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.
Minimal System Instruments HandMade Echo
Platform/format: PC/VST Download
This "boutique delay/echo unit" is designed to emulate the sound of classic hardware models. The controls are simple - just feedback, delay and dry/wet knobs and a tempo sync button - so it'll appeal to anyone who wants a delay effect that doesn't require a lot of tweaking.
Mike Norrish Armchair Guitarist 1.5
Platform/format: PC/VST Download
This plug-in, which was originally created for KVR's Developer Challenge 2009, enables you to use your video game guitar controller (one that's DirectInput compatible) as a MIDI controller for your DAW. This update fixes various issues and adds a couple of new features.
Lday Athmonova2
Platform/format: PC/VST Download
Yet another virtual analogue synth for the pile: this one gives you an oscillator, filter, LFO, three envelopes and overdrive/distortion, delay and stereo widening effects. As such, it doesn't really do much more than a hundred other synths, but give it a try and see how it fits.
