Here's some software for generating them; http://gnaural.sourceforge.net/ http://gnaural.sourceforge.net/ http://discord.sourceforge.net/ http://discord.sourc

  Or, since this is Hacker News, you can use ChucK, which is a realtime programming language for processing audio: SinOsc left => dac.left; SinOsc right => dac.right; 300 => left.freq; 310 => right.freq; while (1) 1::second => now;

    The last time I looked at ChucK had to have been almost 5 years ago. I was doing some interesting phase shift work where I would offset one channel by a few samples. Lots of fun.

      Are you talking about a fixed offset, as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haas_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haas_effect, or a variable offset, sort of like a flanger?

    or: xmms tone://300;310

  I used rhybag, from the author of sbagen, to create a melody for a song I've yet to finish writing. It's a very cool tool.

  Some good, more general purpose and programmer-y alternatives: ChucK => http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ Pure Data => http://puredata.info/ http://puredata.info/ SuperCollider => http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/ http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/

    There's also http://overtone.github.io/ http://overtone.github.io/, which sits over super collider. Overtone provides an emacs mode, but you can also use it in http://www.lighttable.com/ http://www.lighttable.com/ which is a bit more accessible.

      It's funny, here I was futzing around to make emacs part of my PD workflow... Thanks for the link, I hadn't heard of it before.

  There is another open source software which generates binaural beats. The software is Paulstretch, an extreme-audio time stretching software I wrote few years ago: http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/ http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/ Here is a screenshots of binaural-beats generator: http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/screenshot3.png http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/screenshot3.p... But I don't know if there are real psychological effects of the binaural beats :)

    Paulstretch and ZynAddSubFX are both great software. Thanks for writing them!
