Sound Radix dropped their first synth called Radical1 after years of making mixing plugins, and the additive synthesis engine can supposedly run tens of thousands of oscillators without melting your CPU. The Mac-only preview version lets you morph between timbres with fluid oscillators, draw harmonics directly onto the spectrum, or resample audio into controllable additive structures. The GUI shows everything happening at once with no hidden routing to confuse you, and it supports MPE for expressive controller freaks.
You can stack unlimited layers and modulation sources while the interface scales up for high-res displays. Effects racks cover MIDI sequencing, standard time-domain processing, and spectral manipulation that bends...
Political scientist Kaloyan Metodiev says Rosen Zhelyazkov's government had zero options left after 250,000 protesters showed up across three demonstrations, representing maybe a million people when you count their families and online supporters. The cabinet made a bunch of dumb moves and essentially killed itself, but Metodiev warns this resignation is just a tactical retreat rather than an actual defeat. He told everyone to keep up the pressure because the real fight starts during election season and budget negotiations.
Sociologist Svetlin Tachev compared the situation to the 2018-2019 protests and said the scandals destroyed any remaining trust, while journalist Veselin Stoynev called Boyko Borisov's strategy an illegitimate dodge...
Bulgarian Deputy PM Grozdan Karadjov wrote to EU Transport Commissioner Apostolos Dzidzikostas, complaining that Greek farmers blocking border crossings are creating 30-kilometer truck queues on the Maritsa highway. The blockades are mixing up vehicles trying to reach Greece with ones headed to Turkey, and Karadjov says this whole mess violates EU rules about the free movement of goods.
He wants Brussels to lean on Athens and force them to follow a 1998 regulation that makes member states protect international transport from disruptions. Karadjov argued the protests are screwing up connections between Bulgaria, the rest of Europe, and countries outside the bloc, and he demanded immediate action to prevent future roadblocks at this border.
Bulgaria's Fiscal Council torched the 2026 budget draft and told lawmakers to scrap it after PM Rosen Zhelyazkov got booted from office. The watchdog says revenue projections are way too optimistic and could miss targets by up to 4.7 billion euros, while spending keeps ballooning to around 5 percent of GDP. They want the government to dump automatic salary hikes that wreck the budget balance and start building bigger financial cushions instead of barely hitting the 1.5 percent GDP requirement.
Public debt is climbing at an alarming rate from 29 percent of GDP this year to 37 percent by 2028, and interest payments are about to triple from half a billion euros to 1.8 billion. The council warned that draining 100 percent of dividends from...
Bulgaria dropped 1.2 million leva to yank the grounded tanker Kairos off the rocks near Ahtopol after the Turkish-flagged vessel beached itself last week. The Transport Ministry lined up three tugboats and a generator to power up the ship's hydraulic systems and haul anchor, with the whole rescue operation set to wrap up over the weekend if the weather cooperates. Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev and Deputy PM Grozdan Karadjov grilled Turkey's ambassador about how the tanker even got into Bulgarian waters.
Turkey's diplomat admitted some random private company ran the operation without telling the Turkish government anything about it. An investigation has already started on their end, and they promised to keep the Bulgarian authorities...
BSP leader Atanas Zafirov said his party heard the protesters and pushed the government to resign because citizens were fed up with corruption. The Socialist coalition joined the ruling majority for stability but bailed when public anger hit a breaking point, and Zafirov claimed left-wing parties always put the country above party drama. He pointed to BSP wins like cracking down on sketchy care homes and handling the water shortage, but the party refuses to back a 1.2 billion euro guarantee for Ukraine.
Zafirov wants left-leaning groups to reunite and admitted young people showed up hard at the demonstrations. Deputy PM Rumen Petkov said BSP took the biggest hit from joining the cabinet but stood firm on democratic principles despite...
The European Commission said Bulgaria is locked into joining the eurozone, no matter what happens with the government collapsing right before the switch. An EC spokesperson confirmed that every decision got finalized already, and the country had checked off all the requirements for the currency changeover on January 1.
The nationalist Vazrazhdane party tried pushing for a one-year delay, but Brussels basically told them the ship had already sailed. The whole eurozone entry became irreversible once all the paperwork went through, and political chaos at home cannot change that outcome anymore.
Bulgarian lawmakers unanimously dumped Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov with 227 votes after a debate that turned into a total shitshow between coalition partners. Former allies from There Is Such a People and PP-DB went at each other with some absolutely unhinged insults while Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski skipped the whole thing.
Toshko Yordanov from There Is Such a People called out PP-DB for their constitutional changes with Peevski, and Yavor Bojankov fired back with a weird colonoscopy comparison that involved a Pakistani vet. The ministers themselves bailed on watching their own government collapse, and the whole mess wrapped up in under two hours of parliamentary chaos.
Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev admitted his city botched trash pickup in the Lyulin neighborhood after transferring the waste plant operations to Zone 3, but they finally got most areas back on track. The municipality threw everything at the mess with equipment, workers, and random volunteers helping clear the backlog. Terziev owned up to the screwup and said he would be out there himself working alongside crews.
Most of Lyulin is getting daily pickups again after microdistricts 10, 9, and 8 got sorted out, followed by 1, 2, and most of 3. The remaining sections should be fixed by tomorrow. Volunteers are handling bulky waste collection to finish cleaning up the disaster from early this month.
