Cambridge-based Blaknblu released Doug, a dual-purpose modulation module for Eurorack synthesizer systems. The device combines LFO and envelope generator functions within a single unit that musicians can configure for various applications. Doug operates as either a six-phase envelope generator or a multi-waveform LFO depending on user requirements. The module provides flexible modulation sources that enhance electronic music production capabilities.
Doug extends traditional ADSR envelope design by adding Wait and Hold phases for enhanced control. Wait delays the attack phase while Hold maintains signal levels before decay begins. The module features Gate and Trigger inputs alongside two identical outputs configured for unipolar or...

The hardware provides one MIDI input alongside eight dedicated outputs using standard five-pin DIN connections. A USB-C port enables direct computer connectivity for MIDI data transmission. Users benefit from ultra-low latency signal processing and individual...
Techivation has launched M-Imager, a stereo widening processor that joins the company's M-Series plugin collection. The software employs phase-only, time-varying spectral decorrelation technology to create stable stereo enhancement without typical phase artifacts. Musicians can adjust stereo width using the central Widen control while monitoring results through an integrated goniometer display. The interface features input/output meters alongside Mid and Side gain adjustments for precise signal balance control.
The plugin preserves original transients and maintains left-right channel balance during processing. A dynamic EQ section occupies the lower interface area and applies linear-phase high-shelf filtering exclusively to side...
South Africa's Constitutional Court delivered a landmark judgment Thursday declaring that men may adopt their wives' surnames after marriage. The nation's highest judicial authority determined that existing provisions within the Births and Deaths Registration Act violate constitutional principles through gender-based discrimination.

Henry van der Merwe sought to assume his wife Jana Jordaan's family name, while Andreas Nicolaas Bornman attempted to hyphenate his surname with that of his spouse Jess Donnelly-Bornman. Both applications faced rejection from the Department of Home Affairs.
