Subjectsound synthesis languages?
Hi there,

I understand that all of us in this mailing list are Csounders.  But
Sometimes I could read something about other sound synthesis
languages, such as Cmix, Ceicilia etc.  Is there any other sound
synthesis language?  Could someone explain me the comparison of those
languages, since I know very little about other languages except
Csound.  Furthermore, what is the best and the worst of Csound?

Regards
Qian Chen

It has a rather small users group, but it is still alive and kicking. 
Brad Garton and folks at Columbia have created a wonderful version 
that works very well in realtime. Better MIDI implementation is in the 
works. 
The Mac version is dead as far as I know, but with Rhapsody that may 
change.

Definitely worth checking out.

Cheers,
Dan
