SMSLib 1.4
SMSLib - a library for SeisMac and SeisMaCalibrate to access the Sudden Motion Sensors more>>
For better accuracy, you can use SeisMaCalibrate to calibrate your laptops Sudden Motion Sensors. SMSLib is open source, released under the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License.
For example, if you open the Terminal, change to the directory containing smsutil, and type:
./smsutil -i0.01 -c1000 -atxyz -s09 >capture.txt
then smsutil will start sampling every 10ms, running for 1000 samples (10 seconds), writing one line per sample into the file capture.txt, with each line including the time in milliseconds since smsutil started, and the calibrated x, y and z axis values, all separated by tabs.
Enhancements:
- Improved debugging data (now shows 10Hz sine waves, decaying over 3 seconds, with X, Y and Z axes staggered by 1 second)
- Improved calibration with MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 17" (Y and Z axes reversed)
Calcium Supplements 1.0
Free Dashboard health widget for your Mac more>> All in one: SAMPLIT is the ultimate solution for sampling your midi and real instruments. Everything is here: automated recording, naming, truncating, compression, normalization, looping, resampling and even playing. Samplit sends the midi notes to the midi hardware, records all the individual sounds and create ready-to-play Sampler instruments with a few mouse clicks.
Formats: SAMPLIT currently supports 9 sampler formats:
Halion (Steinberg)
EXS24 (Apple)
Kontakt (Native Instruments)
Sampletank (IK Multimedia)
Reason (Propellerheads)
VSampler (MAZ Sound Tools)
Soundfont (EMU)
Gigasampler (Tascam)
Structure (Digidesign)
Quality: SAMPLIT uses the ASIO driver on PC and the CoreAudio driver on MAC.
Supported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz (depending on your audio card)
Supported bit resolutions: 16, 24, 32 bits (depending on your audio card)
You can always convert to a lower sample rate and bit resolution. For example you can record a piano in 96/24 and create a nice 96/24 piano in Kontakt format and a lighter 44/16 piano in soundfont format. All the operations on samples are non destructives.
Interface: The main window gives you a clear view of your current project. Anything that you do has an immediate visual impact. You can add or remove a velocity, select or deselect a note, listen to any sample, erase a sample that you dont like...
Recording: With SAMPLIT, you are in control. The recording window allows you adjust all the recording parameters in real time: thresholds, pre-recording, post-recording, recording limit, recording pause... You can also decide if you want to record by velocity or by note.
Midi: Every program inside a project records the bank change program change and control change. When you select that program, all these midi parameters are sent back to your midi synth like a total recall. But you dont need a midi interface to use SAMPLIT, you can also record any kind of non-midified sounds.<<less

LoginWindowWidget 1.0
LoginWindowWidget - Quickly Secure your workstation and save space for other Menu Extras! more>> Cameleon 5000 is an additive synth, featuring resynthesis and sound morphing, which excels at pads and evolving textures and comes with a library of over 800 presets. At its heart is the morph square which allows you to morph between four different instruments at once. You can also use the morph timeline to create rhythmic loops, evolving soundscapes and pads. Uniquely, Cameleon comes with a range of preset morph timelines, to make creating new sounds even easier. Scroll down for more information, reviews and demo tunes.
Cameleon can import sampled sounds (WAV/AIFF) into any of the four voice slots, or you can choose from the extensive range of built-in voices. Cameleon has many unique features: it breaks sounds down into both a harmonic and noise component, for much higher quality and greater flexibility. No other additive synth is able to perform multi-sampling resynthesis. Cameleons realistic and expressive sounds are unparalleled.
Cameleon also allows you to import image (BMP) files and turn them into sounds. This provides an extremely powerful way to design never-heard-before sounds. If youre ever stuck for inspiration, just try loading up any picture - perhaps a photo of your mum!
Features:
# 800+ presets arranged in categories - pads, ambiences, leads, basses and more.
# Import and morph WAV/AIFF files.
# Import/export BMP images.
# Multi-sampling resynthesis for more realistic and expressive instruments.
# One-click morphing square, to morph between four sounds at a time.
# Separate control of amplitude envelope, harmonics and noise.
# Morph timeline with presets, for fast creation of evolving patches.
# High quality stretch.
# Complete control over each harmonic.
# 128-band noise generator, 64 detunable partials.
# Sweepable formant filter, distortion, compression, chorus, delay, reverb.<<less

Wave Combiner 1.1 is a simple to use, yet sophisticated utility with which you can create two waveforms by adjusting the amplitude and frequency and see what the combined result is. You know how when you play two guitar strings that are almost the same pitch you hear beats? This is because the two sound waves combine and create a new one. This program simulates just that.
Requirements: CarbonLib or Mac OS X
