Fors has introduced Junior, a 4-bit software synth for Linux, Mac and Windows that’s inspired by the limitations and characteristics of the Nintendo Game Boy soundchip.
They say that “Junior emits raw and harmonically rich 4-bit values that will cut through anything.”

Sinevibes has released a major update to Skew, its non-linear reverse delay plugin for Linux, Mac and Windows, and made it available as a free download.
Skew constantly records the incoming audio into a buffer and plays it back in reversed chunks, rhythmically synchronizing them to the host transport. Furthermore, this algorithm warps the delay playback speed via a selection of non-linear curves, bending the pitch in interesting ways.
This is not a limited-time offer – Skew v2 is now a free plugin in Sinevibes’ lineup.
New in Skew v2:
Added non-destructive Feedback parameter that operates via a newly-added, third playhead (thus preventing the optional speed/pitch bend effects from accumulating over time)
Revised selection of curves with new “Warp” curve type
Re-calibrated reverser fade in/out envelopes
New input/output mixdown controls with separate Send, Return and Mix parameters
Updated collection of factory presets
Skew 2 is available now as a free download. Email registration is required.
