CSound

Csound is a computer programming language for dealing with sound. The syntax is based on the C programming language, hence the name.

Csound has a toolkit of over 450 signal processing modules, which one can use to model most commercial synthesizers or multi-effects processors. Once only able to render soundfiles, Csound can now be run interactively, outputing sound in real-time.
