AudioMulch is software for real-time sound synthesis, music composition and audio processing.
CPS by Bonneville is a MIDI and audio program for the Windows platform that bears some resemblance to Max/MSP. The audio implementation is based in part on the MPEG-4 Structured Audio opcodes.
The EyesWeb research project aims at exploring and developing models of interaction by extending music language toward gesture and visual languages, with a particular focus on the understanding of affect and expressive content in gesture.
Infinity by Sound Quest is a graphical real-time MIDI processing program for Windows. It works in conjunction with a number of other music applications, and includes a VST 2.0 plug-in.
jMax is a visual programming environment for building interactive real-time music and multimedia applications. jMax is a new implementation of the MAX software written originally by Miller Puckette at Ircam. The name MAX is an homage to Max Matthews, one of the fathers of computer music.
KeyKit is a free program developed by Tim Thompson at AT&T that is useful for algorithmic composition and real-time MIDI processing. Executable versions are available for Windows 95 and Linux. Someone should consider making a Max object out of it.
The Kyma System is a software/hardware combination sound design workstation that is controlled with a graphical patching style front-end.
Open Sound World, or OSW, is a scalable, extensible programming environment that allows musicians, sound designers and researchers to process sound in response to expressive real-time control. OSW combines a familiar visual patching paradigm with solid programming-language features such as a strong type system and hierarchical name spaces.
Processing is a programming language and environment built for the electronic arts and visual design communities. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook. It is used by students, artists, design professionals, and researchers for learning, prototyping, and production.
Miller Puckette's Pd is the Max/MSP author's new project to both simplify and extend the system he started working on more than a decade ago.
Spectral audio processing for the Macintosh.
James McCartney was an early contributor to the Max community and wrote a number of cool objects including the programming language object Pyrite (available on the IRCAM FTP server). Pyrite evolved into an incredibly powerful real-time software synthesis language called SuperCollider.
Isadora is a graphic programming environment that provides interactive control over digital media, with special emphasis on the real-time manipulation of digital video.
vvvv is a toolkit for real time video synthesis and connecting physical devices. We use the word "synthesis" because vvvv generates or "synthesizes" video through the usage of moving graphical objects.
WaveWarp is an "object-oriented, real-time, audio effects processor for Windows 95/98/NT" with a large collection of modules and some unique features including multi-rate signal processing.
