Where did you hear that Reaktor is based on Csound? As far as I know it was
built from the ground up as a modular environment and has really no relation
to the Music-N languages. I've used Csound intensively and I have been
playing with Reaktor for a couple of months and I don't really see any
similarities except that they are both sound synthesis environments.
Also, here are some more:
SuperCollider, a realtime audio synthesis programming language for the
Macintosh
http://www.audiosynth.com
PD/GEM: pretty much the same thing as MAX/MSP but for PC/Linux and with
graphics handling.
There are about a million different software synthesis programs and all of
them can be found in a book called "The Computer Music Toutorial" from MIT
press. It's huge (1200 pages) and is kinda like a bible for computer music.
