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.

This is a crossplatform C64 music editor. Supports emulated output via Dag
Lem's reSID engine, the HardSID soundcard or CatWeasel MK3.
It supports emulated output via the software reSID engine, the HardSID
soundcard, or the Catweasel (MK3/MK4) controller card, and produces songs in
its own format (*.SNG). The program can also export tunes in SID format, BIN
format, or Commodore PRG format for inclusion on a floppy you can stick into
a 1541/1571/1581 drive.
Like most tracker programs, the program is able to import instrument files,
create and modify track patterns, set the order of playback of patterns and
change details of the song such as the title and author. If you are familiar
with tracker-like programs, then GoatTracker will feel like a simple version
of those, though with differences attributable to the hardware. People new to
composing in general should look up other information on composing on the
C64.

SooperLooper is a live looping sampler capable of immediate loop recording,
overdubbing, multiplying, reversing and more. It allows for multiple
simultaneous multi-channel loops limited only by your computer's available
memory.
The application is a standalone JACK client with an engine controllable via
OSC and MIDI. It also includes a GUI which communicates with the engine via
OSC (even over a network) for user-friendly control on a desktop.

Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio
workstation (DAW). It can be used to control, record, edit and run
complex audio setups.
Ardour supports pro-audio interfaces
through the ALSA project, which provides high quality, well designed
device drivers and API's for audio I/O under Linux. Any interface
supported by ALSA can be used with Ardour. This includes the
all-digital 26 channel RME Hammerfall, the Midiman Delta 1010 and many
others.
Ardour has support for 24 bit samples
using floating point internally, non-linear editing with unlimited undo,
a user-configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities, MIDI hardware
control surface compatibility.
It supports MIDI
Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller and
many modern digital mixers.
Ardour contains a
powerful multitrack audio editor/arranger that is completely
non-destructive and capable of all standard non-linear editing
operations (insert, replace, delete, move, trim, select,
cut/copy/paste). The editor has unlimited undo/redo capabilities and can
save independent "versions" of a track or an entire piece
Ardour's editor supports the community-developed LADSPA
plugin standard. Arbitrary chains of plugins can be attached to any
portion of a track. Every mixer strip can have any number of inputs
and outputs, not just mono, stereo or 5.1. An N-way panner is
included, with support for various panning models. Pre- and post-fader
sends exist, each with their own gain and pan controls. Every mixer
strip acts as its own bus, and thus the bus count in Ardour is
unlimited. You can submix any number of strips into another
strip.
Ardour's channel capacity is limited only
by the number on your audio interface and the ability of your disk
subsystem to stream the data back and forth.
JACK
(the JACK Audio Connection Kit) is used for all audio I/O, permitting
data to be exchanged in perfect samplesync with other applications
and/or hardware audio interfaces.
Ardour is
sample rate and size neutral - any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits,
and rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Internal processing in 32/64 bit IEEE
floating point format.
Further information can be
found at https://ardour.org/.

kluppe is written in c and uses jack, gtk and sndfile. Features include:
- multiple files buffers, multiple 'loopers' tracks
- direct (gui) access to all loopers
- combined and per loop output ports for jack
- different playmodes including "granular"
kluppe is the Austrian word for clip and sounds even crazier if you loop it.

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.

SuperBoucle is a loop based software fully controllable with any midi device.
SuperBoucle is also synced with jack transport. You can use it on live
performance or for composition.
SuperBoucle is composed of a matrix of sample controllable with external
midi device like pad. SuperBoucle will send back information to midi
device (light up led). Sample will always start and stop on a beat or
group of beats. You can adjust duration of sample (loop period) in beat
and offset in beat. But you can also adjust sample offset in raw frame
count negative or positive. Which mean sample can start before next beat
(useful for reversed sample). You can record loop of any size, adjust
BPM, reverse, and normalize samples.
