Tao is a software package for sound synthesis using physical models. It provides a virtual acoustic material constructed from masses and springs which can be used as the basis for building quite complex virtual musical instruments. Tao comes with a synthesis language for creating and playing instruments and a C++ API for those who would like to use it as an object library.

Cuetools is a set of programs that are useful for manipulating and using CUE sheet (cue) files and Table of Contents (toc) files. CUE and TOC files are a way to represent the layout of a data or audio CD in a machine-readable ASCII format.

fmsynth is an LV2 plugin which implements an FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesizer. Unlike most FM synth implementations in software, this FM synthesizer does not aim to emulate or replicate a particular synth (like DX7) or FM chip.

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.

libInstPatch is a library for processing digital sample based MIDI instrument "patch" files. The types of files libInstPatch supports are used for creating instrument sounds for wavetable synthesis. libInstPatch provides an object framework (based on GObject) to load patch files, which can then be edited, converted, compressed and saved.

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

RtMidi is a set of C++ classes (RtMidiIn, RtMidiOut, and API specific classes) that provide a common cross-platform API for realtime MIDI input/output.

Libmodplug renders mod music files as raw audio data, for playing or conversion. mod, .s3m, .it, .xm, and a number of lesser-known formats are supported. Optional features include high-quality resampling, bass expansion, surround and reverb.

JamesDSP is an audio effect processor for PipeWire and PulseAudio clients, featuring:

• Automatic bass boost: Frequency-detecting bass-boost

• Automatic dynamic range compressor: automated multiband dynamic range adjusting effect

• Complex reverberation IIR network (Progenitor 2)

• Interpolated FIR equalizer with flexible bands

• Arbitrary response equalizer (also known as GraphicEQ from EqualizerAPO)

• AutoEQ database integration (requires network connection)

• Partitioned convolver (Auto segmenting convolution): Mono, stereo, full/true stereo (LL, LR, RL, RR) impulse response

• Crossfeed: Realistic surround effects

• Soundstage wideness: A multiband stereo wideness controller

• ViPER-DDC: Parametric equalization on audio and creating VDC input files

• Analog modeling: An aliasing-free even harmonic generator

• Output limiter

• Scripting engine: Live programmable DSP using the EEL2 scripting language

• Scripting IDE featuring syntax highlighting, basic code completion, dynamic code outline window, console output support and detailed error messages with inline code highlighting

libebur128 is a C library that implements the EBU R 128 standard for loudness normalisation.

The Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP (bs2b) library and plugins is designed to improve headphone listening of stereo audio records. Recommended for headphone prolonged listening to disable superstereo fatigue without essential distortions.

Libltc is a POSIX-C Library for handling Linear/Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) data.

pyroomacoustics is a framework for simulating the acustic behaviour of rooms, such as computing the impulse response using different simulation methods.

redumper is a low-level byte perfect CD disc dumper. It supports incremental dumps, advanced SCSI/C2 repair, intelligent audio CD offset detection, among other features. redumper is also a general purpose DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray disc dumper.

Faust is a programming language for realtime audio signal processing.

normalize is an audio track normalizer. For a collection of tracks with varying volumes, it is able to make the loudness consistent between them. This is helpful when making mixtapes, for example. It can work with WAV and MP3 files.

wp-notifyd is a lightweight notification daemon for WirePlumber (the session and policy manager for PipeWire).

This package provides a simple sound library for C++.

FDK is a library for encoding and decoding Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) format audio, developed by Fraunhofer IIS, and included as part of Android. It supports several Audio Object Types including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC LC, HE-AAC (AAC LC + SBR), HE-AACv2 (LC + SBR + PS) as well AAC-LD (low delay) and AAC-ELD (enhanced low delay) for real-time communication. The encoding library supports sample rates up to 96 kHz and up to eight channels (7.1 surround).

libmt32emu is a C/C++ library which approximately emulates the Roland MT-32, CM-32L and LAPC-I synthesizer modules. It is part of the Munt project.

Copies a stream, skipping everything except MP3 frames with valid headers. This can be used to copy and concatenate streams, even if they contain extra garbage.

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

Tenacity is a multi-track audio editor designed for recording, playing and editing digital audio. It features digital effects and spectrum analysis tools.

The SoX Resampler library (libsoxr) performs one-dimensional sample-rate conversion. It may be used, for example, to resample PCM-encoded audio.
