Awesome

Lisp logo


This is a list of awesome application software built with Common Lisp.

We want to keep the 'master' list curated. If you want to uncurated list, see complete list branch.

Table of Contents

Applications

Audio

  • OpusModus - a comprehensive computer-aided environment for the whole work of music composition. Proprietary.
  • OpenMusic visual programming / computer-aided composition environment. [GPL3][2].
    • developped at IRCAM, France. The base of other research projects and software, such as MusiqueLab2, distributed by France's ministry of education to all music teachers.
  • OM7 - a new implementation of the OpenMusic visual programming and computer-aided composition environment including a number of improvements on graphical interface, computational mode, and connection to external software libraries. [GPL3][2].
  • ScoreCloud - A web and mobile application to automatically create music notation from music performance or recordings. Built with LispWorks.
  • 👍 MusicEase - Music notation software, developed for over 35 years. Proprietary.
    • "MusicEase is a constraint-based system with a large amount of knowledge of music notation. This allows it to intelligently handle many of the details of scoring automatically."
    • a LispWorks success story.
    • includes a fully functional demo, free for 30 days (printouts are watermarked). Available on Windows and MacOS.
  • Common Music - the repository of an ancient version of Common Music (version 2.12.0), the presumably last version which ran on Common Lisp dating from around 2007-09, before work on Common Music shifted to (scheme-based) cm3.
  • Incudine - Music/DSP programming environment for Common Lisp. Useful to design software synthesizers or sound plugins from scratch. It is also a compositional tool that allows to produce high quality sounds controllable at the sample level, defining and redefining the digital signal processors and the musical structures on-the-fly.

Contributors

Thanks to All of Github contributors and Everyone @ reddit.com/r/lisp ad r/Common_Lisp/ for many suggestions and compliments.

Guidelines to contribute

Please follow this format of the list [Appname](#link) - description. [License]. if you want to make a contribution.

  • Put the name of the application and link to its homepage in the list.
  • Write a short description for the application.
  • Add a license in the end of the list. see the list format above
  • Make sure it is put under the appropriate topic.
  • If the application doesn't fit in any existing topic, make a new one for it.
  • Sort the item by its popularity.
    • we come up with this approach since alphabetically sorted make people unnoticed which app has more active development and which app unmaintained or abandoned.

Unsure how to contribute?

Note

  • You can learn about licenses in tl;drLegal
  • There are so many Applications buit with Lisp, but most of them are more than 20 years old, this list will be endless as Rainer Joswig said, so here I wil only include the relevant application.
