Open Source Python Music Composition Software

A free sound editor, DarkAudacity is the well known Audacity sound editor now with a darker more modern theme - and a few small tweaks. The audio engine underneath is the same audio engine. The same code powers it. Like Audacity it is completely free. It's not a cut down trial evaluation version. You can record and play sounds, edit sounds, apply audio effects and save what you create for ringtones, podcasts and more. DarkAudacity is Open Source, free for you to download and use on your PC. Audacity and DarkAudacity come from a community effort. Many people have contributed to the audio code. Because they are Open Source, anyone is allowed to read and modify the source code. DarkAudacity is a variation on the Audacity software, made possible because Audacity is Open Source.

MIDI Master Clock: Simple MIDI Song and Control Change Manager MIDI Master Clock is a lightweight, command-line utility for effortless MIDI device control and synchronization. It lets you define songs or cues in a simple text file, each with its own BPM and custom MIDI Control Change (CC) messages. What It Does: Reads Song Data: Configure song titles, BPM, and MIDI CCs (e.g., CC_ch0 10) in an easy-to-read data.txt file. Interactive Control: Select songs from a list, advance through your set, or quit, all from the command line. Automated MIDI Commands: When you select a song, MIDI Master Clock automatically sends: - All specified MIDI Control Changes (CCs), ideal for triggering effects or states. - MIDI Sync Commands (Stop, Song Position Pointer (0), Start) to prepare your devices. - Accurate MIDI Clock signals based on the song's BPM, keeping your gear perfectly in sync.

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.

Convert images to chords.

Design wild harmonies that go beyond Schoenberg serialism and classic jazz harmony, with this program to generate random chords and matching scales.

SuperBoucle is a loop based software fully controllable with any midi device. SuperBoucle is also synced with jack transport. You can use it on live performance or for composition. SuperBoucle is composed of a matrix of sample controllable with external midi device like pad. SuperBoucle will send back information to midi device (light up led). Sample will always start and stop on a beat or group of beats. You can adjust duration of sample (loop period) in beat and offset in beat. But you can also adjust sample offset in raw frame count negative or positive. Which mean sample can start before next beat (useful for reversed sample). You can record loop of any size, adjust BPM, reverse, normalize samples, ... Typical usage : * You need to control jack transport with external midi device and want a button to jump to a specified location in song. * You have some instruments patterns but you have no idea of song structure. * You make live performance with pre-recorded instruments.

Color to Chord The program will convert colors to chords, to inspire music composition.

The traditional Siamese music transcription is either in form of sequence of Thai alphabets or numbers. This program read the music transcription from text files and play the transcribed music. This could aid the composers to compose new song easier.

A C++ library and Python module for audio synthesis featuring dynamic digital filters. Nsound lets you easily shape waveforms and write to disk or plot them. Nsound aims to be as powerful as Csound but easy to use.

Strum aims to improve your musical skills on stringed instruments; learning scales, chord construction, and how to find them on various instruments with many tunings.

Convert words and sentences to 5 note chords you can use to inspire music creation. Have fun turning your name, your city name, your friends' names, your team's name, your pet's name into wild and original harmonies that go beyond serialism and classic jazz.

SuperCollider Code for Livecoding Experimental Sound

A Python library to create score files for CSound. It differs from other libraries that generate CSound scores, since a score is represented by a list that can contain different types of objects. It creates patterns in a flexible and compact way.

Let's Make Some F*&^in' Music is a USB-based live Linux distro based on Slackware with the intent of providing a comprehensive music recording and production studio using only FOSS.

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.

Ouroborus is an artificial life framework for mobile agents on a background of cellular automata. It can be used to teach and research topics such as population genetics, ecology and evolution. The demo includes a curses view and live Csound audio.

A sequencer specialized for extended just intonation tuning systems. Rationale does not use scales, only collections of notes related by frequency ratio, infinitely transposable. Any rational frequency ratio can be an interval, but no tempered tunings.

This is Roundware V1. For V2, please see GitHub repository: https://github.com/hburgund/roundware-server Roundware is a client/server pair for creating participatory location-sensitive audio experiences. It was initially developed for the sound art installation ROUND, by Halsey Burgund, exhibited at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Development for version 2 has been handled privately for a variety of reasons, but will be released soon! Please contact us if you need code sooner.

Toadflax is a graphical tool for displaying and editing/manipulating tunes in abc notation. It exists in two forms, Toadflax built using GTK and py_toadflax built using tkinter, the python window toolkit. It allows the user to load in abc music notation files and work on each one independently. The music is displayed on-screen, without needing to use a PostScript interpreter, making it a lightweight notation viewer. The Toadflax program uses a music renderer based on yaps, while py_toadflax uses the music renderer from the abcCairo project based on abcm2ps. The source can be hand-edited or transformed in various ways using an adaptation of the abc2abc program. Perhaps the most useful feature that this provides is transposition with the ability to instantly see the effect of a transposition.
