 * '''Loris''' - Loris is an Open Source C++ class library implementing analysis, manipulation, and synthesis of digitized sounds using the Reassigned Bandwidth-Enhanced Additive Sound Model. Loris supports modified resynthesis and manipulations of the model data, such as time- and frequency-scale modification and sound morphing. Loris includes support and wrapper code for building extension modules for various scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Perl). [http://www.cerlsoundgroup.org/Loris/ >]

 * '''mpgedit''' - mpgedit is an MPEG 1 layer 1/2/3 (mp3), MPEG 2, and MPEG 2.5 audio file editor that is capable of processing both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoded files. mpgedit can cut an input MPEG file into one or more output files, as well as join one or more input MPEG files into a single output file. Since no file decoding / encoding occurs during editing, there is no audio quality loss when editing with mpgedit. A python development toolkit enables Python developers to utilize the core mpgedit API, providing access to mp3 file playback, editing and indexing functionality. [http://www.mpgedit.org/mpgedit/ >]

 * '''PyMedia''' - PyMedia is a Python module for the multimedia purposes. It provides rich and simple interface for the digital media manipulation( wav, mp3, ogg, avi, divx, dvd, cdda etc ). It includes parsing, demutiplexing, multiplexing, coding and decoding. It can be compiled for Windows, Linux and cygwin. [http://pymedia.org >]

 * '''Pytone''' - Pytone is a music jukebox written in Python with a curses based GUI. While providing advanced features like crossfading and multiple players, special emphasis is put on ease of use, turning PyTone into an ideal jukebox system for use at parties. [http://www.luga.de/pytone/ >]

Alphabetical as of yet non-comprehensive list of music / sound processing / audio software which uses python in some way or the other.

  • AthenaCL - AthenaCL is an open-source, cross-platform, command-line program that functions as both a pitch (class) set theory utility (capable of both set and voice-leading modeling and analysis) as well as an object-orientated, Python-scriptable algorithmic front-end to Csound. Combining these features allows rapid and flexible scoring of Csound instruments with the elegance of Python-written texture algorithms. These simple algorithms allow the organization of pitch-materials by ordered content-groups, employing 12-tone set-class and pitch-class notations. Rather than writing its own music, AthenaCL is a compositional assistant: the algorithms create complex textural surfaces, leaving the limitless mixture and placement of these textures and their attributes entirely in the hands of the composer. [http://www.flexatone.net/athena.html >]

  • blue - blue is a java program for use with Csound. It's interface is much like a digital multitrack, but differs in that there timelines within timelines (polyObjects). This allows for a compositional organization in time that seems to me to be very intuitive, informative, and flexible. soundObjects are the building blocks within blue's score timeline. soundObjects can be lists of notes, algorithmic generators, python script code, csound instrument definitions, and whatever plugins that are developed for blue. these soundObjects may be text based, but they can be completely GUI based as well. [http://csounds.com/stevenyi/blue/index.html >]

  • Csound / CsoundVST - Csound is a programming language designed and optimized for sound rendering and signal processing. The language consists of over 450 opcodes - the operational codes that the sound designer uses to build "instruments" or patches. Although there are an increasing number of graphical "front-ends" for the language, you typically design and modify your patches using a word processor. Usually, you create two text files - a .orc (orchestra) file containing the "instruments," and a .sco (score) file containing the "notes." In Csound, the complexity of your patches is limited by your knowledge, interest, and need, but never by the language itself. For instance, a 22,050 oscillator additive synthesizer with 1024 stage envelope generators on each is merely a copy-and-paste operation. The same goes for a 1 million voice granular texture! Have you ever dreamed of sounds such as these? Well in Csound you can. And in Csound these dreams can come true! [http://www.csounds.com/ >]

  • dublin - Dublin is an object oriented framework to generate events in pd, short for [http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/ Pure Data], a graphical Computer Music System written by [http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/ Miller S. Puckette]. Every object is defined in python and then it interacts with other objects in pure-data. The goal is not only the provide an external python facility to pd but also to give the functionality of a sequencer. As for the user interface, it uses Idle, the Python IDE to edit and run event scripts. [http://seqdublin.sourceforge.net/ >]

  • GNU Solfege - GNU Solfege is a computer program written to help you practice ear training.It can be useful when practicing the simple and mechanical exercises. [http://solfege.org/ >]

  • Snack - The Snack Sound Toolkit is designed to be used with a scripting language such as Tcl/Tk or Python. Using Snack you can create powerful multi-platform audio applications with just a few lines of code. Snack has commands for basic sound handling, such as playback, recording, file and socket I/O. Snack also provides primitives for sound visualization, e.g. waveforms and spectrograms. It was developed mainly to handle digital recordings of speech, but is just as useful for general audio. Snack has also successfully been applied to other one-dimensional signals. The combination of Snack and a scripting language makes it possible to create sound tools and applications with a minimum of effort. This is due to the rapid development nature of scripting languages. As a bonus you get an application that is cross-platform from start. It is also easy to integrate Snack based applications with existing sound analysis software. [http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/ >]
