Arturia's FX Collection 6 adds two new effects and a $99 intro version

Pitch Shifter-910 is based on the iconic Eventide H910 Harmonizer from 1974, an early digital pitchshifter and delay with a very unique character. Arturia does an admirable job preserving its glitchy quirks. Pitch Shifter-910 is not a transparent effect that lets you create natural-sounding harmonies with yourself. Instead, it relishes in its weirdness, delivering chipmunk vocals at the higher ranges. There is also a more modern mode that cleans up some artifacts while preserving what makes the 910 so special.

Yamaha's Sail and Butterfly speakers reimagine how sound takes shape - Yanko Design

Few brands move as fluidly between precision engineering and artistic expression as Yamaha. From concert grand pianos to motorcycles and professional audio systems, the company has long treated sound as both science and sculpture. Its latest speculative speaker concepts continue that philosophy, challenging the conventional box-shaped loudspeaker with forms that are lighter, more interactive, and visually dynamic. Rather than refining the familiar rectangular enclosure, Yamaha's design team rethinks how sound radiates into space and how users physically engage with it.

Korg's new experimental synthesizer combines acoustic sounds with electronic control

The Phase8 uses a new form of "acoustic synthesis" that combines acoustic sound generation with electronic control. Takahashi says the synthesizer is "beyond analog vs. digital" and "beyond electronics" altogether. It features chromatically tuned steel resonators, which creates an acoustic sound similar to that of a kalimba. These signals can be manipulated via onboard effects and sequenced like a traditional synthesizer. Here's a video of the synth in action.
