version 6.2.8, MacOS X UB

Symbolic composer (scom pour les intimes) est un environnement de composition vraiment excellent.
J'ai utilisé (et utilise encore) la plupart de ses concurrents (grace/common music, pwgl, AcToolbox, AthenaCL, SuperCollider etc...) mais scom dépasse en efficacité tout le monde grace à son énorme collection de fonctions toutes reliables les une avec les autres..
De plus il est tres facile d'y ajouté des fonctions.
Le langage demande bien sur un investissement en temps d'apprentissage (comme tout ce genre d'outils) mais on se sent vraiment récompensé quand on peux en tirer tout ce que l'on peut imaginer.
Vraiment excellent ! !
