DEMOS
JMSL Demo Applets demonstrate some of JMSL's design features. They demonstrate hierarchies, scheduling, shape data and its interpretation, all of which are central to JMSL. Some make their activity known through text output or flashing colors instead of audio, so you can see these with any Java-enabled browser. Others make sound using JSyn (you will need the JSyn plug-in for these).
