'''JSyn''' ("[Java](/source/Java_(programming_language)) [Synthesis](/source/Sound_synthesis)") is a [free](/source/Gratis_versus_libre) [API](/source/API) for developing interactive sound applications in Java.  Developed by [Phil Burk](/source/Phil_Burk) and others, it is available on [GitHub](/source/GitHub).  JSyn has a flexible, [unit generator](/source/unit_generator)-based synthesis and [DSP](/source/Digital_signal_processing) architecture that allows developers to create synthesizers, audio playback routines, and effects processing algorithms within a Java framework that allows for easy integration with other Java routines (e.g. graphics, [user interface](/source/user_interface), etc.).

Although fundamentally a synthesis language (imitative of if not directly inspired by [Csound](/source/Csound) and other [MUSIC-N](/source/MUSIC-N) languages), JSyn has a number of powerful extensions and ancillary libraries, including JMSL (a Java update to the [HMSL](/source/HMSL) music specification language) and [JScore](/source/JScore) (a staff notation editor and library), which adds a significantly higher level of musical [informatics](/source/Music_informatics) to the package than would normally be supplied with a set of synthesis routines.  '''Wire''', a graphical editor for JSyn routines, also allows developers to create DSP chains using a simple [GUI](/source/GUI) that gives the API some of the ease of use of programs such as [Max/MSP](/source/Max%2FMSP).
