Sažetak
Visual programming languages are commonly used in the domain of sound and music creation. Specific properties and paradigms of those visual languages make them con-venient and appealing to artists in various applications such as computer composition, sound synthesis, multimedia artworks, and development of interactive system. This paper presents a systematic research of several well- known languages for sound and music creation. The research was based on the analysis of cognitive dimensions such as abstraction gradient, consistency, closeness of mapping, and error- proneness. We have also considered the context of each analyzed language including its availability, community, and learning materials. Data for the research were collected from a survey conducted among users of the most notable and widespread visual programming languages. The data is presented both in raw, textual format and in a summarized table view. The results indicate desirable aspects along with possible improvements of visual programming approaches for different use cases. Finally, future research directions and goals are suggested in the field of visual programming for applications in music.
