SuperCollider

brew install --cask supercollider v3.14.1

Platform for audio synthesis, sound design, and algorithmic composition with an integrated IDE and server.

Why you might care

SuperCollider is open-source and widely used in academic and professional sound/music contexts. It combines a real-time audio server, a dynamically-typed language, and a code editor in one environment—ideal for composers and sound artists who need tight feedback loops between code and audio. Free and cross-platform.
