Abstract

How to schedule a desired temporal pattern is one of the most elementary issues to consider when implementing a computer music system, and there already exist several major programming patterns for scheduling. However, such computer music-specific programming patterns seem to not be discussed as frequently as general programming patterns, and thus there may still be some necessity for additional clarification. For instance, the programming pattern called temporal recursion may be better described as self-rescheduling, when contrasted with other programming patterns that perform similar tasks. In this paper, we describe four programming patterns that can be seen in the existing computer music languages and propose the names for these programming patterns. Such a discussion can benefit by initiating the discussion on the computer musicspecific programming patterns in our community, to avoid an unnecessary ambiguity in further investigation of the related programming patterns.
