Analog Box 2 [Modular software synthesizer] by Andyware
Win added 08/08/2006

Analog Box is a low level, circuit based, modular software synthesizer. You put sound objects on the screen, connect them together, listen and adjust. When you find something you like, you can record it to a wav file, or just save the circuit and play it again later.
ABox is somewhat like the vintage synth's of the '70's in that there are separate modules with lots of patch cords, knobs, buttons and displays. But you also get the computational ability offered by modern CPU's. Features like FFTs, Differentials and Digital Control open up realms of sound design never dreamt of before. With the advanced capabilities offered by VSTi, USB/HID, MIDI and DirectShow you could conceivably play your favorite video soundtrack through a plugin adusted by a glove controller.

I Am The Mighty Jungulator [DJ tool] by I Am The Mighty Jungulator
WinMac added 08/08/2006

I Am The Mighty Jungulator is a groundbreaking audio engine which fuses DJ, synthesizer and sampler into one real time instrument. The user can manipulate audio samples simultaneously, moulding them like putty, whilst the Jungulator keeps them in perfect time. It also has sophisticated generative algorithms that allow the software to take creative decisions itself.
This app is shareware... however, there are no nagging pop-ups or complex serial number procedures, we think you're bigger than that, so we'll leave it up to your conscience...if you find you use either application a lot, consider paying a contribution (£35 Paypal) towards the continued development of the jungulator.
MR1200 [MP3 Player For DJs] by MonoRAVEik
Win added 07/08/2006

MR1200 is an MP3 player designed specifically for DJing with. Rather than use a PC to replace an entire two-decks-and-a-mixer rig, it replaces only the decks, so you can continue to use your own separate mixer. This allows full use of mixer and headphones for prefading, meaning tracks can be mixed together as they always could be with decks.
With two soundcards in your PC (although it is possible with only one) and two instances of MR1200 running, or even two PCs, you can treat your MP3s just like vinyl.
