Happy birthday today, December 31, to Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha. If any song sums up 2025 and the threat to civilians from drone warfare, it’s his cover of “Sheel Sheel Ya Ajmal Sheel” tuned with the whine of the weapons buzzing overhead. On his birthday and New Year’s Eve, the ar...
What's your New Year's Resolution? I mean, use more music software, obviously. Why, someone has some other goals? Let's get you started with Autodafe, who posted a handy guide to getting up and running with the JE-8086 reverse-engineered emulation of the Roland JP-8000 (and...
I won’t mince words about the year – on a global scale, things seemed to be falling apart. I’ve likely been to more protests and rallies in 2025 than since before COVID. But we have each other, and we have empathy, and we do what we can. The post 2025 in review:...

Digital preservation is the new challenge for synths, just as it is in areas like games. And the Roland JP-8000 got a big leg up with a free and open source release from The Usual Suspects available this month, the JE8086. It’s one of several recent emulations, so let’s talk...

Food comas. Empty wrapping paper. Or whatever you're celebrating, hopefully you've got some time off to grab a slew of free synth-y gifts available to download right now. Need a soundtrack? 1987 and Atari ST have you covered. The post Boxing Day: get those xmas freebies and...
In its bones, Eterna for monome norns returns to some of the original success of monome: doing imaginative, intuitive, musical things with slices. A single audio file transforms via 6-voice sampler/sequencer and 12-page interface into everything from delicate ambient...

Much about The Black Dog was and remains wrapped in an air of mystery and mischief, so perhaps it’s unsurprising that Ken Downie’s death this week came as an unexpected shock to those outside of his small immediate circle. The post “Magic Can Be Fun”: remembering Ken ...

A Web-native version of FL Studio generated a lot of buzz -- and some confusion. Was this replacing the desktop version? (Absolutely not.) Was it part of some larger AI play? (Mostly Suno users seemed to think that.) Image-Line responded to my questions with their side of...
As part of CDM's year-end coverage, I'm rounding up some of the best music and sound design in games. There's nowhere better to start than Despelote, a beautifully designed and directed game that will move you by putting you in the shoes of a kid in 2001 Quito, Ecuador. It's ...

There are few places on Earth where you can see the state of the live light and sound industry quite like Las Vegas' LDI show. It comes with all the usual trade show trappings, from industrial espionage and theft to insanely expensive booths (and wastebaskets). But it also...

It’s some serious experimental gear pr0n, if you’re in the mood. It’s mysterious. It’s the creation of Buenos Aires-based Martin Grieco, Rocío Gal, and team. And it seems it’s getting closer to reality, as glimpsed in a new site and teaser. It’s the Nopia, and creators hope...
