Full Discussion: Is there anything the shell can't do?

To answer your question from the thread title: the shell is not good in math. Try to do a FFT or any other type of signal processing algorithm and you get to its limits quite quickly.

That is not to say i don't like shells. Not at all. There are just problems where other languages are better suited. I'd say: put shell, C and Assembler (maybe replacing C with FORTRAN) into your toolbox and there is absolutely no programming task you aren't well equipped for.

stk-demo

STK-DEMO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       STK-DEMO(1)

NAME

       stk-demo - Sound Synthesis Toolkit demo application

SYNOPSIS

       stk-demo Instrument [options]
       STKDemo

DESCRIPTION

       The  stk-demo  program demonstrates several of the algorithms that are built into the Sound Synthesis Toolkit (STK). The stk-demo is a com-
       mand line program, but it has a GUI frontend called STKDemo. Use STKDemo if you	want to try out the different synthesis algorithms  imple-
       mented in STK.

       The stk-demo program can be used to build your own synthesizer/sequencer combination. The program is listening to SKINI commands on stdin.

       Instrument can be one of the following:

       Clarinet,  BlowHole,  Saxofony, Flute, Brass, BlowBotl, Bowed, Plucked, StifKarp, Sitar, Mandolin, Rhodey, Wurley, TubeBell, HevyMetl, Per-
       cFlut, BeeThree, FMVoices, VoicForm, Moog, Simple, Drummer, BandedWG, Shakers, ModalBar, Mesh2D, Resonate, Whistle

       Simultaneous multiple output types are supported.  Likewise, simultaneous control input types are supported.   SKINI  formatted	scorefiles
       can be piped or redirected to stk-demo, though realtime control flags should be omitted when doing so. If the optional <file names> are not
       specified, default names will be indicated.  Each flag must include its own '-' sign.

OPTIONS

       -s RATE to specify a sample rate

       -n NUMBER
	      specifies the number of voices to allocate

       -ow <file name>
	      for .wav audio output file

       -os <file name>
	      for .snd audio output file

       -om <file name>
	      for .mat audio output file

       -oa <file name>
	      for .aif audio output file

       -or    for realtime audio output

       -ip    for realtime control input by pipe

       -is <port>
	      for realtime control input by socket

       -im    for realtime control input by MIDI,

       SEE ALSO

	      /usr/share/doc/stk-doc in the stk-doc package.
