I&#x27;m not sure about the utility of CSound on Android (I&#x27;ll have to try it out), but I&#x27;m happy it&#x27;s there, all the same (I&#x27;m of the NetBSD &quot;put it everywhere&quot; school).<p>CSound is the portable C (programming language) progeny of what&#x27;s called &quot;Music-N&quot;[0] synthesizers by Max Mathews[1] of Bell Labs c. 1957. I&#x27;d say it eschews a learning curve in favour of a learning wall, but that said, once you&#x27;re in, it&#x27;s <i>fascinating</i>. I&#x27;ve heard it described as an audio version of programming in assembly (I don&#x27;t disagree with this), which might sound off-putting, but you can&#x27;t help buy learn interesting things if you stick with it.<p>Trivia -- Max&#x2F;MSP audio software is named after Music-N creator Max Mathews, and Miller S. Puckette, the author of Max&#x2F;MSP[2] (and the logical free successor, Pure Data (Pd)[3].<p>Congratulations, CSound.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;MUSIC-N" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;MUSIC-N</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Max_Mathews" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Max_Mathews</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Max_%28software%29" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Max_%28software%29</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pure_Data" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pure_Data</a><p>edit: formatting, links
