hi-

cmusic is an integrated software synthesis environment written largely by
F. Richard Moore, Gareth Loy, and Mark Dolson at UCSD, LaJolla.  The last
I heard, it was available for $100 or so from CARL (the Computer Audio
Research Lab), and what you get is source for a VAX 780 running Berkeley
4.2BSD, plus a fair amount of documentation.  I don't have the CARL
USnail address on hand, but you could find out more by contacting
Dick Moore over uucp at ...!ucbvax!sdcarl!frm .

We have the package up and running on a Pyramid 90x at Northwestern 
Computer Music...we don't use the mainstream package much, mostly
the utilities and some of the conventions...there are some really
nice software signal processing programs, most notably "pvoc", a
phase vocoder.  Cmusic interfaces to Csound, a UNIX sound file system,
which has some real problems... it works ok, as long as not very
many people make use of it.  But it will do fine to start with.
