i want to write a music software that can play music, can detect pitch of the sound taken from the computer's microphone(with an algorithm that uses sound filters to filter out frequencies), and enables a good user interface. something similar to smartmusic: http://smartmusic.com

any suggestions for what might be the most appropriate language to write this kind of software ? does anyone know what language smartmusic was coded in?

thanks
