FORMULA is a Forth-based programming environment for computer music, and can be used for algorithmic composition, interactive systems, or programmed score interpretation. It provides a programming model in which separate lightweight processes are used to generate musical parameters such as pitch, rhythm, volume, articulation, and tempo. FORMULA runs on personal computers (Macintosh and Atari ST) and is typically used to control MIDI synthesizers. This manual describes the features of FORMULA and briefly discusses its implementation.
