Of possible interest here, I wrote Scheme for Max, which lets you use S7 Scheme in side Max, and hence, inside Lisp. I use it to make Max for Live devices in Scheme!

It's fantastic for controlling the Live API because the way the Live API works is you identify things you want to control with lists of symbols. This is far more pleasant in Scheme than either in Max, JS, or Python (your other options in Live, though Python is not officially supported for non-device vendors).

While Live has many warts, and I wouldn't want it to be my only DAW (I also use Reaper), the Live API lets you do things you can't come close to any other pro audio software (yes, including bitwig and reaper). Being able to have my sequencers interface with the entire app is incredibly powerful.

Here's the project page and youtube page if you want to check it out:

I also ported csound~ for Pd to Max so one can mix csound in with Scheme and Max seamlessly. https://github.com/iainctduncan/csound_max
