jMax is a visual programming environment for building interactive real-time musical and multimedia applications.

BeatBox is a Java application in which users use a 16x16 grid of checkboxes to create a beat with various percussion instruments. Beats can be saved and loaded easily. The entire application is as intuitive and user-friendly as possible.

Clavier virtuel et synthétiseur vocal pour les personnes ne pouvant plus parler et ayant du mal à utiliser leurs mains. Virtual keyboard and speech synthetiser for people with reduced mobility and unability to speak. In French and english.

Etheric Synthesizer (EtherSynth) is a theremin-like synthesizer application for Android platform, which allow you to play otherworldly melody by swiping finger on the screen. Though It does not closely imitate a real theremin as Etheric Synthesizer uses only one finger to play. It currently supports monophonic note playing with configurable waveform, frequency scale, control area, and control orientation. Basic recording function is also included (WAVE format). Etheric Synthesizer works on Android version 2.0 and above.

This kangaroo-themed program allows the user to create their own music and sound effects, effectively from scratch. There are two variants of the program: Kangas Sound Editor which requires MySQL for its database, and Kangas Sound Editor QI which does not (it uses an internal database - HSQLDB - instead). Kangas Sound Editor (QI) uses a system of boxes or cells, which are placed by the user onto a timeline using drag-and-drop, and which represent entities such as chords, repetition, and individual sounds or notes. The program's database allows the user to create and store harmonics, used for constructing melodic instruments, and anti-harmonics, which are used for constructing percussion instruments. Users can collaborate with and build on the work of others via an XML import/export facility.

A tiny web app enabling MIDI synthesis of tin whistle alphabetic tablature.

FluidGUI is a graphical user interface for FluidSynth (www.fluidsynth.org), an open-source software synthesizer based on the MIDI and Sound Font specifications. FluidGUI is developed in the Java programming language.

Application designed to help correct the ID3 tags in the user's music library. There are still bugs, but the app is mostly accurate. The GUI also helps by suggesting tags without actually changing the file itself. .jar is found in /dist folder

RasmusDSP is an embeddable Audio/MIDI processor. It contains various filters and generators (including SoundFont 2.0 compatible synthesizer). Has a script interpreter which is used to describe instruments, route Audio/MIDI signal between processor units.

Rubato Composer is a music software based on the concepts and models of mathematical music theory and equally suited for music composition, analysis, performance, and logical or geometric operations.

Nowadays the idea of a music of the spheres, or a cosmic music that descends from the planets seems more like poetic philosophy than anything scientific. However, when the scientist Kepler discovered special principles about planetary motion, he also reconsidered the music. Apparently his observance of a harmonic law of planetary motion was reason for him to propose a computable system of pitch and harmony deriving from angular velocity. The purpose of the programming project is as a tool to examine his system. With Java 2, it provides an open-source solution for listening to harmonies so generated by planetary motion. This program can run on any computer provided with a Java Virtual Machine (Rev 1.5 or greater). JAVA 2, system independent. Purpose:to encourage research in harmony in astronomy, math and music. Obstacles:math, DSP/synthesis, networks, astronomy. Features:audio, database, graphics Technologies: Telnet, .WAV audio, oggvorbis, other audio

jMorse generates audible morse code from input text. jMorse is written in java and can be used via ant, log4j, java logging, or directly in-code.

Superj is an Open Sound Control (OSC) enabled audio scripting server. It uses jcollider to communicate with a SuperCollider (scsynth) server. It can be easily integrated with popular OSC software like Pure Data (PD) or Max/Msp.

StringTuner is an app that plays the notes of a stringed instrument, such as a guitar, to aid in tuning the instrument. Intended for Android.

ApplPi is a stochastic noise machine that creates a soothing background noise for those who can't work in complete silence or need to mask distracting noise. It creates sound similar to any noise machine, but it's more musical and harmonic. Additionally, you can control the frequency (note) of the sound and choose from built-in presets of noise/sound.

Global Consciousness Project uses hardware "random" number generators and finds patterns between that and major world events. This Java applet will run on their webpage and translate that data to music-like audio. Or for general audio synthesizing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) evolves musical instruments you play with the mouse from small blocks of Java code that operate on numbers, each block designed to keep all numbers in range -1 to 1 if they started in that range, and combinations of these evolved codes running 44100 times per second for high quality 44.1 khz audio. You can also write the Java code into its window. Uses Javassist internal compiler on the new Java code assembled by renaming variables to overlap eachother and reordering, copying, and removing blocks of code. Listen to the recorded music in files section of sourceforge or try it for yourself. This branched into my other projects: GigaLineCompile, JSelfModify, JSoundCard, and Human AI Net as I got more into the AI and systems side of things and explored vision research as a better user interface to network minds together through the Internet. Someday I will bring it all together in a shared space on the Internet.

Java based system for creating Bio-Musical Worlds. Investigating the use of AI (flocking,A-Life, Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks) and other bio-modelling techniques for the creation and evolution of musical landscapes.

"CAGE", the Computer Audio Garden in Eclipse, is to be an Eclipse-based, Java and XML workbench, for the computer music composer. It will use the Rich Client Platform to provide a basic backbone framework, enabling existing computer music tools to be p
