Open Source Linux MIDI Software

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.

Tone.js is an open source Web Audio framework for creating interactive music in the browser. It has advanced scheduling capabilities, synths, effects and more. Tone.js is built to be useful and familiar to both musicians and audio programmers. It has common DAW (digital audio workstation) features for those looking to schedule events and tinker with pre-built synths and effects. There’s also a great selection of high-performance building blocks for signal-processing programmers familiar with languages like Max/MSP. With Tone.js they can create their own synthesizers, effects, and complex control signals.

SoundHelix is a free versatile Java framework for algorithmic random music composition. SoundHelix can generate random songs, play them (for example, on any number of MIDI devices or MIDI-capable software synthesizers) and is highly customizable using XML configuration. SoundHelix also allows writing the generated music as MIDI files. SoundHelix produces music that is actually enjoyable to listen to.

Mutabor is a Program that allows performing and composing microtonal music using a normal MIDI keybord. But it's powerful description language is intended to allow permanent retunings and tuning logics in to describ, what's actually goes on.

Drumstick is a tool to play music. This is a set of C++ MIDI libraries using Qt5 objects, idioms and style. It contains a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface; ALSA sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A complementary library provides classes for SMF (Standard MIDI files: .MID/.KAR), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats processing. A multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library is also provided.

libTiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter library that uses Gravis Ultrasound-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data from General MIDI files. This library based on the TiMidity decoder from SDL_sound library.

Strasheela is a constraint-based music composition system. The user defines music theories by sets of compositional rules and the system creates music which complies with these theories. User-interface is the programming language Oz.

You can use your ION Drum Rocker as midi device in your PC with this program. Also you can edit midi notes associated with drum kicks. You need install .NET Framework 2 and MidiYoke for use.

This library allows you to easily send and receive MIDI messages on the Arduino serial port. The purpose of this library is not to make a big MIDI controller or synth out of an Arduino board, but to help you do it, the application remains yours. /!\ PLEASE NOTE /!\ Project is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library This SourceForge project is deprecated.

FrAid(FRactal AID) is an interface to Java, allowing it to proc. math. data(functions/equations). A compl. standalone system utilizing the FrAid prog. lang. is available(no need to be Java programmer to use it!). Use instead of Matlab. High res. graphics

fpALSA is a Free Pascal translation of the ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) library headers. It allows the use of the ALSA C library from Pascal programs, using Free Pascal (http://www.freepascal.org/).

Doors is groupware for electronic musicians. It aims to be an extensible, multi-user, musical performance framework which unifies heterogeneous, distributed multimedia hardware. The framework is based on CORBA, XML, NTP and URL technologies.

This is a game engine that helps game developer to produce game easier.It is writen in C++ and all of the functions are fixed into classes as the engine is designed in the method of Object-Oriented.

LilyPondBeans is a GUI front-end for the LilyPond (www.lilypond.org) music notation software.

This is a small program that lets you set MIDI controller values using sliders and buttons in a GTK+ window. The GUI is an XML-based Glade file which can be replaced without rebuilding the program, so you can build your own controller GUIs in Glade.

MidiWriter is a framework for creating and composing music based on algorithms. The project includes already several examples using these technics. The output of MidiWriter is in the midi-format.

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.

A program that can learn from midi examples, and create new music from that.

The Octopus Music Library is a Java API designed to help developers and composers to deal with musical performance elements in a high level programming environment.

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.

RtMidiRouter is a small but powerful command line tool which allows you to route, manipulate and create MIDI messages. For reliable realtime performance RtMidiRouter is based on RtMidi. It is controllable via command line and network (OSC).

SmallSynth is a Java Library to make easy and fast routines with MIDI.

Thank you for your interest in Speedy Composer. Speedy Composer is an automated application for composing melodies for Speedy Net members. We recently made changes to the source code of Speedy Net, and converted it into the Python language and Django framework. Since Speedy Composer was originally written in PHP, it is not adapted to work with Speedy Net in its current form. So unfortunately we were forced to temporarily close the app Speedy Composer. But don't worry, we kept backups of all the tunes composed by Speedy Composer, and when the website is reopened we will upload them to the new site. Speedy Composer and Speedy Net are open source applications, free software. We are currently looking for volunteers to help us convert Speedy Composer to Python. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me by email. Thank you and good luck, Uri Rodberg Founder and Director of Speedy Net and Speedy Composer, Speedy Paz Technologies Ltd. uri@speedy.net
