[comp.sys.next] NeXT Sound Software Question

dnelson@ibiza.cs.miami.edu (Dru Nelson) (08/17/89)

   What is the NeXT's facility for sound now?  What is the standard
   way of synthesizing it?  Is it a device?

   The reason I ask is I know that the NeXT + its DSP can really do
   a lot of stuff.  Still, what standard is offered for sound
   production in the system software (or Object-C libraries)?

   Not too important or urgent a question.

   Thanks.

I refer those interested to the latest issue of Computer Music Journal.
I believe this is the "summer" issue.  Several articles are devoted to
using Object-Oriented techniques to generate music.  One article in
particular talks about the "Sound" and "Music" kits available on the
NeXT.  Happy reading...
