Main goal of this project is to ease usage of legacy, not JACK-ified apps, in a JACK MIDI enabled system. a2jmidid is a daemon that implements automatic bridging. For every ALSA sequencer port you get one JACK MIDI port. If ALSA sequencer port is both one input and one output, you get two JACK MIDI ports, one input and one output.

Пакунок містить програми abc2midi' таmidi2abc', які перетворюють музичний формат нот abc у стандартний формат MIDI і навпаки. Вони можуть генерувати акомпанемент з гітарних акордів у файл формату abc, а також вставляти різні MIDI-події; при Midi-до-abc трансляції виконується спроба самостійно виявити тактові риски, тріолі та знаки альтерації.

У пакунку також є abc2abc' (приємний вивід на друк abc/ретранслятор)mftext' (програма, яка показує MIDI-файл як текст) і `midicopy' (програма, яка витягує певні доріжки, канали і тимчасові інтервали з MIDI-файла).

В пакунку також є „yaps“ (Yet another ABC to PostScript converter), що перетворює музику написану в форматі ABC в PostScript, який можна переглянути на екрані або надрукувати. По суті, це (не єдина) альтернатива для „abc2ps“, заснована на коді для PostScript з „abc2ps“ та коді розбору ABC з пакунка „abcmidi“.

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.

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.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: gsequencer-data

JACK keyboard is a program that allows you to send JACK MIDI events (play ;-) using your PC keyboard. It's somewhat similar to vkeybd, except it uses JACK MIDI instead of ALSA, and the default keyboard mapping is much better - it uses the same layout as trackers (like Impulse Tracker) did, so you have two and half octaves under your fingers.

KMetronome is a MIDI based metronome using the ALSA sequencer.

The intended audience are musicians and music students. Like the solid, real metronomes it is a tool to keep the rhythm while playing musical instruments.

It uses MIDI for sound generation instead of digital audio, allowing low CPU usage and very accurate timing thanks to the ALSA sequencer

Midicsv reads a standard MIDI file and decodes it into a CSV (Comma-Separated Value) file which preserves all the information in the MIDI file. The ASCII CSV file may be loaded into a spreadsheet or database application, or processed by a program to transform the MIDI data (for example, to key transpose a composition or extract a track from a multi-track sequence). A CSV file in the format created by midicsv may be converted back into a standard MIDI file with the csvmidi program.

ALSA is an effort to create a modules sound system for Linux, while maintaining full compatibility with OSS/Lite.

This program works with latest ALSA 1.0 drivers and former 0.9 versions.

This is a straightforward command line program to play midi files through the ALSA sequencer.

As you can specify the client and port to connect to on the command line it is also useful for testing ALSA or clients that need to receive sequencer events.

QMidiArp is an advanced MIDI arpeggiator, programmable step sequencer and LFO for the ALSA sequencer. It can hold any number of arpeggiator, sequencer, or LFO modules running in parallel.

Arpeggiator modules produce sequences depending on the notes sent to their input port, which is typically connected to a keyboard or another sequencer.

Step sequencer modules allow one to create simple linear, monophonic and globally transposable sequences similar to the first analog sequencers.

MIDI LFO modules independently produce MIDI controller data of adjustable waveform, time resolution, amplitude and duration.

For each module, an input note filter is available, and the output port and channel can be set independently. Since the modules use a common sequencer queue, they are automatically in sync with each other. QMidiArp works with an internal tick resolution of 192 ticks per beat. The queue can be synchronized to an incoming MIDI realtime clock or as a JACK transport client. Most of the relevant control elements are accessible via MIDI controller through a MIDI-learn infrastructure. QMidiArp also has a log tool displaying the history of incoming MIDI events in colors depending on their type. QMidiArp is based on the Qt toolkit.

Метою LMMS є створення вільної альтернативи популярним (але комерційним і закритим) програмам, таким як FruityLoops, Cubase та Logic та дає Вам можливість утворювати музику з допомогою комп’ютера шляхом створення крутих циклів, синтезу і змішання звуків, аранжування зразків, а також дозволить мати багато задоволення від використання MIDI-клавіатури та ще багато іншого…

LMMS поєднує в собі можливості трекера/секвенсора (керування шаблонами, каналами, зразками, композиціями і ефектами), а також потужних синтезаторів в сучасному, дружньому і простому у використанні графічному інтерфейсі користувача.

Machina - wnpp
polyphonic MIDI sequencer based on finite-state automata
License: GPL
Debian package not available

Machina is probabilistic (i.e. very small machines can produce interesting non-repetitive output) but also capable of deterministically representing any piece of “discrete note music” - or anything in between. There is also experimental support for evolving machines (using a Genetic Algorithm) to play similar (but not identical) music to an existing piece (from a MIDI file or real-time MIDI instrument input).

Osc2midi - wnpp
Highly flexible and configurable OSC / JACK MIDI bridge
License: GPL-3
Debian package not available

It was designed especially for use on Linux desktop and the open source Android app called "Control (OSC+MIDI)" but was deliberately written to be flexible enough to be used with any OSC controller or target.

Superboucle - wnpp
Loop based software fully controllable with any midi device
License: GPL 3
Debian package not available

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.
