Abstract
The MPEG-4 standard, which will be published in October 1998, contains extensive provisions for sound synthesis as well as traditional methods of audio compression. At the heart of MPEG-4 Structured Audio, the sound-synthesis framework, is a new music-synthesis language called SAOL. This language, based on the Music-N model, is specified and defined fully in the MPEG-4 International Standard; a real-time implementation must be embedded in any device conforming to the full MPEG-4 Audio standard. In this paper, the structure and capabilities of SAOL are discussed, especially in comparison with other music languages. A discussion of the role of international standardization in the future development of computer-music tools is also presented.
