Open Source Sound Synthesis Software - Page 4

OpenST is an open interface for soft-synths and audio-effects. It has a lightweight C interface for maximum portability across multiple platforms and programming languages. Intended audience: soft-synth and audio-host developers.

This project has been MOVED to https://github.com/MachinePublishers/ORiVINYLsynth Waveform editor, oscillator, coder, tinnitus & Easter Egg piano roll

A software music synthesizer inspired by 8-bit Atari Softsynth. It can import, edit and play Atari Softsynth tunes on PC. You can write your music in BASIC-like language and create your instruments with graphic editor. Now available for Raspberry Pi 2

A modular audio programming language, designed to write applications quickly. Its main goal is real time audio processing, but it should be used for any kind of development.

A buzz-like modular synthetic music software

RockIt is a complete music composition studio featuring software based synthesis of several instruments, multiple audio effects and export to standard audio file formats.

Rubato Composer is a music software based on the concepts and models of mathematical music theory and equally suited for music composition, analysis, performance, and logical or geometric operations.

SINE Isochronic Entrainer is a Free and Open Source Brainwave Entrainment application for PC, Android, and HTML5. Brainwave Entrainment is the practice of using sounds, visual stimuli or even electromagnetic fields to alter the frequency of brainwaves. It can be done for several reasons: people with insomnia can take great benefit from it, but it can also be used to improve your attention span, and even simulate the effects of some recreational drugs. The effect is not permanent, and fades away in less than a minute after the stimuli is removed. Isochronic tones are a commonly used aural stimuli for Brainwave Entrainment, consisting of short pulses of a sine wave, varying in frequency. Unlike binaural beats, isochronic tones can be played on speakers. The Player supports touchscreens and high resolution displays. Includes a graphical editor for making presets, with a manual.

Fractal/Scripting VSTi synthesizer, written on Java with jVSTwrapper

Modular synthesizer/effect designer and interpreter. Similar to Max/MSP and Reaktor.

The project is about porting selected (open source) music-, and audio software to latest compilers and platforms...

A compiler library for a language integrating all that is needed for completely defining whole sound/music compilations. From very basic stuff as defining oscillators etc in all their parameters up to note events and more.

Speect is a multilingual TTS system. It offers a full text-to-speech system with various API's, as well as an environment for research and development of TTS systems and voices. It is written in ANSI C and uses a plug-in mechanism for extensions. Speect also includes an extensive set of Python bindings for quick implementation of new ideas, these bindings are derived from SWIG interface files and can easily be extended for other languages supported by SWIG. Speect is free and open source software. As a collection it is distributed under a MIT license.

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.

SynthLab is a sound synthesis witch provide several modules you can plug to each over via a graphical interface such as a VCO, a VCF, a VCA, an envelop, ... You can use a direct sound output or save to a file

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.

TUGs (Teaching Unit GeneratorS) is a collection of unit generators that may be useful for teaching real-time digital sound synthesis and processing in C.

Virtual Analog Synthetizer, with a modular architecture and an user friendly approach.

Nowadays the idea of a music of the spheres, or a cosmic music that descends from the planets seems more like poetic philosophy than anything scientific. However, when the scientist Kepler discovered special principles about planetary motion, he also reconsidered the music. Apparently his observance of a harmonic law of planetary motion was reason for him to propose a computable system of pitch and harmony deriving from angular velocity. The purpose of the programming project is as a tool to examine his system. With Java 2, it provides an open-source solution for listening to harmonies so generated by planetary motion. This program can run on any computer provided with a Java Virtual Machine (Rev 1.5 or greater). JAVA 2, system independent. Purpose:to encourage research in harmony in astronomy, math and music. Obstacles:math, DSP/synthesis, networks, astronomy. Features:audio, database, graphics Technologies: Telnet, .WAV audio, oggvorbis, other audio

The Python Sound Project aims to develop a productive community around Python, Csound and other synthesis engines as tools for algorithmic composition of electroacoustic music.

A Bachelor project in C++/wxWidgets. A Visual editor (buzz-clone) for Csound

A binary waveform synthesizer derived from and based upon Timewave Zero theory by Terence McKenna. His theory proposes that the structure of time is a complex wave with a scalar potential, and the King Wen sequence of the I Ching is the 64 hexagram code from which the waveform of time is derived; that the King Wen sequence maps the linear progression of the human states of mind, which ultimately substantiates this waveform. This theory is the basis for the well-known novelty computer program he and others had developed. This program synth was made in supercollider.

Environment for the algorithmic and mobile composition with concrete noises and sounds.
