 * Comment. This very brief article suggests that this may be a version of --- or open source alternative to --- UPIC, a software tool for composers developed in connection with Iannis Xenakis, and as such probably genuinely notable.  Were the article clearer on that relationship, merger might be an alternative.  This may be a reliable source, but the string "Iannix" apparently names other people and places. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:07, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Quick comment. I'll have to come back to this, but based on a quick look the French sources, this project is not developed by Xenakis, but rather by a group called "La kitchen". Apparently, it attempts to continue Xenakis' UPIC. Since this is a one-line article, a merge/redirect to UPIC should work, but I haven't determined if the new project is notable or not. The French sources include some interviews with the developers of IanniX. It's unclear to me right now how independent those are of the subject. Apparently, the venue in which the interview was published, the French CeCN magazine, was speedily deleted from the FR wiki as spam. Pcap  ping  19:07, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge & redirect to UPIC. There are a few books/scholar non-false-positive independent coverage hits, e.g. this, which briefly says that IanniX is an attempt to recreate UPIC using commodity hardware. And it's not the only such attempt. A few more citations can be found, but not enough for a separate article, I think. (This is a conference paper by the authors of Iannix, which has more details.)
