It's for composing and performing live electronic music.  Of course there is 
existing software that allows you to do this (Max, Pd etc), but Integra Live 
aims to be an order of magnitude easier to use.

Currently in terms of DSP it can't do anything that can't be done in Pd since 
it uses Pd as a processing engine. However, it makes very easy many things that 
take a lot of time and knowledge in Pd. For example:

        - 'high level' modules (e.g. reverb, granular synthesiser) out of the 
box
        - module controls (sliders, buttons, dials, x-y pads) generated 
automatically
        - integrated state saving
        - global time line with per-attribute control envelopes
        - scene-based cue system
        - infinite undo and redo

The next version will also have per control OSC addressing, for external 
control.

I can't give you a specific date for release, but I anticipate some time early 
2011. The aim is to get the OS X version stable first and then make the Linux 
and Windows releases.

best,

Jamie
