Page "JSyn" Paragraph 1

Although fundamentally a synthesis language ( imitative of if not directly inspired by Csound and other MUSIC-N languages ), JSyn has a number of powerful extensions and ancillary libraries, including JMSL ( a Java update to the HMSL music specification language ) and JScore ( a staff notation editor and library ), which adds a significantly higher level of musical informatics to the package than would normally be supplied with a set of synthesis routines.

Wire, a graphical editor for JSyn routines, also allows developers to create DSP chains using a simple GUI that gives the API some of the ease of use of programs such as Max / MSP.
