In this paper the<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">author<br \/>\ninvestigates the problem of creating a meta-language for<br \/>\nsound<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">synthesis. This constitutes an elegant<br \/>\nsolution for the above cited<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">problems,<br \/>\nwithout the need of a yet new acoustic compiler<br \/>\nimplementation,<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">allowing a tight integration<br \/>\nwhich is difficult to obtain with the<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">present<br \/>\nuser tools. Although CsoundXML is not a universal language,<br \/>\nit<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">is compatible with the Csound orchestra<br \/>\nformat, and consequently, other<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">programs in<br \/>\nthe Music N family. The greatest advantage of [our]<br \/>\napproach<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">is that the GUI is created from a<br \/>\nregular CsoundXML, that is, no<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">specific<br \/>\ngraphical information has to be coded in the instrument. The<br \/>\nGUI<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">is generated automatically. Data can<br \/>\neasily be obtained from the<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">instrument by<br \/>\nusing Xpath queries. Instrument reuse is made possible<br \/>\nby<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">a high-level description, named<br \/>\ninstruments, flexible signal input<br \/>\nand<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">output, and mainly the possibility to be<br \/>\nable to define multiple outputs<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">depending on<br \/>\ncontext. Unlike other solutions that add graphical<br \/>\ncommands<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">in the instrument, the meta-language<br \/>\nXML structure allows the automatic<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\">creation<br \/>\nof graphical instruments, without extra<br \/>\nopcodes.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Helvetica\" color=\"Blue\"><u>http:\/\/www.iua.upf.es\/mtg\/ismir2004\/review\/CRFILES\/paper189-b942280043f6a77fc97b731e0c2897f7.pdf<\/u><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Helvetica\">See<br \/>\nalso the<br \/>\nabstract:<\/font><br \/><font face=\"Helvetica\" color=\"Blue\"><u>http:\/\/www.iua.upf.es\/mtg\/ismir2004\/review\/abstract.php?idPaper=189<\/u><\/font><font face=\"Helvetica\">&#8220;<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Helvetica\">(quoted<br \/>\nfrom the XML.org Daily Newslink)<\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-7\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 7);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-7\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-7\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Translate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2w3Qj-7","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
