| 202 Hack | "202 Hack" is a shareware Java application which converts sequence information stored in standard MIDI files (SMF) into a format compatible with Roland MC-202ª sequences. Users have the capability to choose up to 2 MIDI channels (1-16) whose note information is extracted from the MIDI file and converted into the "internal" and/or "external" sequences of the 202. Accent and Portamento can also be coded as described below, as well as some post-processing tricks to generate "Roland TB-303ª-like" slides. The output of 202 Hack is an audio file (.wav format) which can then be played by your computer into the 202's "tape in" jack. | 1.01 | Dan Nigrin | Shareware |
| AGENTBEATS | AGENTBEATS is a java application used to generate progressive evolving beats or melodic sequences using interactively guided evolution of genetics based agents, engaged in some kind of artificial life simulations, representing beat-pieces; BEATAGENTS. | 2 | Mikkel Bertelsen | Freeware |
| Balaftuna | Balaftuna is an XY MIDI controller. You can assign to it the MIDI Event you like for the X coordinate, the MIDI Event you like for the Y coordinate, and the range for both. | 16NOV99 | Shay Leon | Freeware |
| CPS | CPS is a realtime interactive programming environment
for audio, MIDI and other media & I/O. Patches are build by placing
objects and making wires between them. Areas of interest are sound design, algorithmic composition, DSP, electronic/computer music and education. CPS can be used in any realtime situation where sound plays a role. |
1.0 | cps@bonneville.nl | Commercial, Windows only |
| Elody | Elody is a music composition environment based on a visual
functional language, a direct-handling user interface and Internet facilities.
It is written in Java and uses the real-time MIDI services of MidiShare.
Elody allows algorithmic descriptions and transformations of musical structures and compositional processes. Its design tries to promote a creative and experimental attitude (including for the programming activity), as well as Internet users collaboration. Working with Elody consists in building new musical expressions: musical objects as well as programs, by combining or composing other musical expressions. The user interface is based on drag&drop and visual functionalities. Each user action results in an immediate sound and graphical feedback. |

| JFugue | JFugue is a set of Java classes for music programming. It uses simple strings to represent musical data, including notes, chords, and instrument changes. JFugue also allows you to define music using patterns, and you can do interesting transformations on those patterns to come up with new musical segments that are derived from existing pieces of music. JFugue can write MIDI files. | 2.0 | Dave Koelle | freeware and open source |
| JamP | JamP is a skinnable, pure Java MP3 player with playlists. | .571 | Jens Hohl | Freeware |
| JASS | JASS (Java Audio Synthesis System) is a unit generator based audio synthesis programming environment written in pure Java. The environment is based on a foundation structure consisting of a small number of Java interfaces and abstract classes, which implement the functionality needed to create filter-graphs, or "patches". Unit generators are created by extending the abstract classes and implementing a single method. Patches are created by linking together unit generators in arbitrary complex graph structures. Patches can be rendered in real-time with special unit generators that communicate with the audio hardware, which have been implemented using the JavaSound API and through JNI for some platforms. | 1.162 | Kees van den Doel | Freeware |
| JavaMIDI | JavaMIDI is a set of classes and a library that let you use a platform's MIDI capabilities from Java. JavaMIDI supports MIDI input and output and arbitrary-length system exclusive packets for Win32 platforms (Win95 and NT) and the Macintosh. The Mac version uses Opcode Systems' OMS. | V03 | Robert Marsanyi | |
| Java MIDI Kit | The Java MIDI Kit is a set of Java classes designed to serve as the basis for platform-independent and OS-independent real-time interactive MIDI applications. The base classes may be used to build small, fixed configuration, stand-alone MIDI processing apps, or they may be used to build a MIDI-processing network server, which may be programmed and configured dynamically by a client application running on the same computer, or any computer on the same network. | 22 | Michael McNabb | GNU General Public License |
| JaWavedit | I was baptized to the name of JaWavedit for being the
Wave-Editor born in Java. That means that I feel at home in the Sun, an
Apple, or a Window. I'm said to be cute and easy to handle. But to get
o the point, I offer you:
- loading/saving of any .wav/.au files

| JCsound | A low-level Java driver for Csound, JCsound.Csound, and a high-level GUI shell for Csound, JCsound.CsoundManager | 3.0 | Michael Gogins | GNU General Public License |
| JCSelf | A generator for Csound using a stochastic method. JCself is a program that generates an 'orchestra file' and a 'score file' in the Csound-format. | Peter Heeren | Freeware | |
| JDSP | JDSP is an audio signal processing application where
the processing functions are written by you - the user. Using code written
in the Java programming language, you enter the math in a text window and
JDSP crunches source files and churns out hand-processed AIFF files.
This is not like editing patches in an effects box or on a synth. There are no "building blocks" of DSP functions which you route signals through. Instead, you program the low-level DSP algorithms yourself; using good old fashioned math. ;-) |
1.0a1 10/17/0 | Steev Coco | Requires Java 1.1 or higher, QuickTime 4 or higher, and
QuickTime For Java. Currently only runs on the Mac and Windows.
Future versions will eliminate the QT requirement but won't be able to
playback sounds without it. [

| MidiChat | MidiChat makes it possible to send and receive MIDI in
realtime and chat with people around the world, using internet. The idea
was born in the context of the Distributed Sound Lab. MidiChat is developed
and programmed by Niels Gorisse.
MidiChat starts with logging into a server, on which you can meet other users. After you have logged in into a channel and started MIDI, everything you play will be sent to everybody in the channel. Also, you receive MIDI which is sent by everyone in the channel. This way you can perform together in realtime with MIDI. You can also communicate with each other by typing text, just like regular IRC. . |

| SoundSpace | SoundSpace currently allows users to graphically create, edit, and save text files used by the space extensions of CSound. Space takes a series of points given as a time in seconds and tenths of seconds and Cartesian (x-y) coordinates and using a source sound file creates a file that 'moves' along these points over time. This information is read from a text file. | .05 | Mark Haslam | Freeware |
