A package manager for csound
Project description
risset: a package manager for csound
This is the repository of risset, a package manager for csound external plugins and user-defined-opcodes. The index aggregating all available packages is kept at risset-data.
Installation
risset
depends only on git
and python3
(>= 3.9) being installed.
pip install risset
This will install the script "risset" into your path
Linux
In certain linux distributions (ubuntu) it is not allowed to install packages to the
system python. In that case the recommended way is to install risset within
its own virtual environment via pipx
:
sudo apt install pipx
pipx install risset

# mtro
## Abstract
an accurate version of metro
## Description
`mtro` is a drop-in replacement of `metro` without the
drifting over time. `metro` is implemented by adding a phase
each cycle, which results in drifting over time due to rounding errors.
`mtro` avoids this problem by keeping a counter and doing multiplication
so that the error is limited.
Following metro's implementation by default `mtro` is triggered at time=0. This
is because `i_initphase` is set to 1 by default. It is possible to make `mtro` skip the
0 trigger by setting `i_initphase` to 0.
## Syntax
kout mtro kfreq, i_initphase=1
## Arguments
* **kfreq**: the frequency of the trigger
* **i_initphase**: the initial phase (a value between 0 and 1). If set to 0, there is no trigger at time 0.
If set to 1, `mtro` triggers at time=0, similar to `metro`
## Output
* **kout**: 1 if the mtro has triggered, 0 otherwise
## Execution Time
* Performance
Risset commands
update
Update the local index to the latest state.
$ risset update
list
List all available plugins for your platform
$ risset list [options]
Options
--nameonly
: Output just the name of each plugin--installed
: List only installed plugins--upgradeable
: List only installed packages which can be upgraded--notinstalled
: List only plugins which are not installed-1, --oneline
: List each plugin in one line
show
Show information about a plugin
$ risset show <plugin>
install
Install one or multiple plugins
$ risset install [--force] <plugin> [<plugin2>, ...]
Install a given plugin for the current platform. Plugins are installed into
the user folder (no administrator requirements are needed). Look at the info
command to query information about the system.
Options
--force
: Installs a plugin even if the plugin with the same version is already installed
the system folder where all other builtin plugins are installed (this requires administrator rights in some platforms). Admin rights are needed for this.
remove

info
$ risset info [options]
Outputs information about the environment as json in order to be integrated by other systems. For example, CsoundQT uses this command to read the installed plugins and their opcodes and documentation

: Include all available information
Plugin Documentation
Documentation for all plugins can be found here: https://csound-plugins.github.io/risset-docs/
Upgrading risset
If installed via pip
, do:
pip install risset -U
If installed via git
, go to the repository and do:
git pull
python setup.py install
Contributing
In order to add/modify a plugin, clone risset-data
At the root of the repository there is an index file rissetindex.json
, with the form:
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"plugins": {
"else": {
"url": "https://github.com/csound-plugins/csound-plugins.git",
"path": "src/else"
},
"pathtools": {
"url": "https://github.com/csound-plugins/csound-plugins.git",
"path": "src/pathtools"
},
"klib": {
"url": "https://github.com/csound-plugins/csound-plugins.git",
"path": "src/klib"
},
"beosc": {
"url": "https://github.com/csound-plugins/csound-plugins.git",
"path": "src/beosc"
},
"vst3": {
"url": "https://github.com/csound-plugins/vst3-risset.git"
}
}
}
To add a plugin to the index, just extend the plugins dict. The url should point to a valid git repository, the path attribute can be used to indicate where risset.json manifest is within this repository. This allows to define multiple plugins within one repository.
Manifest
Each plugin has an accompanying manifest in the .json format. The name of this file
is always risset.json
See one of the examples in https://github.com/csound-plugins/csound-plugins/tree/master/src for
more information about the manifest
