LIQUID SKY d-vices Introduces the SMUDGETIZER PRO
video uploads by liquid sky artistcollective & liquid sky d-vices
Update: videos added above.

Details:
"LIQUID SKY d-vices SMUDGETIZER PRO
2 bit bitcrusher desktop multi FX
at this year’s SynthFest France,
the Liquid Sky artistcollective from Santana dada Serra, Portugal
launches the first chapter of a new experimental desktop multi fx series
built in the beloved zen delay format.
all units are handcrafted in Santana dada Serra and designed to connect worlds:
cv / gate inputs meet midi clock–syncable modulations - engineered for maximum audio wreckage.
this is not about polite breadnbutter effects:
our d-vices are sonic troublemakers for bad ass artists, noiseheads and
experimental sound labs.
the series begins with the SMUDGETIZER PRO 2bit bitcrusher —
a beautifully destructive stereo machine with integrated lfos,
ready to bend, fkk up, break, and reassemble your sound into something floor-shakingly new and evil.
developed by Thilo Goldschmitz,
it works with pretty much anything you throw at it:
guitars, bass, drums and drum machines, synths, voices,
worldreceivers and of course… noise.
starting today, the pedal is available for PREORDER at:
https://liquidskyeurope.com/products/liquid-sky-d-vices-smudgetizer-pro-pedal
a eurorack version is coming too: 40 hp wide.
yes, we know that’s a lot of rack space.
yes, it’s intentionally big. we love instruments you can actually play.
no, we’re not making a smaller version.
and yes, we’re friends… but you don’t have to remind us every five minutes that it’s a lot of rack space.
<3 :)
the eurorack edition will be available in autumn.
price for the pedal: 299 eur plus vat plus shipping."

Drift DJ Industries Unveils Zero Pocket-Sized Mixing, Playback and Recording Device
video uploads by Drift DJ Industries
Press release follows:


Drift DJ Industries Unveils Zero, a pocket-sized mixing, playback and recording device for djs and electronic musicians
CHICAGO, April 13, 2026. Drift DJ Industries announces Zero, a palm-sized, battery-powered, all-in-one audio mixing, performance and recording system. With its portability and instant-on playability, Zero’s standalone 2-deck DJ system empowers DJs to break outside of the booth and bring their sound to any space. Through it’s DAWless and hybrid DJ-oriented external device sync, audio signal mixing, deep routing configuration and built-in recorder, Zero collapses key functions into a single machine, reducing the amount of hardware required to craft any sound.
Zero: Portable DJ, DAWless, Mixing and Recording
Big-Rig DJ-Features in the Palm of Your Hand
Don’t be fooled by Zero’s small size. Its robust feature set includes DJ-quality time-stretching, dedicated headphone cues, filters and FX for each playback deck. With physical controls organized in a familiar-two channel DJ mixer layout, our device is perfect for DJs who want to forgo larger laptop and controller-based setups while retaining the tactile feedback not found on mobile apps. Leave the cables and power supplies at home. Never get a meeting invite in the middle of a mix.
Compact Machine with DAW-Like Powers
Zero’s wildly-flexible signal routing UI lets users control every link in the signal path. Glue together any collection of music-making gear by routing signals from aux busses and the decks between the analog and USB I/O ports.
For example: Route audio from a Dirtywave M8 and a Roland S-1 into Zero’s analog input ports, and individually trim and EQ each device. Bus those signals together and send/return to a Hologram Chroma Console. Route that signal into the crossfader to mix the effected M8 and S-1 sound with the DJ decks. Add an OXI E-16 and map individual knobs to the M8 and S-1 bus’s post-fader, EQ controls and bi-modal filter cutoff (input control mapping is slated for post-launch release). Record several minutes of knob-tweaking as a .wav file to Zero's internal storage. Re-import that .wav file, add cuepoints and a beatgrid, and loop and layer it in with other inputs and DJ playback.
Built to Evolve
Zero is a new hardware platform and a custom Linux distribution running front-end software from our own publicly-available open source SDK. It ships with the DJ playback, library, external sync, signal routing and recording features, and it includes on-device software management for easy install of future updates. Planned updates include control input mapping, video output for streamers, third-party library support (including rekordbox and Engine DJ) and accessibility features. It fits in a fanny pack, but Zero will develop new capabilities by the truckload.
See our device specs and release roadmap for more info.
Meet Zero in Person
Stop by our exhibitor tables at the following events:
SynthFest France, Nantes, April 17th-19th
Superbooth, Berlin, May 7th-9th
Pricing and Availability
Zero is in presale and priced at $899, with an expected release date of Summer 2026.

CME Introduces Low Jitter Wireless MIDI with WIDI v2.6.0
Press release follows:
WIDI Evolution: New Firmware Sets Benchmark for Wireless MIDI Performance
CME announces the release of WIDI firmware v2.6.0, a major update that significantly improves timing stability in wireless MIDI applications.
With this update, WIDI achieves sub-1 millisecond jitter in WIDI-to-WIDI connections, setting a new benchmark for wireless MIDI performance.
In addition, grouped connections benefit from up to 60% lower latency, delivering a more stable and reliable experience in complex setups.
Over the past six years, WIDI has become one of the most widely adopted wireless MIDI solutions, with more than 250,000 devices in use worldwide. The platform is used across live performance, studio production, education, and mobile music creation.
CEO Zhao Yitian: “Wireless MIDI has always been about removing barriers without compromising performance. This progress is the result of long-term engineering focus, combined with real-world feedback from musicians. It sets a new reference point for what wireless performance can be.”
Key Highlights
Sub-1 ms jitter (WIDI to WIDI, Low Jitter Mode)
Up to 60% lower latency in grouped connections
Improved MIDI clock stability and timing consistency
The update is available free of charge via the WIDI App and supports the full WIDI ecosystem, including products from partners such as Korg, Kurzweil, Nektar, Limex, Xvive, ESI, Artesia and others.
Given the scale of the WIDI user base and the technical significance of this update, this release is highly relevant for musicians, developers, and the broader music technology industry.
Availability
Firmware v2.6.0 is available now via the WIDI App.
Playing with Parting - Old Blood Noise Endeavors & Emily Hopkins
video upload by Molten Music Technology
"Running a simple bass line through the stunning Parting glitch/ambient machine and exploring the sounds. It's a very touchy feely pedal that's wasted on guitarists and really should be a Eurorack module. Full review coming soon from a synth perspective.
I bought this pedal myself."


"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls
Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.
Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.
Depth sets the depth of the LFO.
Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope
Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.
Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.
Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.
Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.
Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.
Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.
Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.
Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"
