"SynthStamp is a celebration of the history of electronic music, featuring fully modeled engines and familiar user interfaces behind some of the most influential synthesizers. Tap and drag to patch, save your patch as a preset, and export presets to share across all of your devices including Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Yes that’s right, iPhone. Take your sound anywhere.
INSTRUMENTS
5001 Analog Synthesizer — based on the ARP 2600
B500 Sampling Keyboard — based on the Casio SK-1
All synths are modeled. For the SK-1, the sample engine is modeled, making this synth technically sample-based outside of synthesized partials mode. Circuit bending is free within a fixed set of points that can be patched in any combination to achieve a variety of effects you would get with real bending.

KEY FEATURES
- AUv3 compatible
- Full MIDI support
- Stereo audio input
- Share presets across all devices

"At this year’s SynthFest France, Cornel Hecht and Dr Walker from the Liquid Sky artistcollective go full in.
They will present a prototype of the PPG Modular 300.
A cult classic reborn
Like the legendary PPG 1002 Mk2, the PPG 300 is built entirely by hand, one unit at a time.
Each component is carefully selected, not just by specification, but by ear.
Every vco is individually tested and matched, acknowledging the subtle variations that make analog circuits come alive.
The team promises finest analog sound:
Raw, deep, and precise enough to satisfy the most demanding ears.
Visitors are invited to experience the instrument in person at the Liquid Sky booth, talk to the Liquid Sky family, and dive into their universe of music / experimental films / trees and dada art.
If you can’t make it to Synthfest France, the PPG 300 sound monster will appear live at the 303 Years of Liquid Sky Cologne at Artheater Cologne Ehrenfeld on may 30.
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.
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.
"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"
