It has recently been ported to run on today's Mac OS using JUCE.\n\nHMSL provides:\n\n* an object oriented dialect called ODE\n* hierarchical music composition classes such as sequential and parallel collections\n* abstract multi-dimensional \"shapes\" that can be edited and played\n* MIDI I/O toolbox and parsers\n* cross platform GUI toolkit for editors and instruments\n* support for live coding\n* utilities for algorithmic composition including Markov Chains, randomness, scales, etc.\n\n[**DOCUMENTATION and guided tours are here.**](docs)\n\nDescription of folders:\n\n    docs/ - Original docs converted to Open Office format\n\n    hmsl/ - original package\n    hmsl/fth - the guts of HMSL\n    hmsl/pieces - lots of examples and some pieces that were distributed with HMSL\n    hmsl/screens - interactive GUI pages that need conversion\n    hmsl/tools - tools written using HMSL, e.g. the score entry system\n\n    native/Win32 - port of HMSL to pForth for Windows by Robert Marsanyi and Phil Burk\n    native/juce - port of HMSL to pForth using JUCE by Phil Burk\n\n## Credits\n\nThe current version of HMSL is built on top of pForth, a ‘C’ based Forth.\n\n   \u003chttp://www.softsynth.com/pforth/\u003e\n\n* HMSL (C) 1986 Phil Burk, Larry Polansky, David Rosenboom.\n* HMSL is now released under the open source Apache License V2.\n* Original development 1985 - 1993 by Phil Burk, Larry Polansky and David Rosenboom at the Mills College Center for Contemporary Music.\n* Port to Windows in 1996 by Phil Burk and Robert Marsanyi\n* Port to Macintosh using Objective-C in 2015 by Andrew C Smith\n* Port to JUCE in 2019 by Phil Burk\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fphilburk%2Fhmsl","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fphilburk%2Fhmsl","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fphilburk%2Fhmsl/lists"}
