Unipisa / TAUmus-Workbench

This SWHAPPE workbench is for the acquisition of the source code of TAUmus, the software controlling the real-time computer-music system TAU2-TAUMUS, developed in the 70's of the XX century at the IEE and CNUCE in Pisa under the leadership of Maestro P. Grossi.

For the landing page, my proposal is the following: @CarloQMontangero @scatenag @emulatingkat

TAUmus (1972-1977) TAUmus is computer music software developed during the 70’s, first at IEI and then at CNUCE, by a team led by Maestro Pietro Grossi. It was basically a command line interpreter running on the IBM 370 that had substituted the 7090 at CNUCE in the meantime, and it enabled the user to create and modify music to be played by the TAU2 audio terminal. This was a hardware device that was developed by the same team at IEI, to play, under the control of the 370, the music created via TAUmus.

For TAUmus I suggest using this image: https://github.com/Unipisa/TAUmus-Workbench/blob/master/additional_materials/ExibitHelloWorld.png

Or the Team image, for which I can't find the link.

I suggest this one https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Foto_tau2.jpg or a slice of it (I can work on it..)

The exhibit one is about a simulator...

I support Guido's suggestion for the picture.

For the text, I propose the following.

TAUmus (1972-1977) TAUmus is computer music software developed during the 70’s in Pisa, first at IEI and then at CNUCE, by a team led by Maestro Pietro Grossi.

TAUmus was basically a command line interpreter running on an IBM 370. It enabled the user to create and modify early pieces of computer music and play them.

The sound was produced, under the control of the 370, by the TAU2 audio terminal, a device then developed by the same team at IEI.

Thank you both for the image and text!
