The tutorials cover topics including music software design, audio synthesis, digital signal processing, compositional systems, and computer programming concepts.

They draw upon the design and pedagogical skills of digital instrument makers from Australian Universities, with advice from experienced music software developers.

We hope that you find them useful if you are a musician or software programmer interested in making music software and, as a freely available resource, this site will provide support for enthusiasts and professionals in Australia and around the world.

The tutorials on this site focus on software development using the jMusic software toolkit, an open-source software library in the Java language. In the future this site may hold parallel tutorials in other software development environments, such as Max/MSP.
