Thanks. One very nice thing about csound is how long it's been around,

which means there's no shortage of documentation. The csound reference

manual seems fairly extensive, and I remember from back when I gave

csound a try, about two years ago now, that there were several tutorials

lying about on the internet. This said, if you happen to have a link for

a quickstart, example-based tutorial to get me rolling, I would

certainly appreciate it.

Yeah, LADSPA is a really, really neat thing, as far as re-usable code

goes. The only thing LADSPA lacks right now is some kind of way to

categorise and document plugins. Well, there's RDF, but I haven't seen

many plugins with RDF documentation. 

Cheers,
