Advanced GTK+ Sequencer is intended to use for music composition. It features a piano roll, as well a synth, matrix editor, drum machine, soundfont2 player, mixer and an output panel. It's designed to be highly configurable, you may add effects to its effect chain, add or remove audio channels/pads. You may set up a fully functional network of engines, therefore exists a link editor for linking audio lines. In conjunction with ags you need a realtime kernel and alsa support. `ags` uses conditional locks to keep several threads in sync that's why you need at least a preemptible kernel.

RxFFmpeg is a high-performance multimedia processing framework built on top of FFmpeg and optimized specifically for Android environments, enabling developers to perform complex audio and video editing operations programmatically. It integrates widely used encoding libraries such as x264, mp3lame, and fdk-aac, allowing it to support a broad range of media formats and transformations. The framework provides a wrapper around FFmpeg commands, making it easier to execute advanced media operations without directly handling low-level command syntax. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution, enabling developers to manage long-running media tasks efficiently within mobile applications. The system also includes features like hardware acceleration through MediaCodec, significantly improving performance on supported devices. Its design focuses on flexibility, allowing users to perform tasks such as transcoding, clipping, filtering, and compositing media with minimal overhead.
