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.

A module for netbeans that allows quick implementation of the jvstWrapper java-vst programming interface from the new project dialog, including automatically created gui and parameter control.

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.

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.

Syn-Thesis is an additive VST synthesizer with 4 oscillators, which is written in Java. The waveform of each oscillator can be created by adding up to 64 harmonics. Syn-Thesis is based on the jVSTwRapper and can be used as VST plugin.

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.

xSonify is a Java-based sonification data analysis prototype for displaying science data as sounds, with an emphasis on supporting visually-impaired researchers. Alternatives include Sonification Sandbox <http://sonify.psych.gatech.edu/research/>, MathTrax and Earth Plus <http://prime.jsc.nasa.gov/>, Sonifyer <http://www.sonifyer.org> and SoniPy <http://sourceforge.net/projects/sonipy/>.

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.

Annoy your neighbor, antagonize your boss, or simply make everyone else smile with this insidiously customizable audio clock.

Chordfinder is an useful tool for musicians, in order to find chords and scales.

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.
