DESCRIPTION
Impromptu is an OS X programming environment for composers, sound artists, VJ's and graphic artists with an interest in live or interactive programming. Impromptu is a Scheme language environment, a member of the Lisp family of languages.
Time plays a major role in the Impromptu environment allowing accurate real-time scheduling of events and code blocks. Impromptu is a dynamic environment designed specifically for the creation and manipulation of running programs in live performance.
Impromptu is a programmable AudioUnit host. A powerful environment for creating AudioUnit graphs of arbitrary complexity with precise programmatic control over individual AU nodes. Musical material can be precisely scheduled for performance by any AudioUnit instrument node and parameters, program changes and presets can be programmatically changed on-the-fly as well as directly via the AU's user interface.
Quartz drawing routines can be applied with the same temporal accuracy as audio material allowing composers to tightly integrate audio and visual components. Quicktime movies, bezier paths, images, CoreImage filters and beautiful text rendering are a few of the graphics features available for artists to play with.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.3: - The most substantial addition is the inclusion of a set of custom AudioUnits designed specifically for programatic use in Impromptu. They do not provide UI’s but instead provide programmatic support for such things as loading, playing and recording audio-sample data, returning fft data, setting up feedback loops etc.. These AudioUnits are low level (i.e. UGens) and when used in conjunction with Apple’s shipping AudioUnits (filters, reverbs, delays etc.) provide a more programmatic method for playing with synthesis processes directly within Impromptu.
- Many more enhancements
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
