0 CoolCatBad Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Audio Creation Ambiloop http://evenfall.com/ambiloop/index.html Ambiloop basically functions like a multi-track endless audio tape loop or digital delay box with feedback. Simply set the desired loop time for a track (or use manual mode to set loop times on-the-fly) and press the record button. Incoming audio is recorded in real time for the length of the loop. Recording continues seamlessly as the loop repeats and the previously recorded audio begins playing back at a volume set by the feedback control. Or just grab a single loop on the fly with the Insert Record feature. Ambiloop will play up to eight tracks simultaneously. Loops can be slowed to half speed or played backwards and a multimode filter is available for non-destructive, realtime filtering.

0 Echilon Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 General Utilities And Other Applications:The Guide http://theguide.sourceforge.net/ The Guide is an application that allows you create documents ("guides") which inherently have a tree (which you can modify as you please) and text associated with each node of the tree. The text itself is of the rich-text variety, and the editor allows you to modify the style and formatting of the text (fonts, bold, italics etc). For the initiated, the Guide is a two-pane extrinsic outliner. This concept is similar to mindmapping in some ways. Great piece of software. Thanks.

Should replace Periodic Table - http://paulalanfreshney.com/education/pt/ in the main list. It's the same application, the URL changed Educational Utilities Periodic Table Explorer http://www.freshney.org/education/pte/index.htm The PTE is a brand new way of exploring the periodic table. It has the same functions as the original Periodic Table software plus many more, it also has a completely new and innovative user interface that allows an almost unlimited amount of control over the display. Educational Utilities Earth's Core http://www.freshney.org/education/ec/index.htm Earth's Core provides a wealth of information for those people interested in Rocks, Gems and Minerals. it contains detailed information on hundreds of gems and minerals as well as a detail glossary of terms Small Business - Good housekeeping Pyxis http://www.freshney.org/pyxis/index.htm Pyxis is an asset management system that is tailored for home and small business use. Keep track of any item that you buy for your home or business. Simple user-friendly interface lets you add and update information quickly and accurately. Disk Information Utility Xinorbis http://www.freshney.org/xinorbis/index.htm Xinorbis is a simple but powerful hard disk analyser. Using a sophisticated mix of graphs, tables and tree displays, it gives the user a complete overview of the contents of a hard disk (or directory). Totally Shameless plug: I have found all these applications while browsing for PTE: All of the software on freshney.org is free for commerical and non-commercial use and written by a developer named Paul Alan Freshney. He writes some truly wonderful applications: a little donation to help him cover his costs is some money well invested.
