CsoundQt is a frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It is a cross-platform and aims to be a simple yet powerful and complete development environment for Csound. Csound is a musical programming language with a very long history, with roots in the origins of computer music. CsoundQt hopes to bring the power of Csound to a larger group of people, by reducing Csound's intial learning curve, and by giving users more immediate control of their sound. It hopes to be both a simple tool for the beginner, as well as a powerful tool for experienced users.
CsoundQt has been used for composition and teaching at multiple institutions throughout the world.
Development was started in 2008 by Andres Cabrera, who was the lead developer until 2015. CsoundQt is still being actively maintained and enhanced by members of the Csound community.
