List Of Music Software - Music Software

This is a list of notable software for creating, performing, learning, analyzing, researching, broadcasting and editing music. This article only includes software, not services. For streaming services such as iHeartRadio, Pandora, Prime Music, and Spotify, see Comparison of on-demand streaming music services. For storage, uploading, downloading and streaming of music via the cloud, see Comparison of online music lockers. Although this field is only 46 years old, this list does not include discontinued historic or legacy software, with the exception of trackers that are still supported. For example, the company Ars Nova produces music education software, and its software program Practica Musica has remnants of the historic Palestrina softwar e. Practica will be listed here, but not Palestrina. If a program fits dozens of categories, such as a comprehensive DAW or a foundation programming language (e.g. Pure Data), listing is limited to its top three categories.

Music mining software

Music mining is a relatively new field of research and application under music informatics, data mining and, more generally, signal processing. Commercially, music mining software is used to select and predict patterns that then enhance suggestions based on previous choices. In research, music mining is similar to data mining as a pattern recognition and sorting / classifying discipline, however, music mining also includes automated music analysis based on underlying mathematical and statistical patterns, extending and augmenting the traditional analysis of harmony, melody, timbre, rhythm, etc. found in Music Analysis (For example, signal processing of radio waves has no subjective emotional component or preference, whereas music mining and processing do, since radio waves cannot be heard by humans, and music frequencies and amplitudes can. This is a controversial and unsettled component of music mining research). Since this field is so new, many of the academic software programs (a majority GNU / freeware) do not yet have wiki articles; see the references and links for examples.

Music notation software

Music player software

Music research software

Music technology, synthesis and o/s software

Music visualization software

Orchestration software

Drums and Percussion

Full orchestra

Guitar

Piano

Pipe organ

Aeolus (organ simulator) open source pipe organ emulator that uses synthesis rather than sampling.
Hauptwerk produces audio in response to MIDI signal from attached keyboard or from a MIDI sequencer. Most software organs have only a few organ sounds, such as "Church Organ", "Jazz Organ", etc. A Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ has samples of every note of every included rank (or set) of pipes, and each stop can be programmed individually, allowing the player to use sampled organ stops separately or combine them into an ensemble.
