Since we have Alex4, which is totally cool and addictive, I thought

side, it would be extremely cool to have CSound on the Ben, an audio
programming language.
AFAIR CSound uses floating point math throughout, so that won't run
at a
very usable performance on the Ben.
There are some text-based MIDI file generators, that may work better
(Werner suggested one, some time ago) With liballegro we already have
a
working software-synth midi synthesizer that works well on the Ben
(the
allegro-demo uses that one). Somewhere under /usr/bin/allegro (?)
there
should also hide the 'exmidi' command-line example midi player that
comes with liballegro.

AFAIK CSOUND is a compiled language, so you write code, then compile it
and then hear it. Even if we have to emulate FPU, it does not have to
run in real-time so it may work, even if it is slow. I think the later
versions are better, but maybe if it took this we could even try an
older version with perhaps less requirements. I remember reading
somewhere (hold on, I'll find it... here are the system requirements for
an old 2004 version on Mac from the site
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=261866&group_id=81968
:
System Requirements
Any Power Macintosh computer
(Email the maintainer if you need 68K Mac support).
System 7.1 through 9.2.2 (not recommended for Mac OS X)
A minimum of 1600K free memory (10-32MB recommended)
2MB of disk space for Csound
Audio input port for real-time audio in
Of course I know the Ben is different, but if you yourself pulled of
Allegro Sprite Editor, I'm sure you would know how to get this going. If
not, that's cool too though. I'll look into that MIDI thing. Thanks
