Home > JACK Audio Connection Kit
The JACK Audio Connection Kit or JACK is a soundserver or daemon that provides low latency connections between so-called jackified applications. It is created by Paul Davis and others and licensed under the GPL. JACK is free audio software. It can use ALSA, PortAudio and (still experimental) OSS as its back-end. As of 2003 it runs on Linux and Mac OS X.

Some software that works with JACK:
- qjackctl [1] is a Qt based tool to control JACK.
- Ardour, a hard disk recorder
- SuperCollider, a realtime audio programming language
- CheeseTracker
- XMMS, using xmms-jack
- Freqtweak [2] is a program that allows for individually tweaking the frequency bands.
- Demeter can show distortion in JACK systems and AD/DA converters
- JACK Rack
- JACK Timemachine is a simple program to record sounds that would otherwise have been lost
- LADCCA [3] is the Linux Audio Developer's Configuration and Connection API, a session management system for audio applications
- Meterbridge
- MusEThere is also a streaming audio server called MuSE. MusE is a MIDI/ Audio sequencer with recording and editing capabilities written by Werner Schweer. MusE aims to be a complete multitrack virtual studio for Linux (it currently has no support under other [4], a Qt-based MIDI/audio sequencerThe word sequencer can mean: a microsequencer in a computer CPU a music sequencer in the field of electronic music a DNA sequencer or a protein sequencer in the field of biology Sequencer (album) .
- PyJack PythonPython is an interpreted, interactive programming language created by Guido van Rossum in 1990, originally as a scripting language for Amoeba OS capable of making system calls. Python is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, Java and Ruby. Python is develo module to provide an interface to the JACK server
- Pure dataPure Data (or pd is a graphical programming language developed by Miller Puckette in the 1990s for the creation of interactive computer music and multimedia works. Though Puckette is the primary author of the software, Pd is an open source project and has - a graphical programming language for multimedia
- libjackasyn is a library that converts programs written for the OSS system into JACK-aware applications.
- ZynAddSubFXZynAddSubFX is an open source software synthesizer for Linux and Windows. For sound generation it has three hybrid synth engines that combines additive, subtractive, Fourier and other synthesis methods. No external samples are used to produce the sound; e - a opensource software synthesizer
