A Composer's Notes on the Development and Implementation of Software for a Digital Synthesizer

This paper will describe some of the problems encountered in the design and implementation of SYN4B, a programming language for control of the 4B digital synthesizer. These problems are considered from the point of view of a composer, not a computer scientist. It is my hope that other composers working with similarly sophisticated hardware and software may be able to more thoroughly utilize and control their individual computer music environments by gaining some insight into just what sort of decisions and compromises must necessarily be made in the design and implementation of software for a real time computer music system.
