portable (most classes are platform-independent C++ code), and it's
completely user-extensible (all source included, no unusual libraries,
and no hidden drivers). We like to think that this increases the
chances that our programs will still work in another 5-10 years. In
fact, the ToolKit has been working continuously for nearly 15 years
now. STK currently runs with "realtime" support (audio and MIDI) on

of the Synthesis ToolKit that are platform-dependent concern real-time
