Synthesize and Save in Terminal?

Dear all,

I would like to know, if there is a way to run the Modalys in Terminal level?
The material is a Lisp Patch for Modalisp, and I want to use the terminal to get a synthesized aiff sound file from the lisp patch. Which command should I write into the terminal?

Ps. The reason is, I would like to synthesize a 5 minute “microtonal clarinet trio” in Modalisp, but because of the Segmentation violations (which could caused by the limited amount of accesses – because of too many microtonal keys), I have to cut the music into 10 second fragments and then synthesize and reconstruct them together. It costs for a 15 minute music (5 min * 3 instruments) unbelievably much time and energy.

I have already wrote a function which automatically generates the Text Patch for Modalisp. If there is a way to run the modalisp in terminal, I could connect the Lisp function directly to the terminal and the life will be better ^^

Thank you a lot in advance!

Best regards,
Jialin Liu
