Tao is a software package for sound synthesis using physical models. It provides a virtual acoustic material constructed from masses and springs which can be used as the basis for building quite complex virtual musical instruments.

Tao comes with a synthesis language for creating and playing instruments and a fully documented (eventually) C++ API for those who would like to use it as an object library.

Here are some key features of "Tao":
Ability to create complex virtual instruments from primitive acoustic building blocks.
OpenGL animated visualisations showing the acoustic waves propagating through the instruments.
WAV format output files.
Comprehensive documentation including a user manual, tutorials (eventually) and various examples. All documentation is available in either LaTeX (dvi, ps) or HTML formats.
Available under GNU public license.
