Wired project aims to be a professional music production and creation software running on the Linux operating system. Wired supports unlimited Audio/Midi tracks playback and recording, and introduces a Plugin system for instruments and effects. It can also read AKAI CDs and import 18 different Wave formats.
The following instruments and effects are being developed:
Loop sampler, with pitch shifting and time-stretching
Beatbox with a new editing concept, to create reallistic and complex drum sequences
MIDI controlled sampler, which can read AKAI program and sample files.
High-pass, Low-pass and Notch filters
Compressor/Limiter
Delay
Wired is composed of a Audio/MIDI sequencer and a rack based plugin system, which enables you to record your instruments and mix them with electronic effects at the same time. The user interface of Wired has been designed to make it easy for professionals or beginners to compose music in a software based environment.
Wired targets the Linux operating system, and uses GTK and wxWindows for the graphic interface. It supports the ALSA sound architecture and OSS for Audio and MIDI I/O.
