Description
Csound is an open source user-programmable software sound synthesizer of great power, originally created by Barry Vercoe at MIT in 1984. Users write instrument definitions in Csound's orchestra language to render notes written in Csound's score language, played on a MIDI controller, or generated within the orchestra or by some other programming language.
Csound contains a full complement of digital oscillators, samplers, filters, envelope generators, random number generators, physical models, sound granulators, phase vocoders, and other unit generators contributed for over 30 years by a community of musicians, programmers, and researchers from around the world.
This Android version of Csound provides a user interface with predefined sliders, buttons, and trackpad for real time control of instruments, or the user can write a custom user interface in HTML and JavaScript. The app integrates with text editors so that the app itself can be used to develop Csound pieces.
Csound pieces for the app can embed LuaJIT or JavaScript code for algorithmically generating scores.
The app was originally written by Victor Lazzarini and Steven Yi, and has been extended and is currently maintained by Michael Gogins.
This release runs only on Android 5.0 or later.
Recent changes: This release includes a WebAssembly build of the CsoundAC library for algorithmic composition, including chord spaces. CsoundAC is accessible using JavaScript in HTML pieces.

PROBLEM w/ 6.12.0: CSDs from folders do not load when selected from Open tab. However, CSDs from Examples tab do load. On Android 6.0.1
★★★★★
Sound is really an outstanding sound synthesis and designing app, but keeps me from giving 5 star is the buggy inbuilt code editor - you can not code a .CSD file with it. Please fix it in the next update.
★★★★★
Finally! Sound file output now works, yay! I often use Sound to create
textures which I output and use in other programs like Caustic since Sound
scores can be a little cumbersome depending on your intent. Anyway, thanks
for the fix, glad to see sound file output working again.

Why do you need this permission vital signs? And why was the previous review deleted? I'm reporting your app for bad email link of support and for asking for a permission that makes no sense
★★☆☆☆
Crashes frequently on many csd files that are supplied, including example files. Needs to be a lot more robust before it can be as useful as it's PC or Linux counterpart.
★★☆☆☆
I signed up for the trial for a month, and I've only been able to access it once! Now I find it in the store and asking me to install as if I never had it. These scoundrels BETTER NOT deduct a damn thing from my bank account. Oh yeah. I forgot to add that once it's installed, and you sign up for trial the name of it changes to something hard to remember! The one time I was able to use it I gad to go to mail to access it.
★★☆☆☆
Unusable for an experienced digital composer and data analyst. Cannot input code and does not at all operate as the user guide instructs. First example make new file: Asks if I want to "use" HTML viewer or word or PDF etc. then a blank uneditable page opens. I tried all options provided and NONE permit editing. Poor design, unusable app.
