No in my example in cakewalk it wasn't a real-time filter(sorry for my not 
well chosen examples). Here was the idea : everything you can do using the 
menus,  buttons, clicks, midi input events... (like add a note at such 
position, create a midi track with such a name...) you can describe it in 
the script, you have in addition, loop and conditional branching. In fact, 
if you want you could describe you entire song by a script (I believe that 
it was even possible by using a recording function that writes into the 
script every single thing the user does).

For each single thing the user can do by using menus, buttons, keyboard... a 
function that corresponds to it is added (apart from the functions related 
to the configuration of RG or so).

I don't have more details about than what Stan Novogroudski gave in this 
first email. Hope to know more about that in his next emails.
