Also, MPEG4 Structured Audio - similar to Csound and MIT people
(Prof. B. Vercoe Research Group) are also working on/with it.


Perry Cook working/worked on synth toolkits - SKINI, Synth Toolkit 3.1
etc - he has a background in synthesis of the singing voice (his CCRMA
PhD)


Paul Lansky has made CMix and Ein amongst others (works at the music
department at Princeton)
