Software
By me:
-
Cembalo
Sample player used in the piece Stycke för cembalo och elektronik. -
MHSho
SuperCollider class mimicing the behaviour of the Japanese mouth-organ shō.
Used in the piece Hypothermia for bass drum. -
Gamba
Sample player for playing back samples of string instruments.
Used in the piece Breathing, bowing.
By others:
-
REAPER
Affordable and extremely extensive and customizable digital audio workstation. -
SuperCollider
“A platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists and researchers working with sound.” -
MuseScore
Free and open source notation software. Works out-of-the-box with the HEJI notation system, but no hassle-free microtonal playback as far as I understand it.
