FluidSynth, formerly named iiwusynth, is a free open source software synthesizer which converts MIDI note data into an audio signal using SoundFont technology without need for a SoundFont-compatible soundcard. FluidSynth can act as a virtual MIDI device, able to receive MIDI data from any program and transform it into audio on-the-fly.
SynthFont is a program for editing and playing MIDI files using various sound source files like soundfonts, GigaSampler files, SFZ files and more. VST (Virtual Studio Technology) instruments can also be used instead of a sound source file. A MIDI file is a collection of notes and instructions for how to play them.
It supports samples, VST plugins and OPL3 instruments [13] as sound sources. OpenMPT makes use of features common to Microsoft Windows programs, such as context menus for effect selection, "tree" views (for files, samples, and patterns), drag and drop functionality throughout, and the native look and feel of the Windows platform.
[10] On December 22, 2024, version 1.3.0 was released, with several new modules, enhancements and many bug fixes. [11] A nightly build is available as well (updated every commit), with a lot of unreleased features and fixes. As this is a development release, it can also have some potential instability, but is generally stable. [12]

LV2 (LADSPA Version 2) is a set of royalty-free open standards [2] for music production plug-ins and matching host applications. It includes support for the synthesis and processing of digital audio and CV, [3] events such as MIDI and OSC, and provides a free alternative to audio plug-in standards such as Virtual Studio Technology (VST) and Audio Units (AU).
TiMidity++, originally and still frequently informally called TiMidity, is a software synthesizer that can play MIDI files without a hardware synthesizer. [2] It can either render to the sound card in real time, or it can save the result to a file, such as a PCM.wav file.
CLever Audio Plug-in or CLAP is an open source software architecture, application programming interface and reference implementation suite for audio effect plugins as used in multimedia software such as digital audio workstations, audio editing software, and video editing software with integrated audio workflows.
