Glitch Sequencer
Free MIDI music tool for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Not strictly for making ‘glitch’ music, it utilizes cellular automata to create generative compositions:
Glitch Sequencer is a free cellular automaton based MIDI sequencer for the PC and Mac. It offers an interesting style of composition based on evolving patterns and is great for fast, fluid experimentation. Glitch Sequencer was written by Bret Truchan in Processing using themidibus MIDI library.

Pianola Demonstration
Pianola: mechanical piano: a mechanically operated piano that uses a roll of perforated paper to activate the keys

My design aim was for a minimalistic interface, with configurability at the sound module end, leaving the instrument itself simple and effective.
That being said, the Misa digital guitar software is open source, and powered by the Linux operating system. This means programmers have the flexibility to modify how it works, and even change the interface to provide specific functionality. This is important because collaboration from the users themselves, experimenting and innovating in their own ways, will further improve the instrument.
The Misa digital guitar is a MIDI controller. It must be plugged into a MIDI capable sound module. The sound of this instrument is limited only by what you connect to it.
Specifications: Linux kernel 2.6.31 (Gentoo); 24 frets; touchscreen; MIDI out; Ethernet; and SSH server.Link to Misa homepage

Fully Fitted / That Ol’ Billy Ripken: Introducing, The Dadsampler
Big time inspired by FlossyFX, the DadSampler let’s you load your own sounds and makes available the plethora of ways you can pass control data into max (keyboard, midi, wiimote, workin on iPhone, etc). It’s a bit crude, but gets the job done and runs behind Serato perfectly. I’m definitely into supporting/taking it further but I really just work on it whenever I find the time so it’s been slow going. I started learning Max back in my college days (not that long ago) and this is kind of a fun way for me to keep up with it and have something practical for gigs. But now for the good news:
Now that Max 5 Runtime is out, you can run this little patch on your very own machine! Forgive the tech talk, I’ve put together a simple walk through to get you going at the link below. Nab it and let me know if it crashes.
PC folks hold tight. I’ve got to compile that one separately. Got some homies working on that along with other improvements. If you’re a programming head and grab that source code let me know what you’re up to with it, and holler at that cc license as well, tryin to keep it open source. Thanks for trying it out and holler with any questions!
