Key:


W = Microsoft Windows
M = Apple Macintosh
U = Unix (including Linux and BSD)

Of course you can use emulators on other platforms to run these programs. A popular program for Unix is WINE, which has been tested with programs such as Granulab and AudioMulch.

Other programs such as Cubase, Logic and Protools may also be used in more of a micromontage format, by cutting up samples and rearranging the pieces.
