Changes in Crowd Chamber v2.01
- 64 bit version now available for Windows.
- Compatibility with latest Ableton Live and various control issues.
- Crash bug fix for Logic Pro, and other hosts.
- Instantiation clicks resolved.
Crowd Chamber is available to purchase for PC and Mac (VST/AU) for £15 GBP.

QuikQuak has released version 2.60 of Fusion Field, a smooth diffusion reverb effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.
A clean, unobtrusive sound with a natural falloff that floats and complements the source material perfectly. Designed to imitate complex, natural spaces, it is also very easy to use.
The main ‘cloud’ display represents the reverb in terms of time and frequency, showing all the main parameters and EQ in a natural way. The reverberation can be dampened in the upper and lower frequencies, allowing soft sibilance and a graceful, lifting air to the sound.
Changes in Fusion Field v2.60
- Better bass diffusion to remove repetitive lower frequency issues.
- 64 bit version now available for PC.
- Extra diffusion filters added for increased stereo dispersion.
Fusion Field is available to purchase for PC and Mac (VST/AU) for £50 GBP.

QuikQuak has released version 1.01 of BarChimes, a virtual chimes instrument plug-in for Windows and Mac.
The BarChimes plug-in physically emulates a set of bar chimes, using complex kinematic physics routines. Great care has gone into translating the physics of gravity, friction, and weight of the bars, including their appearance. The sounds of the bar interactions are created using editable partials and length frequencies, including percussive hits, decay elements, and spectral alterations.
Changes in BarChimes v1.01
- 64 bit version now available for Windows.
- Live 8 compatibility fixes.
- Preset import issues fixed.
BarChimes is available to purchase for PC and Mac (VST/AU), priced at £20 GBP.

QuikQuak has released version 3.0 of Pitchwheel, a real-time pitch shifting plug-in for Windows and Mac.
Pitchwheel now has a new pitch shifting engine that has taken several months to create, it’s 46ms (44k) latency makes it the most responsive wideband pitch shifter on the market. And with excellent tonal and transient quality, makes it a great tool for any studio.
Changes in Pitchwheel 3
- A new pro quality pitch shifter. After months of research, Pitchwheel gets a new engine.
- Superior pitch shifting – great frequency stability and transient accuracy, with low latency and CPU usage.
- ‘Fixed Envelope’ option that preserves formant shapes. Useful for changing pitch without the usual ‘chipmunks’ sound. Allowing natural vocal changes, with glides, vibrato and harmonies.
- 46ms (at 44k) latency – very fast response time for a high quality wide-band pitch shifter.
- New option to only output sound when playing through MIDI, allowing 8 note harmonies to be played very easily.
- Sample accurate pitch changes.
- 96 semitone pitch range.
Pitchwheel 3 is available to purchase for PC and Mac (VST/AU), priced at £50 GBP. The upgrade is free for all registered users.
