Mondrian - http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~brinkman/software/mondrian/ OR 2. Midge - http://www.undef.org.uk/code/midge/ will at least partially fill your needs. This quote from the Mondrian homepage seems to suggest that it can be used for "real-time" use : "Both MondrianLive and MondrianPM can be used as a vim plugin, effectively turning vim into a musical instrument." - http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~brinkman/software/mondrian/ This quote from the Midge homepage also seems relevant (although I'm not sure it can be used for "real-time" use): "[ Features include : ] An emacs mode with syntax highlighting for editing and compiling midge files and playing the resulting midi files (if you have a command line midi player). See README.elisp" - http://www.undef.org.uk/code/midge/#features -- David Collins GPG id 646C8A43 -- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
