ZynAddSubFX is a opensource software synthesizer capable of making a countless number of instruments, from some common heared from expensive hardware to interesting sounds that you´ll boost to an amazing universe of sounds.

Features:

• realtime synthesizer
• polyphonic (allows playing more than one note at once), mutlitimbral (allows playing more than one instrument at once) synth
• Microtonal capabilities with any scale, any number of notes per octave (well... the no. of notes per octave must be less than 128) and keymapping
• 2 synthesiser engines:
  1. first (called "ADsynth" or "ADnote") is a complex engine which makes sounds by adding a number of voices. Each one has filters, envelopes, LFOs, morphing, modulation (Ring Modulation, Phase Modulation... the modulators can have any shape), resonance, etc. Each voice includes a very powerful waveform generator with up to 128 sine/nonsine harmonics. You can use Fourier synthesis or if you don´t like it you can waveshaping/filtering of functions. This engine includes antialiasing.
  2. second (called "SUBsynth" or "SUBnote") is a simpler engine who allows to make sounds by subtraction of harmonics of sounds from white noise
• Instruments can be orgainzed in kits, which alows you to make drum kits or layered(mixed) instruments; this makes possible to use more than one instrument for a single part. It is possible to choose what items from the kit should be processed by the Part´s effects.
• Effects: Reverb, Echo, Chorus/Flange, Phaser,AlienWah (it´s a kind of vocal morpher), Distorsion(Waveshaping) and EQ
• The effects can behave as System Effects or as Insertion Effects; this allows to use many effects at the same time. You can put any insertion effect on any part(or more insertion effects to same parts, if you like so) or you can put the insertion effect to Master output (very usefull if you use the EQ effect). Also, you can have instrument´s effect (that is saved with the instrument).
• Filters up to 60dB/octave (or more..); filters can be analogic (LPF,HPF, BPF,etc.) or formant
• Envelopes can have ADSR (or ASR, etc..) modes or can be free modes (with any shape)
• Many settings has a "randomness" option, which you can make instruments that every time produces a subtle different sound; this produces a very pleasent effect (like analogue synths or natural instruments that can´t produces exactly same sound twice). Because of this, even if it is digital synthesis, it sounds "warm". Listen the ogg vorbis demos from this page to hear this effect.
• the specifications can be easily chaged, so (for example) if you want to change the number of voices or parts to a higher value or to allow a higher number of effects at the same time, there is necessary to chage only a single value from the source file (globals.h) and to recompile the program
• Intuitive and easy to use User Interface
• Midi support (supports many controllers) and (if you want) JACK support
• the program has Virtual Keyboard which let you to use it even if you don´t have a real midi keyboard
• it is a free program, licensed under version 2 of the GNU General Public License

AndreaMosaic is software program designed to create mosaics made with photographs.

To create such kind of mosaic you need a collection of images to use for the tiles of the mosaic and you also need an image to use for the original, as a matrix for the mosaics. Then you can set the parameters of the program for to create very different kind of mosaics.

With this freeware program you can create your own photographic mosaics made with your own pictures. A photographic mosaic is a mosaic where every tile is a photograph and not just a simple colored piece.

Digitally CD Duplication brings you the powerful new easy to use Label Xpress software. Print CDR, DVDR, Mini CDR, Mini DVDR labels and jewel case inserts and DVD case entrapments with any inkjet or laser printer.

Avatar Sizer resizes your image and creates a JPG file suitable for use as a Forum Avatar. The Aspect Ratio of the image is retained when the image is resized so it looks the same, just smaller.

Avatar Sizer is exceptionally easy to use and can convert most of the popular image types into an Avatar.

So, for example, if you´ve taken a picture with your digital camera or camera phone, you can turn it into an Avatar.

Monitor Calibration Wizard is an easy-to-use tool for calibrating the colors displayed by your monitor. Most monitors have flaws, they may be too dark, too bright, or they may have a color tint like green or blue. All these problems can be easily fixed through Monitor Calibration Wizard.

ChaosPro is an MDI fractal generator compatible to FractInt and UltraFractal. It can read FractInt´s *.par, *.frm, *.ifs, *.l and *.map files, and UltraFractal´s *.upr, *.uxf, *.ufm and *.ucl files.

It is completely based on 24 bit and thus can create smooth true color images. Its palette editor lets you have full control over the colors.

With its keyframing technique and its spline interpolation algorithm it can create smooth (AVI) animations of any parameter. It can 3D transform 2D fractals (height fields).

You can write your own formulas using the built in language, which gets compiled in realtime into ready to run optmized machine code. The compiler natively knows about complex and quaternion numbers, which enables it to produce Quaternions (true 3D fractals).

ChaosPro has support for layers (similar to Photoshop) which allows you to merge different fractals and thus to combine coloring modes.
