PSP 2445 – new reverb processor plugin inspired by the EMT 244 and the EMT 245
PSP Audioware has announced the release of PSP 2445, a reverb processor plugin inspired by the EMT 244 and the EMT 245, two legendary early digital age reverberators.
PSP thoroughly researched how to bring the specific features of those simple, yet very musical sounding reverbs to life as a plug-in. We then improved from the originals with a handy set of parameters to control details of the sound and mix the reverb not available in the original hardware.
The PSP 2445 is capable of processing using one selected engine or both of them simultaneously.
PSP 2445 for Windows and Mac (VST/AU/RTAS/AAX) is available for the introductory price of $79 USD until January 1st, 2016 (regular $129 USD). Prices ex. VAT.

R.I.P. Lemmy Kilmister – the toughest guy in rock
Lemmy, best known as the founding and sole constant member of Motörhead, has passed away at the age of 70, a statement from the band has confirmed.

He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from The Rainbow which had recently made it’s way down the street, with his family.” Over the course of his time with Motörhead, and previously Hawkwind, Lemmy, aka Ian Kilmister, had earned iconic rock ‘n’ roll status both for his musicianship and widely reported bad boy antics.
BioTek – new organic synthesizer plugin for Windows, Mac & Linux
Tracktion Corporation has released BioTek, an organic synthesizer plugin for Windows, Mac & Linux.
Introducing a premium quality virtual instrument that combines an advanced synthesis engine with a stunning array of sampled sounds from natural, urban and mechanical environments. Built on the entirely new Acktion™ platform, this “organic synthesizer” sounds like nothing else.
The single-screen user interface, dominated by a powerful XY controller and a number of soft controls that change function based on the particular patch in use, provides the flexibility of a modular synthesizer.
