Beta products featured here come from friends, colleagues and myself.

First....

Easy to use Microsoft Word template for coding, extracting and referencing qualitative data. Particularly useful for researchers conducting multi-modal discourse analyses.

DA-Word helps to organise, code, extract and reference text. This program is easy to use and quick to learn (assuming you use Microsoft Word). The program will be useful to anyone doing qualitative research. There are two main differences between DA-Word and other qualitative data analysis packages:

1. You can learn to use DA-Word in 10/15 minutes.
2. DA-Word doesn't analyse text (that's your job).

NB. This is PC version only

Second ....My colleagues are developing the following tool.... 

http://detextive.net/

Detextive is a tool for textual analysis. It can read any type of document OpenOffice supports (.doc, .odt, .html, .txt) as well as websites, rss feeds and it can even search google to find text on its own.

After you add all files/websites/etc. you want analyzed in this interface you will be taken to an advanced dynamic interface that will show you tagclouds of the documents, let you browse them and fetch more detailed analysis of specific words.


Third.....My friend has been developing VST plugins for a few years now. He has built up a nice collection here....

The Preston Gate

Preston Gate is a high quality gate, expander and ducker. It is ideal for adding punch to drums, dynamics shaping and noise removal.

Preston Gate features a clearly designed interface that balances flexibility and immediacy. Attack, Hold and Release parameters offer precise control over the gate envelope behaviour. While the Ratio and Range parameters allow just the right effect strength to be dialed in.

Preston Gate can be triggered with an external input, either audio or MIDI. The key signal can be further processed with low and high cut filters to improve gating accuracy.


Fourth.....Jam2Jam

The jam2jam family of software allows people to play music and do video remixing together locally or over the internet. The system is fun and can enhance learning and social interaction. Jam2jam software is used for research by an international team examining the role of network jamming for learning and community arts.
