Sound and Structure Generators
   Csound - www.csounds.com

"Even today, I am still running out of voices on my digital 'multi-timbral' synthesizers, running out of effects on my digital 'multi-verb' signal processors and running out of tracks on my digital 'multi-track' recorder. But, in the software synthesis world of Csound, there are no such limitations. In fact, the only limitations are the size of your hard disk, the amount of RAM in your PC and the speed of your CPU - and of course, the limits of your imagination."

   Common Lisp Music - ccrma-www.stanford.edu/software/clm

"Common Lisp Music is a music synthesis and signal processing package in the Music V family.

CLM has several sections: the "generators", instruments (definstrument and *.ins), examples of note lists (with-sound, *.clm), a "make" facility for sound files (with-mix), various functions that are useful in sound file work (sound-let, mix), and a connection to the Snd sound editor. CLM runs on the Macintosh (MacOS or LinuxPPC), SGI, Sun, Alpha, Windoze, and any machine running Linux. It is available free, via anonymous ftp (pub/Lisp/clm-2.tar.gz at ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu; the Snd editor is snd-6.tar.gz)."

Bill Schottstaedt: Introduction
   Common Music - commonmusic.sourceforge.net/doc

"Common Music views music composition as an activity with three broad areas of concentration. At one level, a composer is concerned with the development of musical ideas expressed as structural relationships between sounds. At another level, the composer is concerned not only with ideas, but how they are to be realized, or rendered to produce sound. Although musical ideas and sound realization are linked conceptually there are several advantages to modularizing these activities in software design. The primary benefit is that the same high-level model may participate in different renderings and this ability increases the utility of the system overall. Once a sound is rendered it is typically previewed so there is an aspect of performance in composition as well. Performance information can affects the compositional process either implicitly, by causing the composer to make changes and formulate new ideas, or explicitly if the composer captures performance information in order to produce real-time control over concurrent compositional processes."
