OSW allows users to develop at different levels, including visual patching, XML editing, scripting and high-level C++. Components called transforms are combined to form programs called patches. The set of included transforms can be extended using the ?Externalizer,? a tool for writing high-level specifications of new transforms. The OSW real-time scheduler supports a uniform timing model for all components and symmetric multiprocessing.}, url = {http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/publication/open_architecture_real_time_music_software}, author = {Chaudhary, Amar and Freed, Adrian and Wright, Matthew} }
