Abstract The original version of the KLANGPILOT notation environment was developed in LISP in 1992, with the purpose of generating Csound scores while allowing more sophisticated control of sound synthesis. It was a text-based, human-readable score language that described musical ideas in a way better suited to the creative process of composition. This language was then translated by the computer into detailed parameters for various sound-synthesis methods. As faster computers became available, a new real-time version of KLANGPILOT was developed that aimed to provide a highly intuitive and interactive user interface for entering, editing and displaying sound including timbral parameters. This article focuses on KLANGPILOT's engine for musical representation in real-time and shows basic concepts of a real-time graphical paradigm of sound representation within the Max/MSP programming environment.
