RolloSONIC is a modular sound-synthesis environment with mouse-guided tweaking and real-time module interconnection.

Like the great module racks historically used in making sound effects for science-fiction movies, RolloSONIC lets you add and connect audio-processing modules together, where the sound is playing the entire time so that changes to the interconnections and changes to the sliders are heard immediately -- just like with the real thing.
