about

This site was founded to file and preserve DSP (digital signal processing) audio software and resources. The programs listed below offer tools for composition, editing, synthesis and complex processing of digital audio, principally outside of the typical DAW realm.

Please note that many of these applications were written in 32 bit/PowerPC architecture, and therefore may not function under modern operating systems. However, some programs may be successfully emulated in a virtual machine.
