Final Words on This Web Page

RTcmix was originally written by Brad Garton and Dave Topper, adding real-time capabilities to the cmix music-programming language developed by Paul Lansky. John Gibson, Doug Scott (and others) added significant extensions to the package.

The [rtcmix~] object was written by Brad Garton with much advice and assistance from Dan Trueman and Luke DuBois (Dan wrote the internal buffer script-editing code). Joshua Kit Clayton was an invaluable resource, as always. Thanks guys!

Luke has successfully made plugins from RTcmix instruments using the Max/MSP "pluggo" system.



For more information about RTcmix itself, see The RTcmix Docs.

I hope this may be useful for others; I'm having a blast with it. Let me know what you think!
