Martin Eastwood Audio has released Duet, a double-tracking/harmonizer effect designed to enhance vocals and instruments by creating the illusion of multiple voices.
By using a novel method of pitch-shifting and delaying audio, Duet can create natural sounding results and turn a single voice into a choir.
Duet features
- Independent pitch-shifting the left and right inputs using a novel synchronous overlap and add technique, allowing pitch to be manipulated in real-time, while still maintaining the time duration of the audio.
- Creates the illusion of multiple voices and adds a luscious texture to your music by delaying the re-pitched audio and altering its pan position.
- Traditional modulation effects such as flangers and phasers modulate time duration as well as pitch so can sound synthetic but by de-coupling pitch from time, Duet creates natural sounding results and can turn a single voice into a choir.
- Create a silky chorus effect through modulation of the pitch-shift amount or to add movement and texture to synths.
Duet is available as a VST effect plug-in for Windows PC and costs 39 EUR. A demo version can be downloaded from the product page.

Martin Eastwood Audio has ported Muxer’s InstantSampler to Windows PC.
From Muxer’s website:
The plugin could be named “audio copy-paster” or “snippet looper”, but I choose to call it InstantSampler because it does what a simple ‘normal’ sampler does (playing audio fragments by MIDI notes), but it takes its samples (instantly) from the audio input whenever you hit a specific MIDI note for the first time. Every consecutive time you hit the same MIDI-note, it plays back the recorded fragment (or shorter, depending on the note’s length).
Features
- velocity – Playback volume.
- attack and release – Both attack & release times are configurable.
- floor – The level of the input audio which is passed along unaffected when no samples are played.
- playback speed – Speed up or – down the sample playback using the pitchbend control with a configurable range.
- reverse playback – Playback in reverse.
- looped scrolling – You can scroll through the sample while playing little loops using the modulation wheel.
- loop size – Sets the size of the loops which are played when using the modulation wheel.
- loop fade length – Sets the fade-in and -out lengths of the loops which are played when using the modulation wheel.
- clear memory – Assign a MIDI note that (when played) just clears all samples recorded so far.

Compressive Pro is an external side chain vintage analogue modeled RMS compressor. The external side contains a 3-band EQ and mid/side controls to allow complete control of audio dynamics. Compressive Lite uses the same algorithms as Compressive Pro but has a reduced feature for minimum CPU usage.
Changes in Compressive v1.1
- Fixed: Reversed readout on the ratio knob.
- Fixed: Level meter drawing out of range.
- Improved: CPU usage reduced.

Martin Eastwood Audio has released version 1.02 of Compressive, two freeware compressor VST plug-ins for Windows PC.
Compressive Pro is an external side chain vintage analogue modeled RMS compressor. The external side contains a 3-band EQ and mid/side controls to allow complete control of audio dynamics. Compressive Lite uses the same algorithms as Compressive Pro but has a reduced feature for minimum CPU usage.
Changes in v1.02
- Flickering GUI fixed.
- Popup menus work a bit smoother.
- Small memory leak fixed.
- Changed the presets in Compressive Pro as the ones set to the external sidechain by default were causing some confusion.
