CSound and Cabbage: Where to start?

[Autobot]

Hi, I want to develop some vst plugins on my own (mainly percussion synths and granular stuff). For that I would like to dive into CSound as programming environment and Cabbage as a vst compiler (if I understand the nature of things correctly ). I would like to do stuff Puremagnetik is doing. Embedding a CSound patch into a full vst.

But I'm a bit overwhelmed by the information around. Maybe someone can point me to a good starting point?

BTW: I have Ableton Live Suite... Should I rather go with Max4Live? I hesitate because if I change my DAW (what is unlikely but who knows) the devices are gone.

Thanks to y'all. Stay healthy.

the guy doing stuff for Puremagnetik has some prototypes on their github, some info at CDM

Also, for CSound, best to start from here:

I started by studying already existing plugins from Cabbage examples and plugins developed by others. I joined Cabbage forum and I recommend it to do so. It has small but very positive community and Rory (Cabbage creator) is really helpful.

Also look into https://cabbageaudio.com/docs/file_stru ... nd_syntax/ for intro to Csound.

Just what I need to know. Thank you.
