Plus the abstracting to levels 'above' plug-ugens allows for different kinds of musical thinking. I love RTcmix's parse language (score language) because of the algorithmic-composition capabilities it opens up. It would be much more difficult if it also had to encompass lower-level DSP specification along with larger 'musical shape' abstractions. brad http://music.columbia.edu/~brad -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp
