ARts
aRts, which stands for analog Real time syntheziser, is an application that simulates an analog synthesizer under KDE/Linux. One key component of aRts is the soundserver which mixes several soundstreams in realtime. The soundserver called aRtsd (d for Daemon) is also utilized as the standard soundserver for KDE. The soundserver is not dependent on KDE and can be used in other projects. The aRts platform also includes aRts Builder - an application for building custom layouts and configurations for audio mixers, sequencers, synthesizers and other audio schemas via a user-friendly Graphical user interface.
