you know, i've been thinking about this recently, and while i need more haskell skillz if i want to do some sound synthesis, i think it would be really spiffy to work on something like that! are you working on this privately or do you have a public repo one can clone? a fully-haskell sound synth program would be really spiffy!! (esp if one could code new synths in real-time in haskell....)
Folks have been doing sound synthesis in Haskell for a long time; in particular, I'm currently building on Rohan Drape's bindings to SuperCollider http://slavepianos.org/rd/ut/hsc3-texts/hsc3-tutorial.html There's also Henning Thielemann who managed to do real-time audio editing in Haskell by performing run-time compilation with LLVM http://hackage.haskell.org/package/synthesizer Still, I think there's a need (I certainly have it) for a simple-to-use package that makes it really easy to play with sound synthesis in Haskell, i.e. that supports instant gratification. I'm currently working on a project called 'tomato-rubato' that aims to do precisely that. I'll put up a github repo once I have something that is glued together by duct tape rather than spit.
