Although these commands are designed to be used within an RTcmix scorefile, they can also be used as part of an 'imbedded' application, working in conjunction with the RTcmix object.

The following commands are currently included in the RTcmix distribution (categorized below, alphabetical listing in the frame on the left):

General

• Minc -- overview of the default Minc scorefile parsing language
• rtsetparams -- set basic audio parameters (sampling rate, number of channels, etc.)
• load -- load an instrument into RTcmix for use
• rtinput -- open a soundfile or input device for reading
• rtoutput -- open a soundfile for writing
• set_option -- turn on and off various RTcmix options
• bus_config -- configure and connect the inputs and outputs of RTcmix instruments
• reset -- set the control function/envelope update rate
• control_rate -- set the control function/envelope update rate
• exit -- terminate RTcmix
• f_arg -- return a floating-point argument to the CMIX command
• i_arg -- return an integer argument to the CMIX command
• n_arg -- return the number of arguments to the CMIX command
• s_arg -- return a string argument to the CMIX command
• print -- print a value
• print_off -- stop printing of RTcmix stats to the screen
• print_on -- allow printing of RTcmix stats to the screen
• str_num -- print a concatented list of "atring"/# pairs
• stringify -- return a pointer to a string argument
• system -- execute Terminal or Shell commands from within RTcmix
