Bristol은 신디사이저 에뮬레이터 어플리케이션입니다. Bristol은 PCM을 생성할 수 있는 사운드 카드를 사용하며 MIDI를 조작할 수 있습니다. 더욱이, 이 프로그 램은 오디오 관련 프로세스 실행시 우선순위를 낮출 수 있도록, 커널의 짧은 대 기시간 스케쥴링 기법을 사용할 수 있습니다. 이 프로그램은 여러 신디사이저를 조작할 수 있습니다 (에뮬레이트되는 신디사이저는 모두 같은 엔진에 연결됩니 다.). 이 프로그램은 한개의 미디 채널에 여러 신디사이저로 키보드를 나누거나 겹치도록 할 수 있습니다. 현재 Bristol 다음 키보드를 에뮬레이트 할 수 있습니다: Moog Mini, Moog Voyager (Bristol "Explorer"), Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, Roland Juno-6, Yamaha DX-7, Hammond (Single manual), Hammond B3 (dual Manual).

PHASEX is an experimental JACK audio / ALSA MIDI softsynth for Linux with a synth engine built around flexible phase modulation and flexible oscillator/LFO sourcing.

Modulations include AM, FM, offset PM, and wave select. PHASEX comes equipped with a 12db/octave filter with two distortion curves, a stereo crossover delay and chorus with phaser, ADSR envelopes for amplifier and filter, realtime audio input processing capabilities, velocity/aftertouch sensitivity, and more.

Pure Data (also known as Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio and graphics processing. Pd's audio functions are built-in; graphical computations require separate packages such as gem (Graphics Environment for Multimedia) or pd-pdp (Pd Packet).

Aeolus is a synthesised (i.e. not sampled) pipe organ emulator that should be good enough to make an organist enjoy playing it. It is a software synthesiser optimised for this job, with possibly hundreds of controls for each stop, that enable the user to "voice" his instrument.

Main features of the default instrument: three manuals and one pedal, five different temperaments, variable tuning, MIDI control of course, stereo, surround or Ambisonics output, flexible audio controls including a large church reverb.

Aeolus is not very CPU-hungry, and should run without problems on a e.g. a 1GHz, 256Mb machine.

This JACK program is a port of the free VST plugin AZR-3. It is a tonewheel organ with drawbars, distortion and rotating speakers. The original was written by Rumpelrausch Täips.

The organ has three sections, two polyphonic with 9 drawbars each and one monophonic bass section with 5 drawbars. The two polyphonic sections respond to events on MIDI channel 1 and 2, and an optional keyboard split function makes the bass section listen to the lower keys on channel 1.

The three sections have separate sustain and percussion switches as well as separate volume controls, and the two polyphonic sections have separate vibrato settings. All three sections are mixed and sent through the distortion effect and the rotating speakers simulator, where the modulation wheel can be used to switch between fast and slow rotation, and the fast and slow rotation speeds themselves can be changed separately for the lower and upper frequencies.

YC-20은 60년말에 설계된 divide-down 콤보 오르간입니다. 이 에뮬레이션은 오리 지날 오르간의 기능, 소리 및 결함까지도 충실하게 복사했습니다.

기능:

  • 61 건반
  • 두개의 메인 보이스 섹션
  • 전환 가능한 베이스 섹션
  • 제네레이터 + 메트릭스 믹서 => 동시발음 제한 없음
  • 실제 오르간에서 발견되는 결함을 더하기 위한 실제 제어

결함:

  • CPU 파워를 많이 사용
  • 터치 비브라토 없음

이 에뮬레이션은 파우스트로 작성되었으며 오디오 및 미디를 위해 Jack을 사용합 니다.

LinuxSampler is sampler backend, thus server-like console application. It provides a TCP based network interface with a custom ASCII based protocol called "LSCP" to control the sampler and manage sampler sessions. Users either have to send commands manually to LinuxSampler, e.g. by connecting via 'telnet' or by using 'netcat' or they might want to use a graphical user interface (frontend) like QSampler (C++/Qt based).

It also offers disk streaming capability and supports the Gigasampler format which is currently considered to be the best sampler format in regards of possibilities and sound quality.

This package provides the backend application of LinuxSampler.
