audioja

Audioja is a cross-platform, open-source framework for real-time audio processing and modular synthesis. It provides a node-based graph engine that connects audio signal paths with control data, enabling users to build custom synthesizers, effects chains, and analytical tools. The design emphasizes portability, low latency, and extensibility across desktop, mobile, and embedded environments.

Key features include real-time audio synthesis, multi-channel routing, sample-accurate scheduling, and a rich set of built-in modules such as oscillators, filters, envelopes, and spectrum analyzers. It also supports plugin modules and scripting interfaces, allowing developers to implement new DSP blocks in languages such as C++, Python, or Lua. A built-in editor and visual debugger assist in constructing graphs and diagnosing performance.

The architecture of Audioja separates the core engine from the user interface and plugin system. The audio thread processes graph nodes with strict latency budgets, while a host API and plugin interface enable integration with external software and hardware. Cross-platform support includes Windows, macOS, Linux, and selected mobile and embedded platforms.

In terms of usage and licensing, the project aims at researchers, educators, and developers seeking an open-ended platform for experimentation. Audioja is released under a permissive open-source license, with community-driven documentation and examples. Development is coordinated through public repositories, issue trackers, and discussion forums.
