Nyquist programming language: current situation and prospects of its development in the area of computer audio engineering and audio informatics

Taran Vasily V.

The paper deals with general theoretical and applied problems in the area of computer programming related to the development of utility programs, micro programs and audio applications written in Nyquist programming language and aimed at the efficiency improving when audio material of various complexity being processed in context of current development of audio engineering and audio informatics. Key modern technological problems hindering qualitative processing of audio material by program means are highlighted. Current technical and computational capabilities of Nyquist programming language are demonstrated. Its own NyquistIDE integrated development environment is analyzed. The future developments of Nyquist programming language as basic source contributing to more efficient processing of audio data during the procedure related to engineering and research activities are justified. In conclusion (based on the analyzed scientific material), the main findings of the study are briefly systematized and suggestions for the use of this technical tool are formulated.
