Introduction
This note is a plea to the computer music community to aim higher
in the development of new graphical tools and better graphical user interfaces
(GUIs) for computer music applications.
It has been 10 years now since user interfaces such as that of Digidesign
Inc's Sound Designer and my own MacMix were designed. It is distressing to
see so how many recently built programs are simple permutations of the same
graphical elements.
