SuperCollider - real time synthesis and signal processing software for the macintosh. it's an object oriented language and virtual machine (version 3 will have two virtual machines) written by james mccartney. if you HATE programming, you probably wouldn't like SC. if you like to be challenged but don't want to be 'restricted' you would probably enjoy SuperCollider. there are no sequencing grids. there is no play button. there are no notes. you build everything. you define what a note value is. you define what 'play' is. you compose through algorithms. you write your 'plug ins' (version 3 will support c++ externals...) you can also modify existing classes, or write you own classes. and SC supports OSC. one cpu + sc = anythingyouwant (even tweaky beats...) cheers, christian
