It can be used to create music, visuals or +installations, but by itself creates neither sound nor video. Rather, `alv` is +used together with other tools and synthesizers (for example +[SuperCollider][supercollider] or [Pilot][pilot]). In such an ensemble of +tools, `alive` takes the role of a 'conductor', telling the other tools what to +play when by sending commands to them using a variety of protocols, such as OSC +and MIDI. + +## contents + +1.
