Kangas Sound Editor
Synthesizer, mixing, sound effects, music composition and production.
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. -

LibBWEntrainment
Extensible Brainwave Entrainment library for Java
LibBWEntrainment is a Free and Open Source Brainwave Entrainment Library for Java. *** It is not a standalone application. *** The library is very flexible, allowing different types of renderers (isochronic, binaural, ...) as well as multiple output devices (speakers, file, socket or even screen), and it can easily be ported to other languages because it doesn't use any proprietary Java feature. Current features: -Javadoc and examples -Extremely lightweight, yet flexible -Easy to use -XML Presets -Multiple Entrainment Tracks -Looping -Isochronic rendering -Output to PC and Android -Output to MP3/FLAC/Wav file -Output to raw Stream Compared to my old LibBinaural, this is twice as fast and much more flexible. A project using this library is available here https://sourceforge.net/projects/isochronic/. -
