[sdiy] Desinging Software Synthesizers ?

[andrew]

Csound has been real-time for many years now.
As long as your chosen platform is fast enough...
There is even a VST plugin version.
However, it's strengths do lie in it's limitless off-line processing power.
I can't reccomend it highly enough for seriously complex sythesis.
