) from https://cabbageaudio.com These include:

ShadowSynth—a psuedo-granular synthesizer driven by pitch data from an FFT analysis of live input audio

VFDN—a variable feedback delay network effect with 10 delays (5 stereo delays) that boast independent delay times and variable routing. The incoming audio can be fed into any delay and any delay can feed into any other delay or feed back into itself to create both traditional or quite unusual delay patterns. (lots of potential for infinite feedback, use with care!)

Whiplash—an effect that feeds an incoming audio stream into a buffer and provides MIDI controller driven reverse/playback with feedback delays on both the incoming and reversed audio. (lots of potential for infinite feedback, use with care!)

Arpeggiator—a 256-note arpeggiator with four independent voices (each voice with 3 oscillators) and random rest and duration controls (useful for minimalism)

Decalog—a 10-oscillator analog synth with FM/AM/RM and numerous effects

Granary—granular synthesis engine with soundfile and live granulation

MorFFT—streaming spectral processing demonstrating Csound’s pvs opcodes

Mverb and Mverb3D—reverbs built with waveguide meshes

ReSynthesizer—can play back analysis files generated using Csound’s analysis subroutines

Stringy—Physically-modeled instrument with three strings (each with timbrel control)

Wave Terrain Synth—a 5-dimension wave terrain instrument with morphing wave functions

Csound/Cabbage projects currently under development include:

  • Spectral Diffuser—software that spectrally pans a stereo file into an 8-channel space to create an immersive sonic environment
