Abstract

Summary RUBATO® is a metamachine designed for representation, analysis, and perfor­mance of music. It was developed on the NEXTSTEP environment during two SNSF grants from 1992 to 1996 by the author and Oliver Zahorka [348, 347, 350, 357, 588, 590]. From 1998 to 2001, the software was ported to Mac OS X by Jörg Garbers in a grant of the Volkswagen Foundation. RUBATO®’s architecture is that of a frame application which admits loading of an arbitrary number of modules at run-time. Such a module is called RUBETTE®. There are very different types of Rubettes. On the one hand, they may be designed for primavista, com­positional, analytical, performance stemma or logical and geometric predication tasks. On the other, they are designed for subsidiary tasks, such as filtering from and to databases, informa­tion representation and navigation tasks, or else for more specific subtasks for larger “macro” Rubettes. A RUBETTE® of the subtask type is coined OPERATOR and implements, for ex­ample, what we have called performance operators in section 44.7. The RUBATO® concept also includes distributed operability among different peers. This software is conceived as a musico­logical research platform and not a hard-coded device, we describe this approach. Concluding this chapter, we discuss the relation between frame and modules.
