The project is divided into two main sections: a metronome and a click track generator. The metronome is intended as a practice aid for musicians. It loops a single bar of click track that is specified by the user. The user can select the time signature, beat division, beat grouping, bar emphasis and beat emphasis. The click track generator is intended as a song practice aid for single musicians or an entire band. Just like when recording int the studio, it provides a constant benchmark for the tempo. Both the metronome and click track are generated dynamically and played using the build in audio libraries of android. This provides a highly precise click.

The Tibetan and Himalayan Library has several open-sourced tools for inputting, manipulating, translating, and transcribing Tibetan-language text, audio, and video. We aim to make using a computer easier for Himalayan peoples and scholars.

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

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.

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.

DISSCO is an integrated environment for music composition (CMOD) and additive sound sythesis (LASS). LASS is a C++ library. It includes a Java GUI (LASSIE) which allows users to enter the specifications needed to build sounds. CMOD will be part of a

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.

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.

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

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.
