impromptu

If you are a sound artist or composer with a knack for live or interactive programming, Impromptu is the perfect Mac OS X programming environment for you. Developed with Scheme language, a key member of the Lisp family of languages, Impromptu is dynamic and ideal for creating and manipulating running programs during live performances.

One significant feature that sets Impromptu apart is its ability to handle real-time scheduling of events and code blocks. Whether you are adding audio or visual components, Impromptu's temporal accuracy ensures that they align perfectly. Impromptu's programmable AudioUnit host provides a powerful environment for creating AudioUnit graphs of arbitrary complexity with precise programmatic control over individual AU nodes.

Musical material can be precisely scheduled for performance by any AudioUnit instrument node, making Impromptu perfect for sound artists and composers alike. Additionally, you can apply Quartz drawing routines with the same temporal accuracy as audio material. This feature provides composers with the flexibility to create tightly integrated audio and visual components during live performances.

Overall, Impromptu is a fantastic choice for sound artists and composers seeking powerful live programming software with precise temporal accuracy.
