Toot Software

Toot Software provides open source Java models and frameworks for Audio, MIDI and Music Theory problem domains. These domains are modelled with minimal coupling, namely audio mixer automation is saved as MIDI files and MIDI synthesizers generate audio. Toot Software source is intended for use by experienced developers, simple demonstration applications are provided for certain features but no 'full' user applications are provided.

Frinika, a Java music workstation application, makes substantial use of much of the Toot audio domain model.
