Max4/MSP2
Interactive computer music programming environment for Macintosh computers by Cycling '74. At this site you can download demonstration a version of Max/MSP and the accompanying documentation. The manual for MSP ("MSP2.pdf") contains tutorials on basic concepts of sound synthesis and processing, and demonstrates their implementation in MSP. The "Max 4 / MSP 2 Software Development Kit" (further down the page) provides documentation and examples for coding your own Max/MSP objects in C.
Pd
Max-like computer music programming environment (by Miller Puckette, the creator of Max) for Windows, Irix, and Lunix computers. Includes the program, open source code, and HTML documentation. The site also contains information on how to write your own external Pd objects in C. An additional tutorial on writing Pd externals has been written by Johannes M. Zmölnig.
