Open Source Sound Synthesis Software

A programmable audio generator intended as an aural aid to meditation, implementing the binaural beat principle as described in Gerald Oster's Oct. 1973 Scientific American article "Auditory Beats in the Brain."

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.

SPTK is a suite of speech signal processing tools for UNIX environments, e.g., LPC analysis, PARCOR analysis, LSP analysis, PARCOR synthesis filter, LSP synthesis filter, vector quantization techniques, and other extended versions of them.

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 Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph analyses a sound file into a spectrogram and is able to synthesise this spectrogram, or any other user-created image, back into a sound.

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

CWStudio is a portable almost library-independent and computationally efficient generator of CW signals for telegraphy training purposes. It can create a sound with maximum similarity to the real air, simulating many difficulties.

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.

Loris is a library for sound analysis, synthesis, and morphing, developed by Kelly Fitz and Lippold Haken at the CERL Sound Group. Loris includes a C++ class library, Python module, C-linkable interface, command line utilities, and documentation.

The Tibetan and Himalayan Library has several open-sourced tools for inputting, manipulating, translating, and transcribing Tibetan-language text, audio, and video. We aim to make using a computer easier for Himalayan peoples and scholars.

".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.)

Application which detects musical notes from the microphone. It allows listening to the microphone and play the detected notes to output (in midi). Multilanguage support. Zoom Dark mode option JDK-17 compatibility With v1.2 it includes a pitch shifter (making voice lower or sharper through a slider) There is a demo video which shows how it works (the demo video can be visited from Help menu of the application) You can also see the pitch-shifter demo version here: https://frojasg1.com:8443/resource_counter/resourceCounter?operation=countAndForward&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffrojasg1.com%2Fdemos%2Faplicaciones%2FInstrumentalMusic%2Fpitch.shifter.mp4%3Forigin%3Dsourceforge&origin=web

A program that generates music (WAV-like files) from a specification of tones in absolute frequencies, rather than the normal well-defined tones. The specification list all notes, their length, frequency and amplitude and the program generate a mix of all

Allegory is a tool for electronic music. It consists of a small library of Haskell definitions that can be used to create, explore, and refine developmental/variation relationships between diverse sound materials. Csound required as realisation engine.

The Analysis & Reconstruction Sound Engine analyses a sound file into a spectrogram and is able to synthesise this spectrogram, or any other user-created image, back into a sound.

AudiOpen is a framework and GUI for audio synthesis, with the goal of developing an environment where obtaining the waveform you want is very intuitive by taking a very systematic/mathematical approach to defining audio and supporting Python scripts.

Java based system for creating Bio-Musical Worlds. Investigating the use of AI (flocking,A-Life, Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks) and other bio-modelling techniques for the creation and evolution of musical landscapes.

"CAGE", the Computer Audio Garden in Eclipse, is to be an Eclipse-based, Java and XML workbench, for the computer music composer. It will use the Rich Client Platform to provide a basic backbone framework, enabling existing computer music tools to be p

Computer Musicians\' World is a music creator, modeller and manipulator program. With texture analysis you can represent the structure of music. A score editor, wave editor and a tracker also included as other types of music models.

Compresses music from 1/50th to 1/100th its original size by removing dissonant parts of sound and also optimizes it for lower speaker-stress, dynamic equalization (2-3 times less hearing stress at high volume), non-compression modes and much more.

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

Grain Painter turns a loaded or drawn image into a sound sample for playback or saving using a technique called granular synthesis. The tool can be used to produce unique and unusual synthesized sound samples.

HBX Binaural Player is free and open source brainwave entrainment application. It's made using libBinaural ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/libbinaural/ ); it's easy to use and it's entirely written in java for maximum portability.
