Birch Tom: AU, Mac VST, VST32, VST64.

This is a little something thrown together out of a test take of Solar Battery tom No. 6 (high G#). This little sampler works for low melodic-tom-like sounds and trebley "Caribbean" drum sounds. It could be used as a replacement for MIDI programme 117, "Melodic Tom". If you've got a MIDI file with a Melodic Tom part, you could try this with said MIDI file.

Demo:



Kode54's 2MID converter, a Win32 console app. Supports RIFF MIDI, MDS, HMP, HMI, XMI, MUS, LDS, GMF. An essential tool for playing/converting old game MIDI scores. This is much the same as his Foobar2000 Foo_MIDI plugin.

Scala Modified Equal Temperament File. Works with the Microtuner VST plugin to pitch-shift incoming MIDI notes. Note: place Microtuner at the beginning of a stack before a synth plugin. Microtuner has to intercept MIDI notes first, and then pass them on to the synth.

Equal Loudness EQ Calibration Tones for Foobar2000 (for the Shibatch SuperEQ built into F2K);
Equal Loudness EQ Calibration Tones for Winamp, with Shibatch Superequaliser included; use the EL calibration tones to set up speakers (or headphones) to a more or less straight EQ (an 18 bands EQ is fairly accurate);

The Sinepad Scheme for Pidgin;
Russian phonetic keyboard layout for Windows; note: Will not work on 64-bit versions;

SM57 compensation EQ preset for Spline EQ. This is simply an inverted frequency response of the SM57 - applying this EQ preset brings the frequency response close to neutral;

XMPlay 3.7 Installer - this is an installer for the XMPlay player, which supports pretty much any mod/music format out there and has ASIO output and built-in BASSMIDI SF2 player, among other things.

AWE32 GM ROM Soundfont - if you're really longing for that old AWE32 sound, this might provide a fix.

Zynaddsub-FX presets:

Distorted Guitar - a real bloody distorted guitar, not the wimpy plasticky rubbish synth makers love to pass for the real thing;
Overdriven Guitar - similar to distorted but with different OD/distortion settings.
Sinepad - originally this was used as 5 instances, panned leftmost, left top, top, right top, rightmost. This is a bell/piano-like sparkling sinewave pad.

Hexen Stuff:

ZHexen (=ZDoom 2.7.1 with Hexen/Heretic fixes);
Hexen Soundtrack for ZDoom, 48/24 FLAC;
Wrath of Chaos mod (spell-checked).
