I don't know what BEOS is, but I use Csound for DOS & Csound for Windows.
Basicly, it is more like programming than using a physical synth because
you do everything by typing up text files. It can be very slow to get
anything done, but you get the more control over what you do & more
possibilities than you would with any other approach. I think it's the
best for doing things with inputted sound files. There is some really
unbelievable stuff you can do to your recordings, & certain common things
can be done with much higher accuracy & quality than with other methods,
but all of this takes much processing power. Some things I do take hours
to compile. These have been my brief thoughts on Csound.
