A binary, drag 'n drop release of Grace 1.0.0 is now available for OSX and Linux.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9766&package_id=260559
Grace stand for Graphical Realtime Algorithmic Composition
Environment. The application is implemented in JUCE and contains
Chicken Scheme as its extension language. You generate sound by
defining algorithms (in Scheme or an infix language called SAL)
and running them in real time to generate sound. Grace contains a
mutipurpose Console window, an emacs-like code editor with evaluation
services, syntax highlighting and symbol documentation lookup,
configureable MIDI In and Out ports, MIDI input callbacks in Scheme
and the beginnings of a general purpose data plotter. For information
about the application see the documentation under the Help menu.
