2009 has been a bumper year for free music software, and we close it with three more releases.
Native Instruments is treating us to a Holiday Selection of KoreSounds, while Psychic Modulation has released a free version of one of its synths. The line-up is completed by a 12-band graphic EQ.
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.
Terry West Twelve Graphic Equalizer
Platform/format: PC/VST Download
The name refers to the fact that this graphic EQ has - you guessed it - 12 bands. It's said to be modelled on some famous hardware units, though Terry West doesn't specify which. There are actually three versions - Standard, Lite and Pro - though it appears that all are currently free.
Psychic Modulation Aethereal (free)
Platform/format: PC/VST Download
Designed for producing evolving atmospheres and textures, this vector synth comes with more than 100 sounds and four wave oscillators. You can mix between these using the TransMixer, and there's also an Auto-Modulation section, two multi-stage filters, a dual delay and more. The freeware version is limited to two voices of polyphony and a single audio output.
Native Instruments Holiday Selection 2009
Platform/format: PC, Mac/VST, AU, RTAS Download
We've featured this in our advent calendar already, but for those who missed it, the 2009 Holiday Selection is a pack of 45 KoreSounds, each of which comes with eight morphable Sound Variations. It can be loaded into Kore 2 or the free Kore Player.
