PySynth 0.8
A simple and open source music synthesizer developer in Python more>> A simple and open source music synthesizer developer in Python
PySynth is a free and simple music synthesizer written in Python. PySynths based on a script found on the Web and then modified for this purposes.
The sound does not try to emulate a specific instrument, its more like a mixture of piano, electric piano, organ (in the bass), and vibraphone.
The current release of the synthesizer can only play one note at a time. However, two output files can be mixed together.
The script can also be used as a module by other Python programs.
System requirements:
- Python

Enhancements
- Command line option parsing has been slightly refactored to allow custom override through extraordinary fluidsynth option settings (eg. -o name=value; fixes bug #2781579).
- Main form layout has been given a little bit more slack space, just to accommodate some longer text label translations (eg. German).
- Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
- Saved channel presets are now effectively loaded on engine startup.
- Russian translation added (thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine).
- Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
- Qt Software logo update.
- Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
- Slight optimizations to the output peak meters refresh rate.
- MIDI and audio device names are now user selectable options through respective drop-down lists on each engine setup dialog.

SlimControl 0.3
SlimControl - Control your Squeezebox with a Dashboard widget more>> The Space Synth is a polyphonic VST instrument plugin, with an ambient sound. It is suitable for ambient music, space music, ambient techno and electronic music in general. The plugin has a unique sound, which makes it very suitable for the musician who needs a fresh new sounding addition to his/her arsenal of plugins and synthesizers. A resonator in combination with an ensemble, an analog style sequencer and an evolving wave oscillator, creates highly sophisticated sounds generated from a ground breaking synthesizer architecture. The plugin has an extensive set of modulation options, making it possible to have say the analog style sequencer modulate the LFO rate for the resonator. The sequencer can also modulate the filters resonance parameter, to create a range of interesting sounds. The ensemble effect creates sounds with a rich and fat sound. The stereo delay can be easily synchronized with the host software. Just point on click on "sync" and the delay time will stay in perfect sync with the host software. There are so many other options in this plugin, which cannot be described here. Download either the plugin or the manual or both and judge for yourself.<<less

The jVSTwRapper also enables you to write platform independent (mac/win/linux) vst plugins. The same files run, without any additional effort (no need for recompilation, no platform specific GUI, etc.) on all platforms.
The wrapper itself is a native compiled binary (.so on linux, .vst bundle on the mac, .dll on windows) that invokes a JVM and delegates native calls to the VST plugin implemented in java.
Hosts on Mac OSX:
- Ableton Live
- Melodyne
- Traction
- LUNA
- Amadeus II
- Amadeus Pro
- Plogue Bidule
- Spark XL
- Audacity (using jVSTwRapper as LADSPA plugin)
- Any host based on the Max/MSP runtime, e.g.: The Ugly VSTi Interface, VST Shell X, ...
- VSTi Host (this one uses Max/MSP Java (MXJ) and spawns a JVM --> simply put a copy of jVSTsYstem_bin.jar into the folder: "/Applications/VSTi Host/VSTi Host.app/support/java/lib")
- MissWatson
- minihost
Enhancements:
- Integrated with VSTAU (http://code.google.com/p/vstau/), for Audio Unit support.
- Apache Maven integration: allows to create a .zip file from your jVSTwRapper plugin for all 3 supported platforms (windows, linux, mac osx) with a single command (again supported on every platform).
