All examples are tested on Csound 5.11 on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows XP.
If you have problems running any of the examples please check the following:
Some examples require the use of a sound file or analysis file in addition to the Csound .csd file. Download the required files and place them in your defined SSDIR, SADIR or present working directory.
Some examples include the option of using a MIDI input and include the -M flag within the CsOptions part of the .csd. If your computer has no MIDI device the file will not run. Either delete the -M flag and lose the MIDI functionality or use the virtual MIDI device by including the flags -M0 -+rtmidi=virtual.
If using QuteCsound, select the 'Run In Term'(inal) option.
If you are still not able to run examples please email me.
