Real-time Composition in Elody
Stéphane Letz, Dominique Fober, Yann Orlarey · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2000
Elody was initially an environment for musical composition allowing the description and algorithmic manipulation of non realtime musical structures.To allow the definition of real-time transformation processes, we have added a new primitive in the language : the real-time input stream.This object can be manipulated and transformed like non real-time objects even before being known.Evaluating a real-time expression gives as result a command sequence which drives a transformation engine.This one transforms a real-time input stream in an output stream.
