USING LUA FOR AUDIOVISUAL COMPOSTION
Graham Wakefield, Wesley Smith · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2007
In this paper, we present new opportunities to overcome some of the inherent limitations of a visual data-flow environment such as Max/MSP/Jitter, by using domain specific (audio and graphical) extensions of the Lua programming language as libraries (externals).Lua is flexible, extensible and efficient, making it an ideal choice for designing a programmatic interface for multimedia composition.
