Steven Yi: a presentation on two programs, blue and patterns. both of them are composition environments for use with csound. blue is based on the idea of soundObjects, and includes a timeline which may have polyObjects that have timelines within them (timelines within timelines). patterns is a pattern-based edittor that features a pattern bank and grid edittor. both feature an orchestra manager to manage csound instruments, as well as other features to aid in managing information for csound.
