Open Source Windows Sound Synthesis Software

Hydrogen is an advanced drum machine for GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. It's main goal is to bring professional yet simple and intuitive pattern-based drum programming.

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/

A real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications. It can be used for live audio synthesis of MIDI events or for rendering MIDI files to disk, using SoundFont instruments. It can also be embedded in other applications. This is not a application with a graphical user interface, however there are several GUI applications which utilize FluidSynth.

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.

The Pure Data (short Pd) project on SourceForge unifies the extensions (or externals) written for the Pure Data Graphical Computer Music System written by Miller Puckette with contributions from many others.

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.

As a library of classes for generating and manipulating music and sound, jMusic provides a solid framework for computer assisted composition in Java. jMusic has a music data structure based upon note/sound events and methods for modifying and structu

TiMidity++ Windows Synthesizer (TWSYNTH) extended TiMidity++ to read midi inputs. CAUTION !! TWSYNTH proj. is obsolute. TWSYNTH sources are sucessfully included Timidity++. see http://sourceforge.net/projects/timidity

jVSTwRapper allows you to develop VST (2.4), Audio Unit (AU) and LADSPA compatible audio plugins and virtual instruments plus user interfaces (Swing) with the Java programming language on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. 5 demo plugins (+src) are included.

Juno 6 is an VST based virtual Analogue Synthesizer for Windows written in C++, that emulates the sound technics of the original Roland Juno 6/60 Synthesizer. the project itself is based on the ultramaster juno 6 linux sources

OSW is a graphical programming environment for real-time music and audio applications. Users connect objects called transforms to form programs called patches. OSW currently runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and SGI platforms.

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.

".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.)

GENPO is the GENeral Purpose Organ, it replicates the main features of many types of organ. GENPO reads a description of an organ to match a soundfont & presents a suitable user interface for playing that organ, i.e. a console of stops,couplers,pistons.

C++ MIDI class library based on DirectMusic/DirectX

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

jvaptools provides a library and examples for rapid vst-audio-plugin development with Java, based on Steinbergs VST interface and the sourceforge project jVSTwRapper.

A musician's live performance VST host. This software is intended to help integrate VST technology into your live performances on stage, whether it'd be using virtual instruments or effects, or to automate audio routing.

MC (Music Composer) will be a full digital home studio. It has a step-sequencer/piano roll, sampler, sound/midi recording/editing, full automation and full VST, LADSPA, JACK, REWIRE support (client+host). Includes top-notch VST plugins (the DGSS, Rev3D..)

The fork of the Munt project is closed.

musicomp is a program which most important element is an evolutionary algorithm which uses data mining methods as a fitness function to generate monophone melodies.

Musica is a sound and music synthesis package for Mathematica, providing advanced facilities for composition, analysis and playback.

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.

SoftMusic is a program that creates music based on a random generator and various restrictive algorithms. It can be used for quickly creating ambient musical backdrops, cyclic arpeggios that can be used in techno songs, or just plain strange music.

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