Lyricue 1.9.10
Lyricue is used to edit/display song lyrics on a second screen/projector for use at singing events such as church services. more>>
With Lyricue you are not restricted to setting everything up before the event as you can add, remove and change songs on the fly. You can edit a song while it is up on the screen and quickly show your changes (good for when you notice a misspelling or the singers decide to change the words on you). You can even type up notes directly to the screen or quickly display a bible verse at an instants notice.

DansTuner 0.83
DansTuner project is a program that tells you if you are playing a pitch in tune. more>>
Major features include automatic discovery of which note you are trying to play (good for trumpet, singer, etc.), the ability to play a guide tone at a configurable volume, a graphical moving "needle" with a red/green display and detail about how flat or sharp you are, and an easily configurable background noise threshold.
Main features:
- takes audio from the default device
- if it is above a background noise level, detects the pitch
- takes the difference between that pitch and an "ideal" (equal-tempered) pitch, and shows you that difference
- plays a guide tone along with you to help you tune
Synaesthesia 2.3
Synaesthesia graphically represents music in real time as a shimmering field of fog and glowing lines. more>>
The screenshots to the right dont really do justice to the display, which writhes in tight synchrony to the music you play.
Synaesthesias display combines information about the frequency, location and diffuseness of sound.
The display is sufficiently detailed to let you distinguish several individual instruments, singers, or special effects on screen by their location, shape and color, and sufficiently fast to distinguish individual drum beats and notes.
Synaesthesia runs under Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.
Main features:
- Displays sound from CD or line input, piped from another program, or through EsounD.
- Display incorporates stereo and surround sound information.
- Can be used as a CD player
- Svgalib, X-Windows and SDL support
Synaesthesia works well in tandem with EsounD based mp3 players, such as XMMS.
Synaesthesia is free software distributed under GPL.
delfin 20030216
delfin 20030216 is an excellent tool that was specially designed to be a realtime software sampler for Linux. more>>
Have you ever gone out to find a hardware to create contemporary music (Hip-hop, Jungle, Techno, ...) with considerable price? Did you know that you can use your humble computer to do the same job?
And then a sampler needs lots of memory, so you got to spend more quids upgrading it. The sound quality of delfin and its actual interface doesn't come near that of a real harware sampler, but it might become a full-grown, all-mighty, powerful sea singer.
Instructions:
- In the delfin directory just type: install.sh
- This will move the delfin executable to any of your binary paths.
Enhancements: 16-02-2003
- It has grown a little bit in size, but it is much modular now.
- The on-line help will be a big surprise for all of you who didn't understand how to work with delfin.
- Added a test module, Discrete Fourier Transform, that can be used as equalizer.
Requirements:
- Linux with soundcard
- ncurses library
- gcc compiler
Performous 0.3.1
A free Linux karaoke game more>>
Performous 0.3.1 is created to be a karaoke program that can both display the lyrics, notes but also display how well you actually hit the notes. Unlike in many other games in this genre, you will also see the pitch that you are singing, so that you can see what you are doing wrong and easily (well, everything is relative) correct your pitch.
Most of the songs available also contain the original vocals and actual karaoke versions are rare.How it works? The game records your voice via a microphone, attached to your computer. The audio is recorded and realtime FFT analysis is done on it. This analysis reveals which frequency bands contain audio (peaks).
Further analysis is used to find out the exact audio frequencies inside each band, and to combine base frequencies and their harmonics into single tones. Finally, some temporal (over time) filtering is applied to the detected tones to smooth out the output. It doesn't matter if you didn't take university courses on acoustics and mathematics, and none of that makes any sense: you will get a wave on screen, displaying your singing pitch.
Scoring and note types
- Regular notes: displayed in light blue (1x points)
- Golden notes: displayed in gold (2x points)
- Freestyle notes: displayed in green, pitch does not matter (1x points)
The singing octave does not matter, so as long as you get the right note in any octave, you will get full points. Singing near the correct note also gives some points, but the amount of points per second decreases as you get farther from the right tone. Singing within the right semitone always gives full points, so you may actually be off by a quarter tone and still get the points.
The maximum number of points is always 10000, but it is practically unreachable in real songs, usual scores being in the range of 2000-9000, depending mostly on the skills of the singer, but also on the song: even though the maximum is the same, slower songs are generally easier to sing.
Oh, and in case you were wondering: you will not get full points by placing the microphone near a speaker, because it will also pick up other instruments, which usually have incorrect pitch. Expect to get about 3000 points with this method.
Major Features :
- Should work on almost any platform
- Primary platform is Linux (where the development is done)
- OS X is known to work well
- Windows should be possible by just compiling the program from source (please let us know if you try)
- Playstation 3 works but is unplayable (needs OpenGL acceleration)
- Very accurate singing pitch detection
- Noisy environments are not an issue
- Multiple simultaneous tones can be detected and separated properly
- OpenGL-based graphics rendering
- Music videos as backgrounds
- Based on ffmpeg (supports almost all formats)
Enhancements:
- Multiplayer with Singstar mics or any other stereo input
- Dramatically improved performance, runs fine on very slow machines now
- Fully OpenGL-based (some kind of 3D acceleration is now mandatory, but even Intel works fine)
- Heavily pimped graphics in singing screen
- Automatically zooming notelines in singing screen
- Real widescreen support (adaptive layout instead of stretching or cropping)
- Song folders are now scanned recursively, in the background without blocking the UI
- Ingame and preview volume may be controlled
- Audio roundtrip latency and audio/video sync controls added
- New score window (still no highscores)
- New menu theme song
- Separate game engine thread, so that slow graphics rendering should no longer affect pitch detection
- Our own audio library libda, supporting ALSA, Pulseaudio, JACK and others
- FFMPEG-based video and audio decoding (together with libda replaces Xine and GStreamer)
- CMake-based build (Autotools are gone for good)
Requirements:
- Graphics chip with OpenGL acceleration (e.g. GF2 MX400)
- Pentium III 700 MHz or comparable CPU
- A microphone
TocaRaul! 0.1 pre3
TocaRaul! is a playlist manager intended to be used with icecast2, and ices2 to stream ogg vorbis files over the network. more>>
TocaRaul! is still in a very early stage of development, but it already has the basic functions to be considered usable.
This name is a tribute to Raul Seixas. He was a Brazilian rocknroll singer who died in 1989 by a heart attack. He still has many fans. Some of these fans use to scream "Toca Raul!!!" (in english its like: "Play Raul!!!") in many rocknroll shows (and other ones too) in Brazil.
Enhancements:
- Improvements were made to the addsong script.
- An entire album can be added to the playslist.
- An entire directory can be added to the database.
- A small play history was implemented.
- Many other minors improvements were made.
