SLINC 1.0: A GUI for Controlling Synthesis and Linking Instruments in RTcmix

SLINC is graphical interface for controlling parameter fields of RTcmix instruments in real time, written using the powerful open source Gimp Tool Kit (GTK). It runs under Linux systems, and is capable of controlling multiprocessor, and multichannel RTcmix instruments. SLINC also supports a lightweight parser which can be used to send musical sequences, with the synthesis parameters of each element being controlled in real time. Input control can be the GUI itself (e.g., sliders and dials) as well as MIDI, Joystick, and mouse / touchpad. SLINC works on any Linux system, but has been a result of parallel work on the Semi and Portable Audio Workstation (SPAWN and PAWN).
