PSPaudioware pushed out version 1.4.0 of InfiniStrip, and the Earth Edition brings five modules that handle everything from auto-leveling to transient shaping. The zero-latency channel strip added Levelizer for fader-style control, SnapForger for tweaking attack and decay on drums, TiltEQ for tonal shifts, Enhancer for dynamic frequency processing, and BigBass for synthesizing sub frequencies when tracks need extra weight.
The update fixed GUI bugs, added Metal graphics support for macOS, and tweaked the default preset to load with a preQursor EQ and MasterControl module right out of the gate. Session compatibility got better for older projects.
The plugin is going for 99 bucks during the intro period before jumping back to the...
Spectrasonics dropped Omnisphere 3, and the revamp goes way beyond the usual patch dump. The synth got a complete engine rebuild with analog-style drift, 36 fresh filter types, over 600 morphing wavetables, and a new Quadzone system that lets you treat the four layers like separate modulating synths instead of one massive preset. The browser handles 26,000-plus patches with better tagging and instant variations through the Patch Mutation feature.
The standalone Omni FX Rack plugin broke off from the main instrument with 35 effects you can slap on any track without loading the whole synth. Hardware integration expanded to 300-plus controllers, mapping physical knobs to matching parameters.
The update basically transformed Omnisphere...
Chinese investors from the Hunan province operating in Zimbabwe just dropped 50k toward building a specialized classroom block at Chinamano Primary School in Epworth. The facility is aimed at kids with severe disabilities who learn through sensory and physical interaction, and the group's chairman Song Zhuolin made it official during a handover ceremony where they also gave out 4k worth of food hampers.
This is their fourth year doing charity work with the Zimbabwe Parents of Handicapped Children Association, but they decided to switch from throwing parties to something more lasting. The new block will have a classroom, kitchen, showers, and a dining area, with construction expected to kick off in January.
Parents and program managers...
Agricultural Marketing Authority rolled out an inception meeting in Harare, where value chain players are hashing out plans for a new agricultural information repository system. The whole point is getting everyone on the same page about building a data-driven platform that handles regulatory compliance and plugs into existing management systems across the sector.
The meeting is basically about getting stakeholders to sign off on AIRS becoming the go-to national hub for agricultural data. They want people to commit funding and build partnerships so the system can actually work when it launches by early 2026.
The endgame is a self-service platform where organizations can register themselves and manage their own databases while feeding...
A construction site accident in Shamva killed Brighton Francis from Epworth after scaffolding gave way while he worked on a roof at a private building, and police confirmed two other crew members got hurt when debris came down. The dead guy got hit by a metal pole during the collapse, while his coworkers, Stephen Chipupuro and Takawira Nyikayaramaba, ended up with cuts on their legs and faces before getting rushed to the district hospital.
All three men worked for Finder Construction Group out of Harare, and cops said the injured workers are stable after treatment. Authorities hauled the body to the hospital morgue for autopsy, and investigators say nothing sketchy happened based on what they saw at the scene.
Zimbabwe's national soccer supporters group wants fans mobbing the international airport to give the Warriors a massive sendoff before their flight to Morocco for the continental tournament. Association president Joseph Mutawu told people to show up dressed in team colors with flags and noisemakers to create what he called a sea of national pride at the departure terminal.
The squad rolls up around 3 pm to handle their travel paperwork before boarding their outbound flight later that evening. Free shuttles run from a downtown hotel starting at 2 pm for anyone who needs a lift out there and back to the city center after the farewell spectacle wraps up.
Dynamos got slapped with a 4,500-dollar penalty after their squad caused chaos before the Chibuku Super Cup final against Triangle at Gibbo Stadium, and the league dropped another 300 bucks on each technical staffer for the same mess. Coach Kelvin Kaindu and the rest of the technical crew got hit individually with fines after the whole situation delayed the kickoff.
The club basically admitted they screwed up when they showed up to the disciplinary hearing, and the committee decided the punishment fit after hearing what went down. The league's statement confirmed Dynamos accepted responsibility for the delayed start, which went down as disorderly conduct on the official record.
Washington Navaya wants out of Zimbabwe's league after bagging the country's player of the year award, and the 27-year-old striker told reporters he's down to move anywhere in South Africa's top flight if someone brings decent money to his agent. The guy banged in 17 goals for TelOne this season to lead the scoring charts, and apparently, Durban City already gave him a weeklong tryout back in July.
The club seems interested but might wait until AFCON wraps up since Navaya's repping Zimbabwe at the tournament right now. Word is they wanted the domestic season to finish first so they could grab him without a transfer fee, which makes sense for a lower-tier squad trying to save cash.
Mohamed Salah just wrapped up another assist for Liverpool against Brighton before heading to Morocco with Egypt's national squad, and South Africa, Angola, and Zimbabwe are basically sweating bullets because the guy might go nuclear at AFCON while trying to pump his transfer value before January. The Egyptian captain leads the Pharaohs as they chase an eighth continental trophy, and all three group stage matches will be held within seven days starting late this month.
Angola brought in French coach Patrice Beaumelle back in September to fix their World Cup qualification disaster, and captain Fredy sounds pretty hyped about their chances with the new tactical setup. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's prep turned into a total mess after ZIFA left...
