Music is not about notes, it is about sound.
-Gerard Grisey

I just released my new distributed application for chaos research for my NIME musical instrument at http://grid.jamesnsears.com/

Even a low res scan of suspected areas of initial interest of the 6-dimensional parameter space involves some 546875000000000 data points, so download the app and start contributing to the future of chaos in music today.

Processing is great as a library but the development environment leaves a bit to be desired. Features like auto-complete, real-time error detection as you type, a fully featured debugger and the like can save immense amounts of time and frustration. For this, the free, open-source Eclipse can come to the rescue. With a bit of setup, you can be on your way to the best of both worlds in no time.
