TuxGuitar is a multitrack guitar tablature editor
and player written in Java-SWT. It can open
GuitarPro, PowerTab, and TablEdit files.

Hydrogen is a simple real-time Drum machine/sequencer. It features a graphical user interface based on Qt, a sample-based audio engine, Jack/ALSA/OSS/PortAudio and Export to disk audio drivers, ALSA MIDI input, ability to import/export XML-based song and drumkit files, 192 ticks per pattern, 16 voices with volume, mute, solo, ADSR, and pan capabilities, and import of samples in wave, au, and aiff format.

GENPO (GENeral Purpose Organ) is a program which replicates the essential features of any pipe, theatre, or reed organ. It reads a description of an organ (a .org XML file) and presents a suitable user interface for operating that organ. There are a number of high quality organ "SoundFonts" freely available and the .org file maps the stop sounds to organ manuals and stops. Other facilities such and couplers and presets are available. You may connect one or more MIDI keyboards to GENPO to provide the organ manuals, and you can even assign one to be the 'pedalboard' if so desired.

InfoList is a sim­ple console application that lets you ed­it the IN­FO list chunk in a RIFF (Re­source In­ter­change File For­mat) file, such as WAVE, RMID, and AVI.

smf2rmid and rmid2smf are two com­mand line util­i­ties that let you con­vert be­tween SMF (Stan­dard MI­DI File) and RMID (RIFF MI­DI) for­mat. An RMID file is merely a wrapper around a Standard MIDI File; the original file is unmodified.

PD (Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. It is the third major branch of the family of patcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS, ISPW Max, Max/MSP, jMax, etc.).

mididings is a MIDI router and processor for ALSA and JACK MIDI. It supports filtering and modifying MIDI events in many different ways, and allows for seamless switching between different patches even while playing. mididings is scriptable and extensible in Python, while the core MIDI processing code is written in C++ in order to allow low latencies and realtime usage.

TrueMusic is a pure Java music player that supports MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Ogg FLAC, Native FLAC, Speex, WAV, AU, AIFF, SND, and MIDI. It will attempt to match the native look and feel. It requires Java 6 or later.

lv2-c++-tools is a software package containing
static libraries and programs that should make it
easier to write LV2 plugins.

MusE is a multitrack virtual studio for Linux. It supports real-time editing of both MIDI and audio in an integrated environment. It has support for LADSPA and DSSI plugins (with Win VST support), JACK, and ALSA-MIDI output and input as well as internal softsynths. Numerous MIDI editors are available, including a piano roll, score editor, and drum editor.
There is full automation for both MIDI and audio.

Frinika is a free, complete music workstation
program for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X Tiger, and
other operating systems running Java 1.5
(J2SE5.0). It features a sequencer, soft-synths,
real-time effects, and audio recording.

Horgand is a graphical FM real time organ with
auto-accompaniment. It is JACK capable, with DSP
effects to emulate and store organ sounds. It is
available either standalone or as a DSSI plugin.

Minicomputer is a standalone Linux realtime
software synthesizer for creating experimental
electronic sounds as they are often used in but
not limited to industrial music, IDM, EBM, Glitch,
sound design, and minimal electronic. It is
monophonic but can produce up to 8 different
sounds at the same time, so its good e.g. for drum
synthesis. It uses JACK as a real-time audio
infrastructure and can be controlled via MIDI. The
synthesis is advanced subtractive: two oscillators
generate complex waveforms going into a morphing
formant filter. An additional oscillator, 7
envelopes, a delay line, and flexible modulation
routing for each sound voice gives the sound
designer possibilities like a modular synthesizer
without the hassle. Instant recall with 512 sound
programs and 128 multi sets make it a good
companion for the next laptop gig.
