APIs Platform Independent Libraries for Sound and MIDI is supported by the National Science Foundation What is ? is a set of API s and library implementations for music and other media. is open-source and runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. Currently, libraries support Audio I/O and MIDI I/O. Who is ? is the result of discussion among many computer music researchers and developers. After considering many options, the group decided to endorse the work of Phil Burk and Ross Bencina who created the PortAudio library. Supporters and users of are listed below. Our goal is to extend the PortAudio foundation to support MIDI, sound files, and perhaps other basic music software interfaces. You can help! Why ? users benefit from simple clean interfaces for sound input and output. is maintained by a community: the more we share, the less we write and maintain. No other cross-platform APIs enjoy a support community. Where is ?
