The IRCAM signal processing workstation — An environment for research in real-time musical signal processing and performance

Abstract The IRCAM Signal Processing Workstation (ISPW) is a rapid prototyping environment for real-time signal and event processing. The principal components of the ISPW described in this paper are a high-speed calculation engine, a real-time operating system running on this engine, and a tool for creating dynamic graphic user interfaces for applications running in the environment.
