CrestMuse Toolkit: A Java-based framework for signal and symbolic music processing

In this paper, we present a Java-based framework for supporting the development of music-related software, called the CrestMuse Toolkit. Although various efficient software for dataflow visual programming of sound and music processing have been developed, they are not necessarily suitable for exploiting conventional programming skills and experience. Our toolkit has an dataflow-paradigm-based but non-visual programming environment that has been carefully designed from an object-oriented point of view. By using this tookit, one can develop music-related software smoothly and efficiently.
