Free native instruments software for linux

JavaNativeCompiler (JNC) is a Java to native compiler. The project allows AOT (ahead of time) compilation of your Java applications. With JNC, you can create real standalone native binaries (.exe on Windows) which will no longer depend on a JRE.
This is especially useful when applications have to be deployed to end-users. All vexatious problems of deploying Java applications can be solved by compiling them to native. They will be:
- Easy to deploy
No JRE dependency. Most end-users dont know what they have installed.
No more problems on how to create an executable file out of a JAR or class file.
- Hard to decompile
Java can easily be decompiled. Native compilation will protect your source code.
- Run fast from the start
No more overhead for loading a JRE.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a couple of problems with AWT/Swing and XML.
- It also once again contains a version for Linux.
- The compiler binary downloads are smaller.

Tigermouse is a modern web applications framework for PHP. It relies on AJAX technology, so in pair with being lightweight enables you to build dynamic, responsive and interactive web applications.
It is well suited for enterprise-grade tasks because of its strong commitment to server-side business logic processing. Tigermouse does not require any Javascript coding, so you can focus on your application core logic instead of tinkering in UI.
Main features:
- full native AJAX support
- MVC architecture
- pluggable input/output filters
- AJAX requests queuing and expiring
- powerful ActiveRecord implementation
- SWT or GTK-like user interface implementation
- extensible i18n support
- native support for Smarty templates
Enhancements:
- Database adapter factory.
- Automated DBAdapter retrieval from factory.
- i18n framework.
- Role based access control subsystem.
- In-code documentation update.
- Switched from PEAR Services_JSON to native json library.
- Advanced keyboard listener. Keys to listen to can be defined.
- Global keyboard shortcuts reworked.
- RSS views added.
- User documentation update.

TransJ project is a multilingual desktop translation tool.
It uses SWT for a native look and feel on each OS and a fast UI.
It currently uses the SYSTRAN engine thru the AltaVista BabelFish service.
Supported languages are: English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and others.
There are also plans to implement the Lingvo engine.
Enhancements:
- major 800x600 screen resolution bug fixed

Bakefile project is cross-platform, cross-compiler native makefiles generator. It takes compiler-independent description of build tasks as input and generates native makefile (autoconfs Makefile.in, Visual C++ project, bcc makefile etc.).
Bakefiles task is to generate native makefiles, so that people can keep using their favorite tools. There are other cross-platform make solutions, but they either arent native and require the user to use unfamiliar tools (Boost.Build) or they are too limited (qmake).
Beware that Bakefile is currently under heavy development (version 0.1.x) and is very likely to change significantly and to contain bugs. It is being used for wxWidgets new build system and you can expect it to be usable for production once we fully convert wxWidgets to use it.
Enhancements:
- Bakefile was relicensed from the GPL to the MIT license.
- Support for Visual Studio 2005 project files was added.
- Many small fixes and improvements were made.

CheeseTracker is a software sampler and step-based sequencer. It allows a musician to turn single-note samples into instruments capable of covering three or four octaves (by playing the samples at different speeds, resulting in different pitches). In addition, it is possible to take a collection of samples that are recorded at different octaves, and combine them into a single "instrument," allowing for even more octaves without sampling artifacts.
Using the Pattern Editor, it is possible to compose songs with these instruments that the computer plays automatically. The Pattern Editor allows the user to arrange samples in several independant channels, so that many samples can play simultaneously. These songs, and the samples which comprise their instruments, can be saved together in one-file archives called modules.
CheeseTracker imposes no limits on the length of the samples used. As a result, it can be used as a mixer as well as a sampler/sequencer. Effects such as reverb can be applied to each sample individually, eliminating the need for expensive pedals.
It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
CheeseTracker is modeled after a DOS-based freeware program called Impulse Tracker (which has been abandonware since the late 1990s). It is mostly compatible with Impulse Tracker, being able to load Impulse Tracker files.
Main features:
- Unlimited sample size
- Keymaps: Build instruments that use a range of samples, just like a hardware sampler.
- LADSPA sound effect filters with near-analog quality
- Built-in effect filters:
- Amplifier
- Reverb
- Stereo Chorus
- Echo
- Equalizers: 6, 10, 21, and 31 bands
- Distortion
- Pitch Shift
- Effect filters can be combined.
- Up to 64 simultaneous voices
- Volume, pan, and pitch envelopes with sustain loop
- Built-in sample editor
- Sample loops with forward and ping-pong modes
- Compatible with JACK, ALSA, and OSS audio architectures
- Most functions are accessible from the keyboard
- Plays samples at different pitches to create notes
- Simulated live musical keyboard (using a QWERTY keyboard) can play alongside programmed songs
