When you get it, you'll see a SongDNA card 'on supported tracks'. If you tap this, you can explore the writers, producers, and collaborators behind a song, see samples and interpolations that shaped its sound, and browse the covers it inspired.
We are extremely excited to share that MotionVFX is joining the Apple team to continue to empower creators and editors to do their best work. For over 15 years, we've been on a mission to create world-class, visually inspiring content and effects for video editors. From the very beginning, we've been all about quality, ease of use, and great design. These are also the values that we admire most in Apple's products.
The company says it designed Tembo to "enable everyone to create music from the very first touch." Co-founder David Davidov that most instruments take "so long to get to the fun part" and that Musical Beings wanted to "help people experience music as something they do, not just something they listen to."
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.
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.
Prompting Systems: Lifetime Subscription addresses this workflow bottleneck with an AI-powered prompting platform that transforms basic ideas into professionally structured prompts across all major AI platforms. Rather than learning complex prompt engineering techniques for each AI tool separately, business users gain access to a unified system that handles ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, DALL-E, and other leading platforms. Turn any idea into expert-level AI output
In recent years, multimedia content has firmly established itself online, fueled by the development of high-speed Internet technologies as well as the growing availability of tools for creating and editing video. The global lockdowns also contributed to this process by forcing people to look for similar alternatives on the web. If integrating video into your communications sounds like an overwhelming investment, start leveraging your products with music and audio that are often underestimated by marketers.
Roland just unveiled the Go:Mixer Studio, a powerful entry in the company's line of audio interfaces. This one promises to be a portable and affordable way to create high-quality recordings with a smartphone or PC. The biggest news here are the 12 input channels and six output channels. This means that users can record multiple instruments at once and even run the signal through outboard gear if so desired.
Roland now offers a more capable audio mixer for phones and tablets with the launch of the Go:Mixer Studio. The Go:Mixer audio interface lineup has always been a bit limited, better suited for scrappy live streams and capturing quick demos on their phones than professional recording. The Go:Mixer Studio is an attempt to actually reach that lofty goal, with more inputs and outputs, built-in effects, and up to 24-bit / 192kHz audio.
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.
If you love using Firefly, Adobe's AI-first content creation suite, the company is opening up access for the next six weeks to give you even more generations. Through March 16, users can create unlimited images and videos up to 2K resolution via Firefly's website, Firefly Boards, and the free Firefly app for iOS and Android (more on each below). Firefly lets users generate royalty-free music, sound effects, and try features like the viral Generative Fill.
First of all, it offers four times the processing power of previous MPCs, which is enough to load up to 32 virtual instruments at the same time. This is assisted by a full 16GB of RAM, which is a whole lot in this era of AI tomfoolery. The XL can handle 16 audio tracks simultaneously. In my experience with previous units, this is more than enough for a full song.
As discovered by Dealabs, Sony will likely unveil its LinkBuds Clip (WF-LC900), which features an open-ear design with the buds attaching around the earlobe. A listing from an Indonesian retailer revealed the design and key specs of the LinkBuds Clip, which are expected to feature adaptive volume control, 360 Reality Audio support and background music effect found on previous LinkBuds models.
Both turntables include one-button automatic playback - which starts the turntable, raises and lowers the tonearm on the vinyl, and returns the tonearm to its resting position once the record ends - a transparent dust cover to keep colored vinyl printings visible as the record plays, and a built-in switchable EQ to select between phono and line-level output. A USB output allows you to convert your vinyl to a digital file and has a three-level output gain selector with low, mid, and high settings. The two turntables also support 96kHz/24-bit wireless aptX Adaptive hi-res Bluetooth audio.
Bandcamp has announced it will no longer allow AI-generated music to be hosted on its platform. In a post shared on Reddit, the company's support team revealed their plans to implement a policy prohibiting "any use of AI tools to impersonate other artists or styles," elaborating more firmly that "music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp."
Junho Park's graduation concept borrows all the right cues from TE's playbook, that modular control layout, the single bold color, the mix of knobs and buttons that practically beg to be touched, but redirects them toward a gap in the market. Where Teenage Engineering designs for people who already understand synthesis and sampling, the T.M-4 targets people who have ideas but no vocabulary to express them.
Designed by Korean up-and-comer Woojin Yang, Everglow is a handheld mini-keyboard that fits into any bag. The "musical sketchbook" of sorts allows artists to quickly jot down ideas when they're not in front of their instruments or computers. The sleekly-designed device comes with a generative AI-based sound system that allows them to iterate and develop a song on the spot, not just transcribe the initial tune.
Listening to music has mostly collapsed into phones and streaming apps, buried between notifications and multitasking. Some people still crave a single-purpose device that treats listening as the main event, not background noise. The MP-1 is an independent concept study that asks what a modern Walkman could look like if it borrowed Teenage Engineering's design language, without being affiliated with the company or trying to become an official product at all.
