Welcome to the VioLet Composer website

VioLet Composer is a tool for writing music from scratch using only a single x86 compatible PC with a soundcard. Besides providing a complete composing toolkit in one application, VioLet Composer has the following advantages over other products:

• Open Source: VioLet Composer is completely open source, written in C#. This, along with a design philosophy that envisages future expansion in all areas, means it has much greater scope for future expansion than a shareware or even a commercial product.
• Modular: VioLet Composer allows third parties to improve the program by plugging in new sound processing extensions, which can be developed at run-time using the application itself. The source code itself also allows for easy future expansion by third-parties.
• Multi-Space: Using wavelets as the basis for audio processing (as well as 'normal' PCM) and using not two but four machine types to do out-of-order sound processing allows for a huge range of new and interesting techniques and effects.
• C# Machines: Using simple C# code files for plugins means anyone can develop new parts of VioLet Composer, and in fact you can do it on the fly from within the program without having to download a single SDK or IDE.
• Extensible Sample Bank: The sample bank in VioLet Composer can already hold regular samples, envelopes and waveforms, and the possibilities for future development are limitless. This design approach has been used in as many places as possible in VioLet Composer.

The VioLet Composer project is presently looking for help in many areas. Specifically we desperately need to talk to Linux users who have had experience with audio and C#. All suggestions and feedback are welcome, please contact the developer or visit the project site at SourceForge.net.
