Open Source Python Sound Synthesis Software for Linux

Convert text to International Morse Code. Input is ASCII text. Output can be: - . -..- - on the console, raw 8bit PCM suitable for piping to /dev/audio, .wav files or even (mp3|ogg). Good for headlines on your MP3 player or code practice.

A SoundFont editor and other software for editing, managing and sharing sample based MIDI instrument files for computer music composition. Support for other formats is planned.

A C++ library and Python module for audio synthesis featuring dynamic digital filters. Nsound lets you easily shape waveforms and write to disk or plot them. Nsound aims to be as powerful as Csound but easy to use.

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.

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.

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.

Software for live sampling and audio processing. Algorithmic composition and improvised audio manipulation in real time. The audio engine uses Csound, and the composition logic is built with Python.

JackFX is a python module for midi control and realtime audio effects processing built using the Jack Audio Connection Kit. Effects are stackable, and can be chained in any configuration with only a few lines of python code.

Lightform is a complete music composition application in pre-alpha, written in python with a C backend. It's designed to have the capabilities of programs like Reaktor and Sonar, but with a simplified user interface using a python gui lib called tGUI.

Moodtrack contains Python classes for music-emotion analysis and assembly, enabling users to build soundtracks based on emotion and timing. USERS: Music Supervisors/Composers/Producers, Game Audio Developers, Content Providers. FILM DEMO: moodtrack.tv

Nusq is a cross-platform modular music sequencer, intended to be sufficiently expandable, flexible and configurable for the technically-minded musician while still being accessible to the rest of us.

Octavia is a music description language that reads a text file and converts to midi. It also provides the full power of python interpreter.

A Python/GTK simulation of the Theremin musical instrument.

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.

STASS stands for Sound Treatment, Analysis and Synthesis Software. It will provide ingeneers and searchers easy-to-use as well as performant tools for sound analysis (spectro, sona and so on), treatment (filters, noise-gate) and synthesis (scepstrum).

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".

Simpl is an open source library for sinusoidal modelling written in the Python programming language and making use of SciPy.

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.

Steel is a cross-platform package for using common text-to-speech (speech synthesis) engines in Python. Steel currently supports the following TTS software: - Microsoft Speech API 5 (SAPI5) - eSpeak - NS Speech Synthesis - FreeTTS Documentation: http://sourceforge.net/p/steeltts/wiki/ Bug Tracker: http://sourceforge.net/p/steeltts/tickets/ If you are interested in contributing to the Steel TTS codebase, or would like to make a feature-request, please contact the lead developer, Jasper Danielson, at jrd4@rice.edu.

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 graphical interface for software synthesizer or sound-samplers. Currently supported is fluidsynth. Can be used to play SoundFonts, SF2 and MIDI files. Required is an installation of fluidsynth. Written in Python / Qt4.

Grace is another csound frontend with standard .csd files as it's main building block. It's main focus is controlling csound in real time from midi, both live from keyboards, in a midi enabled sequencer environment.

Replacement for the Java Media Framework (JMF), allowing you to transport not only audio and video. In extention a modular software synthesizer designer/sequencer sharing local hardware over the internet.

SuperCollider Code for Livecoding Experimental Sound

oddioToolz (oz) aims to be a modular audio IDE geared toward realtime audio synthesis, manipulation, quantization, sequencing, interaction and the exchange of sound/modules/meta over computer and neural networks worldwide. oz needs help e-mail a dev!
