what language do they use to write their software? what are some good, free/semi-free programs for music that i can download? |

Mac or PC? Lisp is a very popular programming language... I'm taking a class this summer on algorithmic music |
||||||||

i'm a computer science major, so i've had a few of the popular languages... i'm not good enough to know how to manipulate sounds with code |

i havnt heard that they make their own programs... but I do know they use Max/MSP, which basicially lets you build your own instruments... |

.... and programs |

i read the interview in the new XLR8R magazine... AE on the cover |

There are some of these kinds of software that allows you to put together componenets like LFO's and Oscillators and envelope generators and user defined filters and route signals from one to the other, thereby making your own custom synths. I am guessing that Ae use something of that sort rather than actually code per se. More like putting a filter together in Matlab. Actually, I wonder if anyone would consider using Matlab itself to implement their synths...I mean, it is fucking powerful after all...and the whole things is as easy as a b c. I wonder if it will give good results. Has anyone here tried it already? |

Specifying... Lisp is the preferred programming language for music manipulation. When I get some links and some experience with it and various programs I will put up some links and some tutorials for everyone so you guys can experiment I use PC, and it's a lot less accessable than a Mac. There are several libraries for Lisp that are written for mac with a decent graphical/text interface, Max is one of the better known ones definitly Two others that haven't been mentioned are Open Music and Common Music, although I don't have links right now |

Native Instruments Reaktor can also be programmed pretty well, but it's an incredibly high learning curve to get something halfway decent... I haven't dived into that one yet, but it's definitly one of the things on my list |

yeah, max/msp, and Supercollider (www.audiosynth.com) and apparrently something called Symbollic Composer aswell which i am trying to find the brainpower to get into at the moment. |

Matlab is not realtime environement unlike MAX/MSP or Supercollider. And you need a good dose of signal theory/synthesis if you want to get something out of it. |

i know they r using curtis roads software: search for 'curtis roads' website he's the guy that created granular synth, and pulsar synth, theres free progs on his website, i cudnt try them out as they r for mac... |

both PulsarGenerator and CloudGenerator were made with supercollider. curtis roads is the daddy. |
