The COSMO Project

The COSMO Project The “Csound On Stage Music Operator” (COSMO) project aims to embed Csound 6.0 into a standalone musical device especially designed for live performance.

The COSMO (Csound On Stage Musical Operator) project is an open source project about making a DIY effect pedal using the small and inexpensive computer Raspberry PI running Linux with Csound. Csound is a powerful, multi-platform, real-time sound-processing environment that enables musicians to design their own instruments and audio-effects by writing a few lines of Csound code. The current design

propose a guitar pedal design with regular quarter jack-in and jack-outputs, 3 footswitches and 5 k**b potentiometers. Csound 6.0 (Csound Python API) is running on a Raspberry Pi micro-computer, equipped with an additional sound card for low latency audio input and audio output. An advantage of such a design is the straightforward inclusion of individual designed digital audio-effects (like granular frequency modulation) into a regular live-electronics setup and provide direct haptic control of Csound to the performing musician. Such a musical device may also enable non-programming instrumentalists to use Csound in their analog live-performance setups. Do-it-yourself (DIY) build instructions for the pedal-box and a SD-card image with all required software installed and preconfigured, will be provided on the related COSMO project wiki-page. In future work we aim to carry out workshops with musicians and music students to show them how to build such devices and how to design individual audio-effects with Csound. This may result in a Csound live-performer community, sharing sound modification Csound patches, developed for such stand alone musical devices.

Check out these awesome new touch sensors from the Bela team! Time for a new kind of COSMO - Capacitive On Stage: Music Operator (we'll still be using Csound though)!

Precise and easy-to-use touch sensors for crafting beautiful interactions.

Check out the blog post from the COSMO workshop at this years NIME conference! Learn how to use our effect library consisting of a bunch of readymade Csound effects (only one line of code per effect!)

Welcome to Introduction to effect processing with Csound and the cosmo-dsp library - a workshop at NIME 2019. In this workshop, participants will get a basic introduction to Csound and how they can use the cosmo-dsp library to quickly build simple and more complex effect processing patches. The modu...

Csound now runs on Bela! Actually it has for a while already, but we haven't talked too much about it until now. We've put together an introduction for how to use Csound and our cosmo-dsp library on the amazing Bela platform!

Also includes some of the recent projects Alex and Bernt have done with Bela and Csound like an embedded COSMO-saxophone!

The COSMO Project at NIME 2018!

Bernt Isak Wærstad is performing solo tonight with acoustic guitar and 2(!) COSMO's - one of them the very first COSMO built around the Bela platform

Oh yeah, we forgot to say, but Csound is now running on Bela! :D Big thanks to Victor Lazzarini for doing all the hard work getting this to run!

Alex and Bernt Isak was back at NIME, this year in Copenhagen, presenting and demoing the new COSMO Patcher tool. You can read more about how to use the COSMO Patcher in the Programming COSMO section and read the whole NIME 2017 paper here:
