Abstract:

We have recently ported the Music Kit to the Intel PC NEXTSTEP architecture, using inexpensive DSP and MIDI cards. We describe the port, which is soon to be released as Music Kit 5.0. We also introduce SynthBuilder, a graphic Music Kit instrument design and performance system. Finally, we discuss future plans for the Music Kit architecture.
