There's plenty to get your downloading teeth into this week, with a good selection of free instrument and effect plug-ins coming our way. One particularly industrious developer has been remarkably busy, posting a new amp sim for five days on the bounce.

If you've got a new free music software release, make sure you let us know about it by emailing musicradar.pressreleases@futurenet.com with all the details.

Nick Crow Lab TubeDriver

Platform/format: PC/VST Download

No, it's not an London Underground train simulator, it's a tube amp plug-in. There's a pre-EQ, Bias, Drive and Volume controls, and also options to dial in noise, adjust the amount of parameter drift and flip the phase of the output signal.

DSK Music Synthopia 2

Platform/format: PC/VST Download

This second version of Synthopia has a triple-layer architecture, meaning that it's possible to stack up sounds or pipe each layer through a separate MIDI channel. There are 128 presets in five categories, while filters and LFOs are also part of the synth's makeup.

Homegrown Sounds Introjector Lite

Platform/format: PC/VST Download

Introjector is best thought of as a loop re-sequencer. The idea is that you load a loop, adapt it using the eight onboard sequencers and then export the results. The Lite version is limited in several respects (you can only load one WAV at a time and there are only two sequencers) but, as its presence here indicates, it has the advantage of being free.
