Audio Damage has released Eos, a new reverb plug-in.
Features :
• Three custom-designed algorithms: Plate 1 (mono in, stereo out), Plate 2 (true stereo), and Superhall (true stereo) built with modern production in mind.
• All standard reverb controls, including modulation rate and depth, attack, diffusion, and full control over the EQ and multipliers of the reverb tail.
• Infinite control for "freeze" effects.
• Unique visual controls designed for quick and easy programming.
• Low CPU usage compared to other algorithmic reverb plug-ins, and far lower than the average convolution 'verb.
• Full MIDI learn for hardware control of most parameters (VST only).
Eos is available for both Mac (VST/AU) and PC (VST) with price of $49.

Db audioware, in partnership with ENTTEC, has released DMXIS - a revolutionary new lighting control system for artists and performers.
Operating as a VST or AU plug-in, DMXIS allows artists to add stunning light shows to their musical performance - from within their favourite Mac or PC host application - with perfect synchronisation.
Lighting controllers are usually designed by lighting professionals for theatrical use. In contrast, DMXIS has been designed by audio experts for use by performers, bands and DJs. The DMXIS software is as easy to operate as any regular audio plug-in, and the light show now becomes a natural extension to the audio project.
DMXIS can also run as a standalone application, effectively turning a Mac or PC into a highly flexible and cost-effective lighting ...
