[Cs-dev] cross-platform analytic comparison

Subject[Cs-dev] cross-platform analytic comparison
Hi all,

Does anyone know of a relatively unbiassed comparative analysis of  
the strengths and weaknesses of the major sound_synthesis/composition  
tools that are available on more than one platform? I guess I'm  
thinking mainly of the actives: Csound, Supercollider3, MaxMSP/Pd and  
relatives but I wouldn't want to exclude anything outside that group.  
ALM?

I'm particularly interested in a comparison of how each of them  
handles  external data input and abstraction and analysis, as well as  
scriptability and API bundling, but anything which does not border on  
"worship" or "mine is better than yours" would be interesting.

David

This is well worth a research work. About fifteen years ago, Steven Pope
wrote an article comparing Csound, CMix and Cmusic. It's time someone
did a similar job.

Interestingly enough, worship or not, of that 'generation' of software, Csound
is the only 'high-profile' survivor. Of course there's RTMix, but that's really
not the original CMix, and besides, not sure many people use it outside 
America.
Csound in the old survey that might be included on a new one.
