Code, in Ruby, to generate random music as text files and a text to midi 
converter written in Ruby. I then harvest the good stuff and load it 
into Cubasis. Once I have completed the GA package for Ruby that I am 
working on at the moment (as if I had the time) there is the CSound 
Manual that I want to look into and I guess I will be scripting it from 
Ruby also.

The midi compiler is in the RAA as is a package called Ruple written by 
someone else (Neil I think).

Off to look at supercollider...
