List of audio programming languages

This is a list of notable programming languages optimized for sound production, algorithmic composition, and sound synthesis. ABC notation, a language for notating music using the ASCII character set Bol Processor, a model of formal grammars enriched with polymetric expressions for the representation of time structures ChucK, strongly timed, concurrent, and on-the-fly audio programming language Real-time Cmix, a MUSIC-N synthesis language somewhat similar to Csound Cmajor, a high-performance JIT-compiled C-style language for DSP Common Lisp Music (CLM), a music synthesis and signal processing package in the Music V family Csound, a MUSIC-N synthesis language released under the LGPL with many available unit generators Extempore, a live-coding environment that borrows a core foundation from the Impromptu environment FAUST, Functional Audio Stream, a functional compiled language for efficient real-time audio signal processing GLICOL, a graph-oriented live coding language written in Rust Hierarchical Music Specification Language (HMSL), optimized more for music than synthesis, developed in the 1980s in Forth Impromptu, a Scheme language environment for Mac OS X capable of sound and video synthesis, algorithmic composition, and 2D and 3D graphics programming Ixi lang, a programming language for live coding musical expression.
