This paper gives an overview of Soundium2. Soundium2 is a unique combination of different areas of computer science ranging from real-time signal processing over programming languages to automatic software configuration. It not only serves as an experimental tool for exploring new ideas in computer science but also is frequently used in live multimedia performances in order to expose it to realworld conditions. Although similar systems exist, few were designed explicitly for live multimediaperformances. In this sense, Soundium2 is more like a multi-user, audio-visual instrument than a software system. Soundium2 is introduced and an overview of its architecture is given. The features of Soundium2 are outlined and compared with related work.
