Siren includes cross-platform support for MIDI and audio I/O. There are several elements to Siren:

- voices, schedulers and I/O drivers (real-time and file-based voices, sound and MIDI I/O);
- user interface components for musical applications (UI tools and widgets);
- several built-in applications (editors and browsers for Siren objects);
- interfaces to external C or C++ code for audio/MIDI streaming I/O, and analysis/synthesis packages such as CSL and Loris
