Groovy Lava is a new screensaver and Winamp visualization plug-in created by NetPlay Software. Groovy Lava allows you to define an artificial cellular life form that will ooze into life with your favourite music or as your very own screensaver. Groovy Lava is based on chaos in which there are no well-defined mathematical formulas, only action and re-action, driven by a random process using the basic rules of life and death. At the heart of Groovy Lava is the chaos engine, which randomly selects a cell position and applies your life form rules. It is this random selection, along with the influence of the surrounding cells, that allows Groovy Lava to simulate many natural phenomena such as auroras, turbulent water flow, and fire. As the 'lava master', you can set the rules for the chaos engine, allowing it to create weird and wonderful images of beauty and chaos. It is also possible for the software to generate random life forms in time with your music, creating a unique trip into the world of cellular automation. There is no doubt that there are still many amazing life forms yet to be discovered, maybe you will be the first to discover a whole new way of life ?

Rhythm Rider is a 3D music visualization plug-in for MS Windows Media Player. You Ride The Music Wave. Just play your MP3 and WAV files, or play a music CD, and ride a wave generated by your music while immersed in a 3D environment. It adds to your music listening experience and gives a roller coaster feel. You'll love it! It has a fire breathing dragon. There are multiple vantage points on the wave to choose from. You can look forward, reverse, look at fountain, and you can sit off the wave. You can add head tilt for a more extreme experience, or remove it for a smoother ride. The experience is best with larger screens, because you get fuller immersion. In fact, a projection screen is fantastic for this! It's also best with a good set of speakers, or head phones for a more immersive feel. Visit www.alwayslearn.com for more details!

VariSaturator is an audio effect plug-in designed to apply saturation effects to audio material. VariSaturator can be used both to boost the loudness of the audio tracks without increasing their peak levels proportionally, and to apply subtle harmonic coloration that makes tracks sound more pronounced and polished.
VariSaturator features two saturation modules which are applied in sequence, in two-band mode each. The valve saturation module applies asymmetric valve processing that closely resembles sound of valve amplifier cascade, and being a digital emulation, it applies its best sonic features without side artifacts like noise, strong phase shift and high frequency roll-off. Another saturation module VariSaturator features is a digital "waveshaping" saturator with feedback topology. This module applies smooth two-band saturation which can amplify signal level and apply desirable harmonic coloration. If you have some "muffled" track in the mix that needs to cut through the mix better, VariSaturator will help you in this case easily.
VariSaturator can be used in a variety of audio processing cases: you may apply it with good results over drum, bass and vocal tracks, over sub-mixes and of course over complete mixes. Since VariSaturator does not provide a brick-wall limiting performance, when applied over full mixes, it is best used for the final loudness boost inserted before the finishing brick-wall limiter.
Note, though, that since VariSaturator applies distortion, it may damage original sonic qualities of the audio material if used incautiously. For initial evaluation of VariSaturator's sonic performance you can use the factory presets VariSaturator comes with.
