Sinevibes’ creations are all gems running on the ultra-compact, ultra-economical KORG NTS-3 kaoss pad (via logue SDK). But the Cache update is an especially big deal, with new reverse, rewind, and scratch modes. Creator Artemiy Pavlov showed us just how. Cache was designed...

Trigger envelopes and synced patterns of shapes and gates on macOS, Windows, and Linux - for free. GATE-12 by tiagolr has some features you've probably seen before, but combined in clever ways and elegantly integrated, plus the price is right. The post Free GATE-12 gives you ...

GRM Tools was one of the first plug-in suites available, the product of Paris' GRM research center. It's always been a unique, composition-focused toolset. But I've seen its future, and it's on a whole new level, allowing open-ended modulation and multichannel signal...
Bastl Instruments' transformation of the Kastle into the firmware-swappable Kastle 2 line is one of the best things in gear right now. The Wave Bard sample player firmware debuted just before Superbooth, winning over audiences at the packed show with patchable breakbeat...
Amidst the flurry of gear news last week, Roland quietly made their SH-4D synth newer, for free. You get two new oscillator models, pattern chaining, new system-level effects routing, off-grid sub-step entry, and more. Here's what's new: The post Free Roland SH-4d 2.0...

The year was 1992. The artists were techno legends Underground Resistance. But this message from the Europe/Japan release Revolution For Change fits as easily into 2025 as an emancipatory manifesto for music and art. The post Underground Resistance’s message on techno and...

An affordable bank of faders and controls is so sought-after that Novation could have just slightly refreshed Launch Control XL to some applause. But XL 3 does more than that: it's a fully fleshed-out update with deeper control, more buttons and transport, more...

The 1010music story we've been following for some years just reached its dénouement. I'm holding a bento right now, and it lives up to the name: compact, lunchable, perfectly sized portions of everything delicious you'd want. It's a multisampler, slicer, granular, looper,...
Harvestworks, the storied arts center in NYC that has been a hub for electronic music and media since its 1977 founding, is making an urgent appeal. Cuts by the Trump administration's National Endowment for the Arts threaten the space. The post Harvestworks, NYC arts center ...
This is the Ableton Move update we've been waiting for. Ableton's compact controller/standalone now gets proper MIDI implementation and slices up samples. Plus, you get the Auto Filter from Live 12.2. That's in addition to other recent updates. Here's your guide to what's...

Konstantinos Soublis, aka Fluxion, has been quietly pushing the boundaries of dub techno and experimental electronic music for over two decades. His latest album, Haze, represents a profound exploration of musical storytelling. For CDM, he breaks down that work track by...
The 1982 Poly-61 was a grimy, cheap, raw-sounding quintessential 80s synth. It doesn't have any of the star power of other Korg instruments or rivals from Roland and Sequential. So instead of a commercial remake, what we get is free. But it's fantastic. It's way better than...

We need to talk about how good Fat Bard's game soundtracks are. Super Space Club rebooted Asteroids as 'a lo-fi space shooter to chill to,' set to the St. Louis production duo's beats - and that game is free right now on Epic Game Store. So grab that. But it doesn't end...
Developer Oliver Greschke (MoMinstruments) built an AUv3 iOS synth around the DSP from Emilie Gillet's legendary open-source Mutable Instruments Plaits VCO. Elastic OSC gives you unique touch-based controls, plus new features that let you use Plaits' sound palette as a...

We've got physical modeling for instruments, so why not pair them with physical modeling in 3D objects? Anukari is the latest instrument to do that, with lovely-looking modeled visuals and the ability to run as a plug-in as well as standalone. The post 3D masses, springs,...
A musician-led initiative is aiming to bring more plug-ins to Linux. That includes promoting developers (both proprietary and libre/open source), featuring software for users, and answering developer questions. Linux Audio Plugin Development (LAPD) is already worth a look;...

Okay Bitwig Studio fans: your hardware has arrived. Bitwig's own Connect 4/12 is available now (and yes, that includes the beleaguered market of the USA). Plus Melbourne Instruments' appetizing-looking Roto-Control with its motorized knobs now has Bitwig Studio support,...

Have you ever, half-asleep, felt a melody drift with ease through your brain, humming with electricity, only to lose it again? In The Vapornet, Claudia Khachan and Ziad Moukarzel mind-meld in a collaboration that makes that moment come alive. The post Must-listen: Claudia...

SpaceBlender is technically a reverb, but don't think of SpaceBlender as a reverb. Soundtoys' new 'imaginary space machine' uses a unique algorithm to produce rich new timbres and deep, cosmic, smeared wormholes of sound and texture. It's a cross-breed of swarm synthesis and ...

Nazar's Demilitarize, out this month on Hyperdub, is essential listening - reimagined Angolan kuduro DNA woven into a sound world inspired by processing trauma and absorbing the ethos of anime classic Ghost in the Shell. It follows two releases that responded to the civil...
