Open Source Mac Sound/Audio Software

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.

howler.js is an audio library for the modern web. It defaults to Web Audio API and falls back to HTML5 Audio. This makes working with audio in JavaScript easy and reliable across all platforms. Additional information, live demos and a user showcase are available at howlerjs.com. Single API for all audio needs, defaults to Web Audio API and falls back to HTML5 Audio, handles edge cases and bugs across environments, supports all codecs for full cross-browser support, automatic caching for improved performance, control sounds individually, in groups or globally, playback of multiple sounds at once. Easy sound sprite definition and playback, full control for fading, rate, seek, volume, etc. Easily add 3D spatial sound or stereo panning, modular - use what you want and easy to extend. No outside dependencies, just pure JavaScript. As light as 7kb gzipped.

This project develops an open source editor for Clavia Nord Modular and Micro Modular synthesizers.

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.

On Linux and Windows

The Sound Object Library has now been retired. Files are still kept here for documentation reasons.

TappedAudio is an audio library with an emphasis on the programming interface -- agnostic to the backend, written in highly-encapsulated C++ and using SWIG to present a unified API for C++, Python, Ruby, etc., regardless of the underlying audio platform.

MARF is a general cross-platform framework with a collection of algorithms for audio (voice, speech, and sound) and natural language text analysis and recognition along with sample applications (identification, NLP, etc.) of its use, implemented in Java.

InproTK is an Incremental Spoken Dialogue Processing Toolkit, that is, a toolkit to help you build dialogue systems that listen and talk incrementally, allowing for advanced interactional behaviour. Please see our Wiki for more information: http://sourceforge.net/p/inprotk/wiki/

VSTGUI is a cross platform C++ library mainly for developing user interfaces for audio plug-ins (VST, AudioUnit, AAX, RTAS, etc).

The GUIDOLib provides a powerful engine for the graphic rendering of music scores, based on the Guido Music Notation format. It supports Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Android and iOS operating systems. A Java JNI interface is available as well as a Javascript version of the library. A Web API has also been designed, allowing to deploy the engine as a Web service.

A realistic real-time sound simulation usable in games and other interactive applications. It will include effects like echo's, HRTF's, Doppler, sound occlusion and other effect. Offered as an easy high level library that can be used from C and C++.

CAMEL (Content-based Audio and Music Extraction Library) is an easy-to-use C++ framework developed for content-based audio and music analysis. The framework provides a set of tools for easy Segmentation, Feature Extraction, Domain Extraction, etc.

An Objective-C framework for developing AudioUnits. This framework (dynamic library bundle) can be used by Cocoa/Objective-C developers as an alternative to Apple's C++ based CoreAudio SDK.

The DataTime Process Framework is intended to support the processing of time-based data in a modular, concurrent, distributed and extensible manner. C++, using YARP, ACE, Qt and MUSCLE on Linux, OSX, Windows and Solaris.

EAT is a new set of accessible abstractions for composition and diffusion that are currently under development in Pure Data Extended.

An iOS and macOS audio visualization framework built upon Core Audio useful for anyone doing real-time, low-latency audio processing and visualizations. I've designed six audio components and two interface components to allow you to immediately get your hands dirty recording, playing, and visualizing audio data. These components simply plug into each other and build on top of the high-performance, low-latency AudioUnits API and give you an easy to use API written in Objective-C instead of pure C. EZAudio was designed to work transparently across all iOS and OSX devices. This means one universal API whether you're building for Mac or iOS. For instance, under the hood an EZAudioPlot knows that it will subclass a UIView for iOS or an NSView for OSX and the EZMicrophone knows to build on top of the RemoteIO AudioUnit for iOS, but defaults to the system defaults for input and output for OSX.

Enthusiasm is a software framework to be implemented in support to the creation and production of drama-based information presentations. The framework consists of off-line editors and real-time applications.

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.

JUCE is a C++ toolkit for building cross-platform applications on PC/Mac/Linux/iOS/Android. Particularly good for complex, customised GUIs and audio/midi processing, it also includes a vast range of classes to help with all your day-to-day programming tasks.

The Javascript Sound Kit is a wrapper around the ActionScript Sound Object, it makes it possible to use the Sound Object in Javascript the same way you do it in ActionScript.
