Anklang is a digital audio synthesis application for live creation and composition of music and other audio material.

The project is a revamp of several former audio projects by its two main authors and aims to realize a coherent, solid amalgamation for composition and interactive creation of synthesis music.

The project can be built on Linux by cloning the repository and running make. However it is easier to download one of the self-contained AppImage release builds, mark it executable and run it.
