CECILIA is a user environment for music and signal-processing using Csound as its underlying processing engine. The simplest analogy is to think of CECILIA as a completely programmable sound-processing module, with sound input(s) and sound output and as a full blown software synthesizer with configurable knobs.

CECILIA is a complete environment. You can do everything you now do with Csound in CECILIA more efficiently. CECILIA also offers a high-level language for complex score production. The CYBIL scoring extension allows the generation of complex scores through powerful descriptors.

CECILIA is a wrapper that aims to enhance productivity. It does not carry out sound processing duties. Csound does the actual work. All Csound command-line options are available in menu form, but may be presented in an unexpected form. For instance, krates are delt with only as a division of sr by ksmps.
