Pure Data

Programming / Visual Programming

Pure Data is visual programming with boxes and cables for audio, data and whatever else you decide to connect. Small patches have a documented tendency to become spaghetti.

HTML5 Bytebeat

Programming / Live Code

A browser playground where tiny JavaScript formulas become music, noise and visual chaos. Change one number, discover a groove by accident and spend the next hour afraid to touch it.

mathematical

Formula

Programming / Live Code

Write audio effects in C, compile them while they run and hear the result immediately. Formula is basically a small laboratory for people who would rather code the effect themselves.

Ableton Live Extensions SDK

Programming / Software Development Kit

Write JavaScript or TypeScript tools that can inspect and change an Ableton Live Set. Useful when Live almost does what you want and you are sufficiently annoyed to automate the rest.

Tracktion Engine

Programming / Sound Engine

Tracktion Engine gives C++ developers the machinery behind a DAW without making them build one from nothing. Tracks, clips, plugins, MIDI and playback are already invited.

JUCE

Programming / Framework

JUCE is the C++ framework behind a ridiculous number of audio plugins and applications. DSP, GUI, MIDI, plugin formats and plenty of things you really did not want to implement twice.

Tidal Cycles

Programming / Live Code

A live coding instrument by Alex McLean where patterns become music, Haskell enters the club and changing the code mid-performance is not a bug but very much the point.
