SDL library as an auxilary algorithmic design tool when creating compositions and synthetic audio combinations by using Nyquist programming language

Taran Vasiliy V.

The matter dealing with the implementation of the SDL library in Nyquist programming is investigated in the article below. The main purpose of the scientific analysis suggested by the author is the qualitative acceleration of the conventional translation of score notation into basic Nyquist language code. The potential abilities of the SDL library contributing the maintenance of algorithmic design practices by using the Nyquist language are revealed. It is established that the calculating procedures of the SDL library are based on the generation of tabular lists containing mathematical parameters and some symbolic data contributing fast and high-quality calculation when translating the score notation into microscenaries and the procedural code of the Nyquist language. Individual code samples demonstrate its structure and rules for the presentation of logical constructions defining calculating process according to the SDL library manuals. The main functions of the SDL library affecting the formation of the event-driven mechanism in Nyquist programming are analyzed and clarified. It is proved that the use of the SDL library tools significantly simplifies and improves the application procedures for translating score notation into procedural code of the Nyquist language.
