Open Source Linux Sound Synthesis Software

This kangaroo-themed program allows the user to create their own music and sound effects, effectively from scratch. There are two variants of the program: Kangas Sound Editor which requires MySQL for its database, and Kangas Sound Editor QI which does not (it uses an internal database - HSQLDB - instead). Kangas Sound Editor (QI) uses a system of boxes or cells, which are placed by the user onto a timeline using drag-and-drop, and which represent entities such as chords, repetition, and individual sounds or notes. The program's database allows the user to create and store harmonics, used for constructing melodic instruments, and anti-harmonics, which are used for constructing percussion instruments. Users can collaborate with and build on the work of others via an XML import/export facility.

The CLUNK C++ library provides support for real-time 3D(binaural) sound generation. It puts virtually no limitations on the developer; people who have experienced working with other solutions (such as SDL_Mixer or Creative OpenAL) will respect this advan

Glame is targeted to be the GIMP for audio processing. Glame supports non destructive multitrack editing, recording and mixing; realtime effects using native or LADSPA plugins; OSS, ALSA or SGI audio and WAV, Mp3 and Ogg file formats.

Cross-platform audio engine that implements features necessary for basic audio processing such as file loading/saving, audio mixing, sample/bit rate conversion, audio mixing/chaining, effects processing and some simple DSP operations. Still under develo

A Java audio synthesis system that allows users to design and interconnect discrete components into flexible and modular sound production systems.

LoopyMix - Mix Composer - Loop design - Loop BPM matching - Arranger - Track mixing and effects - Additionnal tools for other operations (FX, resize, cut). Easy to compile and install. Default sound server, no audio libs, no multi-channel card.

MC (Music Composer) will be a full digital home studio. It has a step-sequencer/piano roll, sampler, sound/midi recording/editing, full automation and full VST, LADSPA, JACK, REWIRE support (client+host). Includes top-notch VST plugins (the DGSS, Rev3D..)

An audio composition and rendering library. Remix provides heirarchical, multi-layered multi-track sequencing, supports many sound file formats and LADSPA plugin effects, with built-in envelopes and fast caching.

Sound Orgy is a suite of command line tools for the purpose of sound production and modification as well other misc sound related functons. Sound Orgy consists of components which use command line piping to connect to each other much like patch cords.

µ/mjoo is a new kind of live composition software for the Linux operating system, introducing radical new user interface concepts.
