Computer music under UNIX(TM) eighth edition
21 April 1986
We describe an evolving computer music system which draws upon many of the novel facilities of the 8th edition as well as the standard repertoire of UNIX(TM) tools. The Teletype 5620 bitmap display serves both as the user's terminal and real-time controller.
The mux wondow system is used to download a MIDI interface driver which services other windows (by direct code sharing) and host process (which write on the driver's control stream). We presently have two MIDI-compatible instruments, a Yamaha DX7 and TX816.
