PySynth is a simple music synthesizer written in Python. It’s based on a script I found on the Web and then modified for my purposes. The goal is not to produce many different sounds, but to have scripts that can turn ABC notation into a WAV file without too much tinkering.
There are three variants: PySynth A is faster, only needs Python itself, and sounds more like a cross between a flute and organ. PySynth B is more complex in sound and needs NumPy. It's supposed to be a little closer to a piano. (No competition for Pianoteq of course, but a reasonable fit for keyboard music.) Finally, PySynth S is more comparable to a guitar, banjo, or harpsichord, depending on note length and pitch.
