sforzando is a free, highly SFZ 2.0 compliant sample player. Advanced sample hobbyists now have a powerful tool to experiment and share instruments without relying on proprietary formats. sforzando has only one instrument slot; no fancy UI, effects or mixers. Every tweak has to be done at the SFZ file level, no cheating! sforzando is also a name given for a sudden change in music dynamics which, in musical notation, is represented by the “sfz” symbol. Free As In Free Me From Proprietary Formats The SFZ Format is widely accepted as the open standard to define the behavior of a musical instrument from a bare set of sound recordings. Being a royalty-free format, any developer can create, use and distribute SFZ files and players for either free or commercial purposes. So when looking for flexibility and portability, SFZ is the obvious choice. That’s why it’s the default instrument file format used in the ARIA Engine.
It’s a dedicated, integrated & powerful multi-platform generative music editor, mixer, arranger and cell sequencer; and it includes the Partikl Sound Engine, a flexible modular synth with live FX and support for Soundfonts (SF2). Use it for fun, or to to generate high quality, user-customisable, royalty free background music from ambient (relaxation / drone / sleep / meditation etc.) right through to more intense melodic and beat-based mashups. No musical knowledge is required, but as a serious and deep tool it’s also ideal for amateur musicians to composers. That said, as with any power tool, the more you learn about it and how to use it, the more you can get out of it and do with it!
Design, develop and even share your own fascinating generative music soundscapes with Noatikl (pronounced “noh – tickle”), a powerful MIDI music creativity application for both Desktop and Mobile. It lets you control a powerful and generative Noatikl (MIDI) Music Engine (NME) which utilises a range of generative / aleatoric / stochastic / algorithmic music techniques and parameters. For sound design and generation you can use an integrated & advanced modular synth + live FX network called the Partikl Sound Engine (PSE), or use the MIDI data to drive external 3rd party MIDI synths samplers and FX units.

The HarpTime VST synthesizer was designed to reproduce the sound of the plucked folk harp, and uses an advanced physical modeling synthesis in which twelve strings are all individually modeled to allow true sympathetic resonances. The harp has a beautiful sound which is usable in very many musical styles (mediaeval period music, classical, folk, ambient, film music and ballads, for example). However, samples can only reproduce a limited, and somewhat ‘static’ snapshot of a particular real instrument being played. In comparison, physical modeling allowed us to build a VSTi which reproduces the characteristic of a variety of real harps, with more flexibility, control, and dynamics than a sample set will normally provide. HarpTime can reproduce the beautiful of the Celtic harp, as well as that of many similar types, such as Japanese (koto), Paraguayan and African harps.
