BASH!KARAOKE IS A FREE KARAOKE PLAYER FOR LINUX AND BSD Supported formats: *.mid, *.kar, *.wrd , *.mod, *.rcp, *.r36, *.g18, *.g36 TRANSLATION (HELP US!): English and Italian in EasyBashGUI mode, English only (for now... GTK mode) .. The goal is a karaoke player that: Is installable with very few dependencies; Is ready to use after dependency check, -no configuration-; Support SoundFonts to improve sound quality; Works with a simple song database; Can trim levels (pitch, speed, volume) and mute channels; and soon, with a new GTK3 interface, with which you can sing in fullscreen! Moreover, usage of EasyBashGUI allows user to fit Bash!Karaoke look'n'feel to his taste,depending on wich Desktop Environment he uses or prefers( KDE, GNOME or other), through GtkDialog, KDialog, Zenity,or even bare (c)dialog.

CLIJACK is a command-line alternative to such programs as QjackCtl. CLIJACK allows one to launch the JACK audio server and make connections between jack-audio ports, jack-MIDI ports, and ALSA-MIDI ports. CLIJACK is written in pure Python.

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.

Fripp is a music composition environment that uses a spreadsheet metaphor for manipulating music with built-in and user-created functions. Supports MIDI playback and recording. Displays music in common notation. Written in Python.

Nautic Radio Broadcast Console is a darkice (shoutcast / icecast source client available at http://darkice.org/ ) frontend, that allows you to play jingles (audio samples), capture a webcam images to send to an FTP, chat with listeners (through an external webchat site) and monitor your audio and system (cpu, network) The program is developed, and used in production, for www.nauticradio.net / www.beatsnbreaks.nl and targeted at relatively old computers running linux. However it is not tested on many platforms, nor guaranteed to be stable. Minimum system requirements: CPU: 3 GHz pentium 4 or higher (preferably 2+ GHz dualcore), Memory: 1GB RAM or more, Diskspace: 10MB plus enough to record broadcasts in mp3.

Implementation of Yamaha's MIDI control protocol for their digital consoles.

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.

Pymprovisator is a program for jazz musicians. Jazz music is based on improvisation and this program is intended to help musicians to improvise. The user sets the song parameters and the program generates a MIDI file with an adequate accompaniment.

[This library has moved to: https://github.com/vishnubob/python-midi/] Read, write, process and build MIDI streams using a high level pythonic API. Support for the ALSA sequencer provides the ability to accurately transmit and receive MIDI data.

A MIDI library for Python, written to give platform independant MIDI support for Python developers.

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".

The MIDI Sight Reader Java Applet works again! To use it you should use Firefox with Java Applet Plug-in installed. Developed using Firefox 25.0.1 and Java 7, Update 51. So what is it? Well it scrolls random notes within a selected key, playing them aloud for audio confirmation, while you, the user, play the notes on your instrument. There is no MIDI interface, the name refers to MIDI because it uses the Java Midi API and organizes everything numerically, according to MIDI numbers. The application plays the notes aloud as they pass under the centerline of the application window. So you adjust the scrolling speed and time between new notes and then play each note before the application echos it back to you. It also scrolls guitar tablature, as can be seen in the video. The keyboard and guitar models are linked so that playing a note on the piano keyboard (clicking a key) causes the guitar neck to display all the locations of the same note on the guitar neck.

A Python Audio Beatslicer

Vriareon is a MIDI application that works with hardware synthesizers to expand their capabilities beyond those provided by the synthesizers' manufacturers. First goal is to implement multi point envelops like NI Absynth.

wtf2osc converts several protocols to OSC (Open Sound Control) and back again and though makes it possible to use them in software like pd, Max or SuperCollider. Currently it supports only DMX and HTTP, expect more to come.
