Instant Sampler
Muxer released a rather cool effect recently that lets you sample your incoming audio and play back fragments of it using MIDI-notes. You can also do lots of funky stuff, such as reversing the loops, shifting the pitch, scrubbing through the sample or modulating loop length etc.
However, it was Mac only so I have ported it to Windows VST so all us PC owners can have a play - see the download page for details. Instructions and source code are all available on Muxer’s website.
Thanks Muxer!!

Compressive v1.11
A minor update to fix the ratio knob as it was out by around 5% when reloading presets in some hosts and to make the RMS calculation a tad smoother at non-44.1kHz samplerates

Compressive v1.1
I have updated Compressive Lite and Pro to v1.1. This fixes the reversed readout on the ratio knob, stops the level meter drawing out of range and best of all it reduces CPU usage by round about a third!!

Setting up Compressive
So, a few people have contacted me recently wanting to know how to set up CompressiveCM or Pro’s external sidechain in various hosts. Well, the answer is here in this thread I posted on KvR a while back. Feel free to add to it if I have missed any off

CompressiveCM
Yep, there is now a souped up version of Compressive available as part of Computer Music magazine’s CM studio
As well as all the cool features in Compressive Pro, such as a frequency dependent RMS compressor, mid/side processing, valve/tube modelling etc, CompressiveCM comes with a brickwall limiter so you can really push your drums without any nasty digital clipping, and a brand spanking new GUI courtesy of Rick Christy aka Designer Monkey.

Another little update
There is a new update on the download page that fixes the flickering GUI, makes the popup menus work a bit smoother and stops a small memory leak. I have also changed the presets in CompressivePro as the ones set to the external sidechain by default were causing some confusion

Compressive update
There is now a minor update to Compressive available on the download page. This should hopefully sort out a couple of little bugs

Compressive
Compressive is made up of two professional quality audio compressors written in a combination of C++ and assembly for maximum CPU efficiency.
Compressive Pro is an external side chain vintage analogue modeled RMS compressor. The external side contains a 3-band EQ and mid/side controls to allow complete control of audio dynamics.
Compressive Lite uses the same algorithms as Compressive Pro but has a reduced feature for minimum CPU usage.
Available free for Windows as a VST on the download page. Let me know what you think of it
