Audio Wizard (foo_audio_wizard) is a fiery chapter of The Wizardium, granting foobar2000 audiophiles and engineers tools for full-track analysis and real-time monitoring. Harness Pure Dynamics for psychoacoustic clarity.
Multi-format audio player with MIDI, minigames, playlists & many visualizations
Lightweight GTK3 audio player supporting MIDI, WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, AIFF, and Opus formats. Features OPL3 FM synthesis for authentic MIDI playback, drag-and-drop playlist queue, real-time spectrum visualization, 10-band equalizer, and M3U playlist support. Built with SDL2 audio backend for cross-platform compatibility across Linux and Windows. Includes intuitive controls with keyboard shortcuts, 5-second seek buttons, and efficient format conversion. Perfect for musicians and audio enthusiasts needing reliable playback of both modern and legacy audio formats. Multi-threaded architecture ensures smooth performance. MIT License.
Bitter shows how many of the available bits are being used by the audio signal, reports clipping samples, and estimates when digital-to-analog conversion would cause inter-sample clips. Typical uses for a bitscope include: verifying that a render dither is working properly; verifying that a particular plugin is not reducing the signal bit depth; testing for faulty audio source data.
Features:
Check for Intersample Clipping that may appear during digital-to-analog conversion
Detailed display of the usage density of each bit
Reveal the bitrate of the digital signal, which may well differ from that of the file’s bitrate or your DAW’s audio engine bitrate
This project is for a DirectSound DLL replacement. It implements the DirectSound interfaces by translating the calls to OpenAL, and fools applications into thinking there is a hardware accelerated sound device. EAX is also implemented (up to version 4) by using OpenAL’s EAX extension, allowing for environmental reverb with sound obstruction and occlusion effects.
Effectively, this allows DirectSound applications to enable their DirectSound3D acceleration path, and turn on EAX. The actual processing is being done by OpenAL with no hardware acceleration requirement, allowing it to work on systems where audio acceleration is not otherwise available.
Or more succinctly: it enables DirectSound3D surround sound and EAX for systems without the requisite hardware.
OpenMusic (OM) is a visual programming language based on Common Lisp. Visual programs are created by assembling and connecting icons representing functions and data structures. Most programming and operations are performed by dragging an icon from a particular place and dropping it to an other place. Built-in visual control structures (e.g. loops) are provided, that interface with Lisp ones. Existing CommonLisp/CLOS code can easily be used in OM, and new code can be developed in a visual way.
OM may be used as a general purpose functional/object/visual programming language. At a more specialized level, a set of provided classes and libraries make it a very convenient environment for music composition. Above the OpenMusic kernel, live the OpenMusic Projects. A project is a specialized set of classes and methods written in Lisp, accessible and visualisable in the OM environment. Various classes implementing musical data / behaviour are provided. They are associated with graphical editors and may be extended by the user to meet specific needs. Different representations of a musical process are handled, among which common notation, midi piano-roll, sound signal. High level in-time organisation of the music material is proposed through the concept of “maquette”.
OM-SoX is a library for multichannel audio manipulation and functional batch processing for OpenMusic, a visual programming environment based on CommonLisp / CLOS.
Partiels is an audio analysis application that allows you to explore the content and characteristics of sounds.
Features:
Partiels allows analysis of one or several audio files using Vamp plug-insloading data files, visualizing, editing, organizing, and exporting the results as images or text files that can be used in other applications such as Max, Pure Data, Open Music, etc.
Windows, Mac & Linux support
Multiformat support
Multichannel support
Multiaudiofile support
Analyzing audio with Vamp plug-ins
Visualizing results as spectrogram, lines, and markers
Loading results from CSV, LAB, JSON, CUE & SDIF formats
Batch processing
Command line interface to analyze, export, and convert results
Consolidating documents for sharing
Alongside Partiels, a wide range of analyses based on audio engines developed at IRCAM and outside are ported to Vamp plug-ins. These plug-ins allow you to perform FFT, LPC, transient, fundamental, formant, tempo, TTS and many other analyses. You can also find a large number of analysis plug-ins on the Vamp plug-ins website.
Sequencer64 is a live MIDI looper with a song-creation layout window. Sequencer64 is a reboot of seq24, extending it greatly over the last six years. The heart of seq24 remains intact. It is an old friend with a whole lot of added equipment. It has an extensive manual and Windows installers. Sequencer64 has build options for ALSA, PortMidi, JACK, Gtkmm 2.4, Qt 5, Windows, and a command-line/daemon.
