Open Source ChromeOS Sound Synthesis Software

A multi-platform software synthesiser emulating (somewhat inaccurately) pre-GM MIDI devices such as the Roland MT-32, CM-32L, CM-64 and LAPC-I. In no way endorsed by or affiliated with Roland Corp. Source hosted at: http://www.github.com/munt/

Psycle is a Music tracker (like FastTracker 2 or Impulse Tracker) combined with plugin modularity. It supports its own plugin API, the VST2 plugin standard, and a tracker style sampler playback.

Frinika is a free, complete music workstation software for Linux, Windows, Mac OSX and other operating systems running Java. It features sequencer, soft-synths, realtime effects and audio recording.

RasmusDSP is an embeddable Audio/MIDI processor. It contains various filters and generators (including SoundFont 2.0 compatible synthesizer). Has a script interpreter which is used to describe instruments, route Audio/MIDI signal between processor units.

".ECW file" or "waveset" refers to a file with an extension of ".ECW" which stores articulation and sample data used by the MIDI synthesizer of sound cards equipped with an ES1370, ES1371, or ES1373 chip. These sound cards include the Ensoniq AudioPCI, the Sound Blaster! AudioPCI, the Sound Blaster! PCI64, the Sound Blaster! PCI128, and the Sound Blaster Live!. This project is a Perl script which can unpack these files into a .WAV sample, and a corresponding .SFZ file (an open format used by various sample engines to describe sample playback.)

BeatBox is a Java application in which users use a 16x16 grid of checkboxes to create a beat with various percussion instruments. Beats can be saved and loaded easily. The entire application is as intuitive and user-friendly as possible.

BUZZle means Buzz Logic Enhanced and has neither to to with Buzzle.com or the Buzzle-Game. BUZZle is a free (non-commercial) modular music composing and sequencing tool. It is a completely re-written version of the famous Jeskola Buzz.

Cabel is a graphical user interface for building Csound instruments by patching modules similar to modular synthesizers. Cabel modules are defined in XML files, so anybody with some Csound knowledge can write his/her own modules and play with them.

CodeSounding is a sonification framework which makes possible to hear how any existing Java program "sounds like", by assigning instruments and pitches to code statements (if, for, etc) so that the flowing of execution is played as a flow of music.

The Freebase MIDI Sequencer is a cross platform MIDI sequencer written in Java.

Groovy wrapper around the famous JFugue software. Also provides improved microtone support

jvaptools provides a library and examples for rapid vst-audio-plugin development with Java, based on Steinbergs VST interface and the sourceforge project jVSTwRapper.

musicomp is a program which most important element is an evolutionary algorithm which uses data mining methods as a fitness function to generate monophone melodies.

Musica is a sound and music synthesis package for Mathematica, providing advanced facilities for composition, analysis and playback.

Schnolgo is a multi-format musical composition package written in Python. It is built with an extremely flexible system for representing rhythmic structures and is intended to allow for songs to be written so as to make use of "guided improvisation".

StickMusic is a program to control digital sound synthesis and processing using joysticks. It has a GUI to set up patches.

The concept of Computer Aided Music Composition emerged as a natural sequel to the music hardware/software revolution dating back to early 50s. STOCASTICVS aims to grow into the best CAMC software yet, truly unleashing individual’s creative potential.

Tapis Bourgeois is a batch music generator for contrepoint and tonal music, written in PERL. It outputs a partially random midifile, constrained by the mesure-wise configuration file.

Evomusic deals with automatic composition of music (midi-files) using evolutionary algorithms. Currently we are testing multiple approaches for doing this successfully, especially neural networks and/or algorithms based on simple music theory.
