Dsp.rack is a suite of tools that runs in Max/MSP on a Macintosh computers with 500 mHz or faster cpu.  Dsp.rack was designed to model the familiar paradigm of mixer, patch bay, and signal processor rig that became a popular approach to integrating electronic music with live performance during the 1980s and 1990s. Dsp.rack has been developed to take advantage of the familiarity of this paradigm, the decades of performance practice related to it, and the processing speeds possible with the latest computers. With the relative ease of expandability offered by a software-based system, Dsp.rack integrates the functions of programmable mixing, routing, and processing of audio along with the ability to play overlaid, pre-recorded sound files.  Dsp.rack was created with the intention of offering an entry point to composers, performers, students, and teachers as a set of tools that are relatively familiar, flexible, and open-ended.
