We've found so many free and Open Source tools for musicians that we had to create it's own category. Here's a look at the most recent 5 we added.
With JamApp you have complete control of tempo/speed, so you can slow down that difficult riff in order to better hear the notes being played, or just simply isolate the section of the song on a loop.. this would have been a time saver for learning cover songs back in the day.
Everyone Piano can play beautiful and realistic piano notes straight from your PCs keyboard.
The goal of this project was to allow people to learn or improve their piano playing skills. The tones that this piano simulator generates are pretty good and coupled with a decent keyboard you do get a sense of actually playing the real instrument.
Everyone Piano can produce real-time musical performances, with the added realistic touch of properly simulating the pedals of the piano for sustaining notes, etc.
Also, I just wanted to say, pianist. Pianist. Yes, we're that mature.
Jamulus enables musicians to perform real-time jam sessions over the internet.
There is one server running the Jamulus server software which collects the audio data from each Jamulus client, mixes the audio data and sends the mix back to each client.
drumbit for Chrome allows you to create and save drum tracks as .wav audio files.
You can create, save and edit your own rhythm patterns (and also the settings you define) and choose from various drum kits.
drumbit for Chrome is easy to figure out and use, this testing process wound up being a little longer than usual as the successful attempt to match the 'Walk this Way' drum beat took precedence over everything. It is nice to be able to select different drum kits depending on what type of beats you are laying down. And the swing factor gives you the ability to really spice it up.
Unlike the other apps listed here, this one will require you have the Google Chrome web browser installed.
Phonascus is a program for studying music theory that allows you to focus on specific skills and exercises, on both theory and aural training.
The different activities can be customized to meet your needs. Phonascus allows you to work at your own pace, providing interactive feedback until mastery of each concept is achieved.
Phonascus aims to create, as a community, the best free program for music students, to help them in their studies. Phonascus has no commercial purpose and, so, it is licensed under the GNU General Public License, meaning you can use it for free and that you have the right to access the source code and modify it if you like. No cost for you and no time wasted on garbage like registration codes, copy protection or advertisements.
