OpenSebJ ~ Real-time Sample Mixer
OpenSebJ is a free real time audio sample mixer that runs on Microsoft Windows. The source code for OpenSebJ is released under the GNU General Public License.
- Supports loading of 255 audio samples, in wav format, which can be played in real time.
- Sample properties such as volume, pan and frequency can be adjusted individually for each sample. (even during mid-play)
- A composition tool is provided and presented in a familiar multi-track sequencer environment. Looping compositions are also supported.
- Samples can be linked to keys on a keyboard and triggered in real time when a key press occurs.
- Each sample can also have the play cursor position adjusted while the sample is playing, to provide a virtual needle to be moved.
- Stream to disk recording, allows all audio played from OpenSebJ to be saved.
- Pitch shifter roll, allows an order to be set up, so that each time a sample is played, the next pitch shift in the sequence is undertaken before the sample is played. i.e. set up a sample to key ‘1’, then set up a pitch shift sequence, high, mid, low, higher, etc. (using frequency values which are transposed onto screen ‘ranges’ to allow easier utilization).

guitarix ~ Linux Virtual Guitar Amplifier
guitarix is a virtual guitar amplifier for Linux running on Jack Audio Connection Kit. It is free as in speech and free as in beer. The available source code allows you to build it on other UNIX-like systems too, namely BSD and MacOSX.
guitarix takes the signal from your guitar as any real amp would do: as a mono-signal from your sound card. The input is processed by a main amp and a rack-section. Both can be routed separately and deliver a processed stereo-signal via Jack. You may fill the rack with effects from more than 25 built-in modules from a simple noise gate to brain-slashing modulation f/x stuff like flanger, phaser or auto-wah.

CreateM3U ~ m3u Playlist Creator
Drag & drop files or folders to create .m3u playlists. For each folder, a single .m3u file is created named after that folder. It will not replace already existing playlists of that name. The generated playlists do not contain EXTM3U information because a simple .m3u is nothing more than a text file with a list of file names per line. The initial tool for this task for me was a batch file. 😉
As the generated playlists only include filenames without any path, and they are located with the media files, they can be moved together with the files, as an example, for portable mp3 player usage.
