(M)exoscope is an oscilloscope VST plugin. You can use it to visually monitor audio wave forms.

There are countless times when being able to see what your audio waveform looks like could be useful. Youll know when the time is right. For all those other times, well, its very pretty to look at!

Frinika is a free, complete music workstation software for Linux, Windows, Mac OSX Tiger and other operating systems running Java 1.5 (J2SE5.0).
Frinika features sequencer, soft-synths, realtime effects and audio recording.
Enhancements:
- This release added an ultra-low latency switch for adjusting the CPU intensity needed for extreme low latencies.
- It is now possible to export one WAV file per track.
- A peak level indicator and master panel and master volume controls were added.
- Audio stability and low latency fixes were made.
- A sine waveform was implemented in Analogika.
- An issue where Analogika didnt load LoPassSustain settings was fixed.

Papagayo is a lip-syncing program designed to help you line up phonemes (mouth shapes) with the actual recorded sound of actors speaking. Papagayo makes it easy to lip sync animated characters by making the process very simple - just type in the words being spoken (or copy/paste them from the animations script), then drag the words on top of the sounds waveform until they line up with the proper sounds.

After syncing up mouth shapes with actual sounds, Papagayo can then export the result for use with Moho, our 2D animation product.

Papagayo is free to download and use. Sync till your virtual lips are sore!
Papagayo is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

AkBrowser can read samples from Yamaha A-series Sample Disks and convert sample waveform data into AIFF files.
Samples can be auditioned by simply double-clicking the file in the browser.

AkBrowser can display the sample disks files and folders in both a list and column view similar to the Mac OS X Finder. Also, multiple samples can be selected and converted to AIFF files.

FMOD is a cross platform audio library that supports a wide range of audio formats and playback options, including a physically correct 3D audio engine. FMOD Wrappers offers you classes and modules that implement a subset of FMODs functionality via familiar REALbasic style interfaces.

This project was initially conceived to overcome the lack of waveform sample memory sharing in REALbasics built-in Sound class. REALbasic 5.5 introduced the Sound.Clone method, which addressed that limitation to some extent, but the Sound class is still far behind in terms of functionality when compared to FMODs features.

Unlike the built-in Sound class, the FMOD Wrapper classes separate the playback mechanism (FMODsound Class) from the sound sample data (FMODsample Class). This allows any FMODsound object to play back and manipulate any FMODsample, regardless if it is already being used by another FMODsound instance. Think of FMODsample as the actual "noise", and FMODsound as a "speaker" that can playback and manipulate any noise passed to it.

Other than that fundamental difference, the FMOD Wrapper classes function in a very similar manner to the built-in Sound class, but also take advantage of some of FMODs more advanced features. The FMODmusic and FMODstream classes by their very nature do not make a distinction between the sample and playback mechanism, and work essentially the same as the built-in Sound class.

Sonic Visualiser is an application for viewing and analysing the contents of music audio files.
The aim of Sonic Visualiser is to be the program you reach for when you find a musical recording you want to study rather than simply hear.
As well as a number of features designed to make exploring audio data as revealing and fun as possible, Sonic Visualiser also has powerful annotation capabilities to help you to describe what you find, and the ability to run automated annotation and analysis plugins in the new Vamp analysis plugin format.
We hope Sonic Visualiser will be of particular interest to musicologists, archivists, signal-processing researchers and anyone else looking for a friendly way to take a look at what lies inside the audio file.
Sonic Visualiser is Free Software, distributed under the GNU General Public License and available for Linux, OS/X, and Windows. It was developed at the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University of London, by Chris Cannam (of Fervent Software, Rosegarden, Studio to Go!, and DSSI).
Main features:
- Load audio files in WAV, Ogg and MP3 formats, and view their waveforms.
- Look at audio visualisations such as spectrogram views, with interactive adjustment of display parameters.
- Annotate audio data by adding labelled time points and defining segments, point values and curves.
- Overlay annotations on top of one another with aligned scales, and overlay annotations on top of waveform or spectrogram views.
- View the same data at multiple time resolutions simultaneously (for close-up and overview).
- Run feature-extraction plugins to calculate annotations automatically, using algorithms such as beat trackers, pitch detectors and so on.
- Import annotation layers from various text file formats.
- Import note data from MIDI files, view it alongside other frequency scales, and play it with the original audio.
- Play back the audio plus synthesised annotations, taking care to synchronise playback with display.
- Select areas of interest, optionally snapping to nearby feature locations, and audition individual and comparative selections in seamless loops.
- Time-stretch playback, slowing it down to as little as 10% of the original speed while retaining a synchronised display.
- Export audio regions and annotation layers to external files.
