Since no one mentioned it. Sonic Pi[0] is probably the easiest to learn and quite powerful[1]. You program in Ruby and both the IDE and the API are quite simple

  It’s an easy to use and pretty wrapper around Supercollider. Which is neat because once you get deep you can graduate to more custom SC setups. I spent a lot of time with PureData. It sucks that it’s no longer maintained. Supercollider and Sonic Pi are very worthy successors. Here’s one of my fave public PureData patches, even though it’s dated. Generative dubstep that builds towards a drop that is triggered when you hit the drop button. https://github.com/dropship/special-delivery https://github.com/dropship/special-delivery

    > It sucks that it’s no longer maintained. huh, why do you think that? https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data Maybe you've been thinking about Pd extended - which is indeed unmaintained. There is a kind of successor called PurrData, but it's not 100% compatible with Pd Vanilla. BTW, Pd 0.50 will probably be released in a couple of weeks (I'm a regular contributor)

      Huh. This is all very interesting. Thank you! I'll look into it!
