Mildon Studios has announced the release of EQ9 and Lemonstrum 2.

EQ9 is an equalizer that is based on different characteristics of sound instead of frequencies. It is for those who rely less on exact values and love to mix audio by ear.

Priced at $4.95, EQ9 is available for Windows as a VST effect plug-in.

Lemonstrum 2 Acoustic Guitar Strummer lets you strum your MIDI keyboard just like a real guitar. It gives you 24 chord slots, each assignable with a custom chord and a keyboard trigger. The on-screen fretboard and keyboard allow you to plot new chords and keyboard triggers using drag 'n' drop. A dedicated upstroke key (C3 - two octaves below Middle C) can be played alternately with the keyboard trigger you assigned (serves as your down-stroke) to create an effective strumming pattern.

Features:

• 24 chord slots assignable with custom chords and keyboard triggers.
• To get the first chord playing, try pressing Middle C-E-G chord (and so on, as plotted) on your MIDI controller.
• Create and edit your own chords.
• Pre-configured with all major and minor chords.
• Variable strumming speed, release and bass-cut control.
• Drag and drop chord plotting / keyboard trigger plotting.
• Can load and save patches as FXB or FXP files (8 patches).
• Global bypass / mute button for each string.
• Standard E-A-D-G-B-E tuning.
• Dedicated upstroke key (C3) for easy strumming.
• High-Quality 16-bit 44khz samples.

Lemonstrum 2 is available as a VST instrument plug-in for Windows and it costs $24.
