Open Source Perl Sound Synthesis Software for Linux

eGuideDog project develops free software for the blind. Currently, we focus on WebSpeech, Ekho TTS and WebAnywhere.

".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.)

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.

A realtime software sampler. Connect a MIDI keyboard to your Linux box and let there be rock! /dev/midi and /dev/dsp is all you need. E-piano patches from the famous (or infamous?) DX7 are available.
