<H2>Who was it designed for?</H2>
<B>Tao</B> was conceived as a compositional tool for electroacoustic and
computer music. Therefore more emphasis has been placed on its ability
to produce a wide range of interesting and complex sounds than on
catering for traditional music based on scales, rhythms, harmony etc.
From a personal perspective I wanted to design a synthesis program
which would allow me to deal with tangible physical instruments
rather than abstract synthesis algorithms. I wanted to be able to
construct virtual musical instruments with very complex behaviours and
experiment with them in an intuitive physical manner.
