Open Source Lisp Sound/Audio Software for Windows

Nyquist is a language for sound synthesis and music composition. It is implemented in C and C++ and runs on Win32, OSX, and Linux. Nyquist combines a powerful functional programming style with efficient signal-processing primitives. Nyquist is also embedded as a scripting language in Audacity.

N.B. SuperCollider is now hosted at GitHub, and the most recent versions can be downloaded from there. http://supercollider.github.io A real time audio synthesis engine, and an object-oriented programming language specialised for music. SuperCollider was created in 1996 by James McCartney, now (since version 3) released as free software.

Common Music (CM) is a real-time music composition system implemented in JUCE/C++ and Scheme. It generates musical output via MIDI, OSC, CLM, FOMUS and CSOUND. Its user application is called GRACE (Graphical Real-time Algorithmic Composition Environment)

CL-FMOD is a set of common lisp bindings to the fmod sound library. The bindings are completely written in lisp, with the help of the UFFI common lisp library for portability.

Emacs VR Mode integrates the features of Dragon NaturallySpeaking with GNU Emacs.

FrAid(FRactal AID) is an interface to Java, allowing it to proc. math. data(functions/equations). A compl. standalone system utilizing the FrAid prog. lang. is available(no need to be Java programmer to use it!). Use instead of Matlab. High res. graphics

Fresse! is the Feature Rich Emacs Software Solution for Entertainment! It will manage everything that has to do with your personal entertainment.

Hildegard is a music theory engine that will analyze music based on various theoretical systems. Users can stick to common theoretical systems or write their own with an extension language.

The LibAudioStream project is a framework to manipulate audio ressources through the concept of streams. Using this abstraction, different applications like audio players or offline processing tools can be developed.

OpenMusic is an object-oriented visual programming environment based on CommonLisp/CLOS. It provides libraries and editors that make it a powerful environment for music composition. It can also be used for teaching functional and object programming. THE OM 5.2 RELEASE HOSTED ON SOURCEFORGE IS NOT MAINTAINED ANYMORE. IT IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR IT INCLUDES PRELIMINARY ATTEMPTS AT PORTING OM TO LINUX PLATFORMS, WHICH WE BELIEVE COULD STILL BE USEFUL FOR FUTURE PORTS AND DEVELOPMENTS. See the recent OM 6 developments and release at http://repmus.ircam.fr/openmusic/

[ShortTalk influenced more current approaches to programming by voice, see Tavis Rudd or Utter Commands. It doesn't work anymore, with Jaspan's vr-mode not functioning with NaturallySpeaking 13. /NK 2014] ShortTalk aspires to be a perfect and universal spoken language for editing and other intensive computer-mediated tasks. EmacsListen, the GNU Emacs code base in this project, implements ShortTalk and addresses key usability issues in dictation systems.

VoiceCode is an Open Source initiative started by the National Research Council of Canada, to develop a programming by voice toolbox. The aim of the project is to make programming through voice input as easy and productive as with mouse and keyboard. For install, Use subversion, as described in this page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/voicecode/index.php?title=VCode_1_Doc/InstallationManual.

compo is a musical composition system in the form of a computer language derived from Common Lisp. compo est un systčme de composition musicale se présentant sous la forme d'un language informatique dérivé de Common Lisp.

Emacs Mode for playing mp3 (and others music files formats) Include winamp compatible playlist edition mode, id3 tag edition mode, volume control
