xwax is open source vinyl emulation software[1]. It was initially developed in 2006 as proprietary software. In May 2007 xwax was licensed under the GNU General Public License[2], making it the first open source software of this kind.

Unlike the software supplied with some proprietary packages for vinyl emulation, xwax is hardware independent. Notably, it can be used with the audio device and timecode recordings supplied with Scratch Live and Traktor Scratch packages[3], and the interface audio interface supplied with the original Final Scratch[4].

The xwax source code is used to decode timecodes for vinyl control in Mixxx[5][6].
