This paper reports on the experimental native embedding of audio processing into the Antescofo system, to leverage timing precision both at the program and system level, to accommodate time-driven (audio processing) and event-driven (control) computations, and to preserve system behaviour on multiple hardware platforms. Here native embedding means that audio computations can be specified using dedicated DSLs (e.g., Faust) compiled on-the-fly and driven by the Antescofo scheduler. We showcase results through an example of an interactive piece by composer Pierre Boulez, Anthèmes 2 for violin and live electronics.

Scheduling problems hold an important place in most real-time musical systems. We here present an algorithm allowing to solve these problems efficiently and ensuring a bounded low scheduling cost per event in any circumstances. Its principle is to maintain events all the better sorted out as their running time gets closer.
