Carla Scaletti has made an environment for music composition called Kyma. Kyma is an interactive, real time software synthesis system based on the Platypus digital signal processor. It runs on the Macintosh II using ParcPlace System's Smalltalk-80. The composer creates sounds through a graphical direct-manipulation interface; sounds can be auditioned at any time during the composition process. For more information, see: "Kyma: An Object-oriented Language for Music Composition" in the Proceedings of the 1987 International Computer Music Conference. "An Interactive Environment for Object-oriented Music Composition and Sound Synthesis" in the 1988 Object-oriented Programming Systems, Languages and Applications (OOPSLA) Conference Proceedings. There will also be articles in the next issues of the Computer Music Journal and the Perspectives of New Music. Kurt J. Hebel
