DGEdit allows one to create drum kits for use in DrumGizmo from recordings of individual instruments (snare, kickdrum, toms, crashes, and so on). It supports the entire process of taking a group of WAV files and converting them into working instruments with hit energy levels.

DrumGizmo's main aim is to simulate a real drum kit. Features:

• Stand-alone application, Lv2 plugin version available
• Drum multilayer velocities, allowing for several different hit velocities for each drum
• Multichannel output, making it possible to mix it just the way you would a real drumkit
• Optional built-in humanizer, analyzing the MIDI notes, adjusting velocities on-the-fly
• Mic bleed simulation
• Open drumkit file format, allowing to create your own drumkits
• Stand-alone MIDI renderer, generating .wav files, 1 for each channel
• Stand-alone MIDI input, making it possible to use DrumGizmo as a software sampler for an electronic drumkit

Please note that for using DrumGizmo you will need to download some compatible drum kit audio data made by the community (such as those available at www.drumgizmo.org) or create one yourself with DGEdit (provided in the dgedit package).

drumkv1 is an old-school all-digital drum-kit sampler synthesizer with stereo effects. It is provided in both forms of a LV2 plugin and a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support.

This package provides the standalone app.

Hydrogen is an advanced drum machine which provides a professional, yet simple and intuitive, pattern-based drum programming interface.

General features:

• Very user-friendly, modular, fast and intuitive graphical interface based on Qt 5.
• Sample-based stereo audio engine, with import of sound samples in .wav, .au and .aiff formats.
• Support of samples in compressed FLAC file.

Sequencer and mixer features:

• Pattern-based sequencer, with unlimited number of patterns and ability to chain patterns into a song.
• Up to 64 ticks per pattern with individual level per event and variable pattern length.
• 32 instrument tracks with volume, mute, solo, pan capabilities.
• Multi layer support for instruments (up to 16 samples for each instrument).
• Ability to import/export song files.
• Unique human velocity, human time, pitch and swing functions.
• Multiple patterns playing at once.

Other features:

• JACK, ALSA, PortAudio, OSS and PulseAudio audio drivers.
• ALSA MIDI and PortMidi input with assignable midi-in channel (1..16, ALL).
• Import/export of drumkits.
• Export song to wav file.
• Export song to midi file.

This package contains a collection of drumkits for Hydrogen, a sample based drum machine/step sequencer.

More drumkits can be installed per-user via the Hydrogen's "Import library" function in the "Instruments" menu.

free, minimal, hardcore audio tool for DJs, live performers and electronic musicians. Pick up your channel, fill it with samples or MIDI events and start the show by using this tiny piece of software as a loop machine, drum machine, sequencer, live sampler or yet as a plugin/effect host.

Giada aims to be a compact and portable virtual device for production use and live sets.

Advanced GTK+ Sequencer is intended to be used for music composition. It features a piano roll, as well as a synth, matrix editor, drum machine, soundfont2 player, mixer and an output panel. It’s designed to be highly configurable. You may add effects to its effect chain; and add or remove audio channels/pads. You may set up a fully functional network of engines, thus there is a link editor for linking audio lines.

This package contains a collection of unusual drumkits for Hydrogen, a sample based drum machine/step sequencer.

Even more unusual drumkits can be installed per-user via the Hydrogen's "Import library" function in the "Instruments" menu.

LMMS aims to be a free alternative to popular (but commercial and closed- source) programs like FruityLoops, Cubase and Logic giving you the ability of producing music with your computer by creating cool loops, synthesizing and mixing sounds, arranging samples, having more fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more...

LMMS combines the features of a tracker-/sequencer-program (pattern-/channel-/ sample-/song-/effect-management) and those of powerful synthesizers and samplers in a modern, user-friendly and easy to use graphical user-interface.

Pure Data (also known as Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio and graphics processing. Pd's audio functions are built-in; graphical computations require separate packages such as gem (Graphics Environment for Multimedia) or pd-pdp (Pd Packet).

This is a metapackage that depends on all components of the core of Pd.

Seq24 was created to provide a very simple interface for editing and playing midi 'loops'. It is a very minimal sequencer that excludes the bloated features of the large software sequencers and includes a small subset that proved to be useful for live performances.

The Non DAW Studio is a modular system composed of four main parts consisting of the Non Timeline, the Non Mixer, the Non Sequencer, and the Non Session Manager.

The Non DAW Studio is a complete studio that is fast and light enough to run on low-end hardware.

This is the Non Sequencer package.
