CABBAGE/CSOUND INSTALLATION

1- Download and install CSound 6.15 from: https://github.com/csound/csound/releases/tag/6.15.0

2- Download all the content of this repository into the same folder

3- Install all the dependencies included in the requirements.txt file

4- To reproduce the sonifications:

• Launch Cabbage, open DVT_Explorer.csd, and press play

Important note: Cabbage 2.9.0 requires CamelCase update via: File/Convert Identifiers to camelCase. Also change manually “PluginID” to “PluginId” to avoid warnings.

• Run the Jupyter notebook (DVT_Explorer-TESS_sector1.ipynb)
• Add your path to the downloaded files before running all the cells

Enjoy the sonifications!
