libnoise is a portable C++ library that is used to generate coherent
noise, a type of smoothly-changing noise. libnoise can generate
Perlin noise, ridged multifractal noise, and other types of
coherent-noise.
Coherent noise is often used by graphics programmers to generate
natural-looking textures, planetary terrain, and other things. The
mountain scene shown above was rendered in Terragen with a terrain
file generated by libnoise. You can also view some other examples of
what libnoise can do.
In libnoise, coherent-noise generators are encapsulated in classes
called noise modules. There are many different types of noise
modules. Some noise modules can combine or modify the outputs of
other noise modules in various ways; you can join these modules
together to generate very complex coherent noise.
Sidplay 2 is the second in the Sidplay series originally developed by Michael
Schwendt. This version is written by Simon White and is cycle accurate for
improved sound reproduction. Sidplay 2 is capable of playing all C64 mono and
stereo file formats.
Libxmp loads the module and renders the sound as linear PCM samples in a buffer
at rate and format specified by the user. Applications for libxmp include
players, module information extractors, module-to-mp3 renderers, etc.
Freealut is a free implementation of the OpenAL Utility Toolkit
(ALUT).
It is well suited to producing succinct demo programs and to help
new developers to get started with OpenAL without distractions
such as loading sound samples from disk.
This is an application for generating MusicIP puids.
AcoustID fingerprinter is a cross-platform GUI application that
uses Chromaprint to submit audio fingerprints from your music
collection to the AcoustID database. Only tagged audio files are
submitted. Files tagged by MusicBrainz applications such as Picard
or Jaikoz are preferred, but it will submit fingerprints for any
files that have tags such as track title, artist name, album name,
etc.
Adplay is a command line AdLib player using the adplug library. It supports
many AdLib formats such as HSP and HSC.
Aften is an audio encoder which generates compressed audio streams based
on ATSC A/52 specification. This type of audio is also known as AC-3 or
Dolby(R) Digital and is one of the audio codecs used in DVD-Video
content.
Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3, MP4,
Ogg, Flac, and more) and managing playlists. The design focus is on
integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music
playback over a local network.
LV2 is a standard for plugins and matching host applications, mainly targeted at
audio processing and generation.
LV2 is a simple but extensible successor of LADSPA, intended to address the
limitations of LADSPA which many applications have outgrown.
