Software
By me:
- EPL
System for playing phase-locked oscillators, used in the piece EPL. - 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.
