A seasonal selection

Plugins aren’t just used for processing audio - they can do some rather clever things to MIDI, too. Two of this week’s releases provide further evidence of this, while we also have - appropriately enough given the time of year - a spring reverb and an audio clean-up suite.

Also make sure you check out these regularly updated features:

If you've got a new PC or Mac plug-in, make sure you let us know about it by emailing musicradar.pressreleases@futurenet.com with all the details.

PSP SpringBox

PSP SpringBox

An emulation of a hardware spring reverb that promises typical characteristics such as a convincing ‘boing’ on transients, a repeatable resonating ‘musical’ character and adjustable presence. Potential applications for SpringBox range from guitar treatments to using it as a send reverb in the mix.

Nassen Modulys

Nassen Modulys

An experimental MIDI plugin that’s capable of generating up to 16 clips simultaneously. Each of these can be mono or polyphonic and have its own length and tempo, giving you the opportunity to generate all kinds of polyrhythmic madness.

Kirnu Cream

Kirnu Cream

Another MIDI plugin, Cream is said to offer a variety of functions that take it beyond standard arpeggiators and step sequencers and enable you to easily generate chords and patterns. There are four independent tracks (each if which has MIDI I/O) and each track can contain 12 patterns.
