Basic Pitch is an open source audio-to-MIDI converter from Spotify that features pitch bend detection. It works on recordings of almost any single instrument, including voice, and converts audio files into MIDI files that can be edited in a digital audio workstation. It is available as an online demo.
Rosegarden is a music composition and editing environment for Linux built around a MIDI sequencer with music notation understanding and basic digital audio support. It is described as aimed at composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments.
Vital is a spectral warping wavetable synthesizer. Its spectral oscillator warping acts on a waveform's harmonics to create different shapes and timbres. Users can convert their own samples into wavetables with the pitch-splice or vocode converter, or use the built-in wavetable editor. The interface includes animated controls, filter responses, waveforms and spectrograms.
Audacity is a free, open-source audio editor and recorder. It can cut, trim, split, reverse and mix audio, apply effects such as reverb, compressor and distortion, reduce noise and remove vocals. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, supports major audio formats and third-party plugins, and includes AI transcription.
The IEM Plug-in Suite is a free and open-source audio plugin suite created by staff and students of the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics. It includes Ambisonic plug-ins up to 7th order, such as the RoomEncoder and StereoEncoder. Documentation covers topics including Ambisonics formats, configuration files and OSC control.
Element is a modular plugin host for Mac, Windows and Linux. It is used to build effect racks and instruments and to route audio and MIDI, running on stage or as a plugin inside a DAW. It is free and open source under GPLv3, with development funded by its users. It supports CLAP and LV2 alongside VST, VST3 and AU.
Helm is a free, cross-platform polyphonic synthesizer with a powerful modulation system by Matt Tytel. It runs on GNU/Linux, Mac and Windows as a standalone program or as an LV2, VST, VST3 or AU plugin. Helm is free software, with source code that can be studied, changed and redistributed.
