Snd-RT: Realtime extension for the sound editor SND

The RT extension for the sound editor SND consists of two parts:

• The RT Engine - An engine for doing realtime signal processing.
• The RT Compiler - A compiler for a scheme-like programming language to generate realtime-safe code understood by the RT Engine.

• PDF Documentation (contains the same as the html documentation)
• CLM documentation
• Linux Quick Start
• Emacs lisp code for Snd-RT and Snd.
• Screenshot (It's a very old screenshot, now the code can be written much more compactly and cryptic like this.)

Note that to avoid too many unwanted surprises, please use Snd-ls to run Snd-RT, and not Snd. Snd often works as well, but Snd-ls is the supported distribution which I also use myself when developing Snd-RT.
