Package details
Nyquist is an elegant and powerful language for sound synthesis
and music composition.
Unlike score languages that tend to deal only with events, or
signal processing languages that tend to deal only with signals
and synthesis, it handles both in a single integrated system. It
is also flexible and easy to use because it is based on an
interactive Lisp interpreter.
You can design instruments by combining functions (much as you
would using the orchestra languages of Music V, cmusic, or
Csound). You can call upon these instruments and generate a sound
just by typing a simple expression. You can combine simple
expressions into complex ones to create a whole composition.
It runs under any Unix environment, MacOS, Windows 95, and Windows
NT, and it produces sound files as output (or direct audio output
under Windows).
