    ASIO FX Processor LE

    SpinAudio

    ASIO FX Processor LE is a standalone application that allows to stream audio from audio card input to audio card output through a VST plugin using Steinberg's ASIO 2.0 interface, thus turning PC into a real-time effect processor.

    It means that you can plug an audio source, like a guitar, microphone, external synth out for example, into input of your audio card that supports ASIO 2.0, run the ASIO FX Processor LE, select the input you would like to take the sound from and output for monitoring, load a VST plugin you want to process the sound in real-time and start the streaming. The application will take the sound from card's input, pass it through the loaded VST plugin and output it back to audio card output for monitoring.
    • 16, 24, 32 fixed point and 32 bit floating point audio data support.
    • 32 bit floating point internal precision.
    • Special ultra-low latency mode support.

    Psycle

    Psycle

    Psycle is a free, Open-Source, music creation program that offers an easy way to create your own music, fast, and with high quality.

    Psycle uses a classical tracker interface (a text grid of notes which are sequenced one after the other), coupled with modularity (plugins) that allow to extend the sounds that you get from it.

    It supports three ways to get sound: its own native format, the VST Plugin standard, and recorded .wav samples using the sampler machine.

    Notes are entered in patterns, where you can also use commands (plugin specific, or global), as well as automating parameters via the mcm and twk commands. These patterns are then organized in a linear sequence, which becomes the song order.

    Main features:

    • A 64 Tracks Pattern Editor, with up to 1024 lines.
    • 256 sequence positions.
    • Audio Routing (machine) view to interconnect the virtual machines in order to apply different effects.
    • Internal Stereo Sampler unit which supports .wav and .iff files of any sampling rate, 8/16 and 24bits, mono or stereo.
    • 70+ Native Plugins (generators & effects), most of them open-source and with an easy to use API to create new ones.
    • Support for VST1 and VST2 plugin standard.
    • Imports .xm, .s3m, .it, .mod.
    • Exporting to wav, as well as recording realtime to .wav.
    • Configurable Keyboard Layout.
    • MIDI-In Support (control Psycle using a MIDI keyboard, or even a software sequencer).
    • Themes and skins support and much more
