In the Netherlands there is software that is available for free, the so-called Public Domain Software, and there is also software which is developed and brought on the market commercially. This list gives an overview of interesting projects. Should you have any additions to this list, please contact us.

Jazzperiments jam is an interactive music application. The main objective is to produce an interesting musical response on musical input, thus creating an environment which is fun to play in.  The application picks up sound, determines the pitch using Fast Fourier Transform, processes only the notes of the selected scale, transposes notes with selected intervals, delays notes with selected rests, plays notes with selected midi instruments or recorded samples.
