If you've got a new free music software release, make sure you let us know about it by emailing musicradar.pressreleases@futurenet.com with all the details.

Ceres might look like a synthesizer (and B. Serrano says that it works a little like one, too), but it's actually a filter effect: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch and peak types are on offer. There's also an envelope, two bpm-syncable LFOs and an 8-step sequencer.

No, it's not the name of a little-known character from the Star Wars universe: Weldroid Courvoisier is actually a "single-band universal dynamics processor with adaptive attack and release algorithms optimised for complex program material (mixes and submixes)".
