Open Source C Sound Synthesis Software

A programmable audio generator intended as an aural aid to meditation, implementing the binaural beat principle as described in Gerald Oster's Oct. 1973 Scientific American article "Auditory Beats in the Brain."

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

FluidSynth is a real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications and has reached widespread distribution. FluidSynth itself does not have a graphical user interface, but due to its powerful API several applications utilize it and it has even found its way onto embedded systems and is used in some mobile apps.

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.

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.

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.

Bristol is synth emulation package for a diverse range of vintage synthesisers, electric pianos and organs. The application consists of a multithreaded audio synthesizer and a user interface called brighton.

The No Budget Orchestra Plugins are a collection of virtual (software) musical instruments. comprising a full, classical orchestra There are flute, piccolo, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, contrabass, trumpet, trombone, tuba, french horn, and various percussion sections. The various sections include articulations. For example, the violin section can play legato, pizzicato, staccato, and tremulo. There are subgroups as well, for example Violins I and II. The plugins are in LV2 (Linux) format for use in Ardour, Muse, QTractoor, etc. They are available in 2 formats; a collection of LV2 plugins, and a collection of linux executables. The plugins can be loaded into a host program such as Ardour, Muse, QTractor, etc. The executables are standalone versions that contain both the samples, and the engine that plays them.

A cross-platform patch editor for the E-MU Proteus 2000 sample-based synthesizer family. prodatum is free software.

Nyquist is a language for sound synthesis and music composition. It is implemented in C and C++ and runs on Win32, OSX, and Linux. Nyquist combines a powerful functional programming style with efficient signal-processing primitives. Nyquist is also embedded as a scripting language in Audacity.

eChanter is an Open Source electronic bagpipe project, based on the Arduino platform, using capacitive touch sensors, with polyphonic wavetable synthesis PCM audio at 8KHz. See Files for the development version, eChanter v3.0.

SPTK is a suite of speech signal processing tools for UNIX environments, e.g., LPC analysis, PARCOR analysis, LSP analysis, PARCOR synthesis filter, LSP synthesis filter, vector quantization techniques, and other extended versions of them.

Snd is a sound editor.

DSSI is an audio plugin API for software instruments (soft synths) and effects. It is based on the LADSPA plugin API, the ALSA sequencer event types, and OSC (Open Sound Control) communications with custom GUIs.

A Sequenced Binaural Wave Generator for Linux+Windows. May be used to generate sounds that entrain the brain's waves to oscillate at selected frequencies to aid in relaxation, lucid dreaming, meditation, clear thought, out-of-body experiences + more

The Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph analyses a sound file into a spectrogram and is able to synthesise this spectrogram, or any other user-created image, back into a sound.

x0xb0x is an open source 'acid' bassline synthesizer with sequencer

didgmo is a software for DIDGeridoo sound MOdeling. didgmo is capable of predicting the sound characteristica of a didgeridoo by providing its inner geometry. didgmo uses the method of acoustic transmission line modeling.

Various VST plugins ported form available open-source DSP effects and synths. VSTGUI will be used for the graphical interface.

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

SPU2ghz is a SPU2 plugin for the PlayStation 2 emulator PCSX2 (and other that use the same plugin API). cdvdGigaherz is a CD/DVD plugin using win32 IoCtl calls to access real drives.

Tiny player (up to 3 kb) for Jescola's Buzz. Includes Klatt speech synth (experimental). First release in 64k intro Yo-08 which took first place on Paradox 2002. C-version was created to be ported to assembler.

drumsynth is a non-realtime synthesizer for electronic drum sounds and sound effects, available as closed-source Windows freeware for many years from mda-vst.com it is now open-source to allow ports to other operating systems.

CWStudio is a portable almost library-independent and computationally efficient generator of CW signals for telegraphy training purposes. It can create a sound with maximum similarity to the real air, simulating many difficulties.

Advanced GTK+ Sequencer is intended to use for music composition. It features a piano roll, as well a synth, matrix editor, drum machine, soundfont2 player, mixer and an output panel. It's designed to be highly configurable, you may add effects to its effect chain, add or remove audio channels/pads. You may set up a fully functional network of engines, therefore exists a link editor for linking audio lines. In conjunction with ags you need a realtime kernel and alsa support. `ags` uses conditional locks to keep several threads in sync that's why you need at least a preemptible kernel.
