JACK is a low-latency audio server. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation.

Redkite is a small GUI toolkit developed in C++17 and inspired from other well known GUI toolkits such as Qt and GTK. It is minimal on purpose and is intended to be statically linked to applications, therefore satisfying any requirements they may have to be self contained, as is the case with audio plugins.

An easy to use audio filtering library made from webrtc code, used in libtoxcore.

Fluid-3 is Frank Wen's pro-quality GM soundfont.

yabridge is Yet Another way to use Windows audio plugins. It supports using Windows VST2, VST3, and CLAP plugins in plugin hosts as if they were native plugins, with optional support for plugin groups to enable inter-plugin communication for VST2 plugins and quick startup times.

This C++ library implements the Butterworth, RBJ, and Chebychev IIR filters. Samples are processed one by one, in real time. It can easily import coefficients generated with Python (scipy). It also avoids memory leaks by allocating memory at compile time, using templates, instead of calling malloc() or new.

This package provides a conversion utility for LV2 Plugin developers to generate C headers from Turtle files.

An LV2 port of the mda EPiano VSTi.

Rakarrack is a richly featured multi-effects processor emulating a guitar effects pedalboard. Effects include compressor, expander, noise gate, equalizers, exciter, flangers, chorus, various delay and reverb effects, distortion modules and many more. Most of the effects engine is built from modules found in the excellent software synthesizer ZynAddSubFX. Presets and user interface are optimized for guitar, but Rakarrack processes signals in stereo while it does not apply internal band-limiting filtering, and thus is well suited to all musical instruments and vocals.

Rubber Band is a library and utility program that permits changing the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of one another.

r128gain is a multi platform command line tool to scan your audio files and tag them with loudness metadata (ReplayGain v2 or Opus R128 gain format), to allow playback of several tracks or albums at a similar loudness level. r128gain can also be used as a Python module from other Python projects to scan and/or tag audio files.

alsa-midi-latency-test measures the roundtrip time of a MIDI message in the alsa subsystem of the Linux kernel using a high precision timer. It calculates the worst case roundtrip time of all sent MIDI messages and displays a histogram of the roundtrip time jitter.

TinyALSA is a small library to interface with ALSA in the Linux kernel.

cyanrip is a command line tool for ripping CDs. It uses MusicBrainz to name and tag each track, and to download and embed cover art. cyanrip supports encoding tracks to multiple formats in parallel and automatically verifies checksums.

Patchage is a modular patch bay for audio and MIDI systems based on JACK and ALSA.

TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits data of the Wav audio files. Being lossless means that no data- quality is lost in the compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original. The compression ratios of TTA depend on the type of music file being compressed, but the compression size will generally range between 30% - 70% of the original. TTA format supports both of ID3v1/v2 and APEv2 tags.

Swh-plugins-lv2 is a collection of audio plugins in LV2 format. Plugin classes include: dynamics (compressor, limiter), time (delay, chorus, flanger), ringmodulator, distortion, filters, pitchshift, oscillators, emulation (valve, tape), bit fiddling (decimator, pointer-cast), etc.

This package provides Steve Harris's LADSPA plugins.

RNNoise is a library that uses deep learning to apply noise suppression to audio sources with voice presence. This package provides an LV2 audio plugin.

This package provides a LADSPA plugin for a stereo reverb effect.

Vamp is an audio processing plugin system for plugins that extract descriptive information from audio data — typically referred to as audio analysis plugins or audio feature extraction plugins.

Lilv is a C library to make the use of LV2 plugins as simple as possible for applications. Lilv is the successor to SLV2, rewritten to be significantly faster and have minimal dependencies.

Sratom is a library for serialising LV2 atoms to/from RDF, particularly the Turtle syntax.

Streamripper records shoutcast-compatible streams. For shoutcast style streams it finds the “meta data” or track separation data, and uses that as a marker for where the track should be separated.
