Tactu5.
A Processing music assistant.

Tactu5 is a Processing library aimed to aid the creation of algorithmic music in real time. It consists of a set of classes focused in defining musical elements (such as Note, Cluster, Sequence, ClusterSequence), utility classes ( at the moment just one, Tactu5Utility), an Aggregator to merge musical materials in a score and feed T5 internal sequencer.
Tactu5 has not a built-in synthesis system and it's not focused on a specific communication protocol too. Tactu5 has been designed to be quite easily integrated with existing software synthesis systems (Csound, PureData, SuperCollider etc...) through network communcation ( for instance OSCp5) or by directly using some java binding.

Because Tactu5 data values are mainly stored and modelled as floating point numbers it's easy to create microtonal music as well as using it as a general pourpouse sequencer when high resolution values are needed.

Tactu5 now is released as an alpha version, so quoting the usual mantra:
