As computer hardware and software technology advanced, the programming interfaces for computer music software began shifting toward object-oriented paradigms. Many complex real-time sound-processing techniques, previously requiring mastery of foundational code, became accessible through reformed software interfaces. The Max/MSP system, developed by Miller Puckette and others at IRCAM in Paris beginning in 1988, stands as the most prominent example. This system evolved from its original MIDI-control functions (the Max component) to include real-time audio signal processing (the MSP component), narrowing the distance between composers and computer music technology. Interactive music became a prevailing trend; with the further development of real-time video processing (the Jitter plugin), the computer’s role in musical works has advanced from sound editing and instrument timbre simulation to that of an improvising performer.
