Forever 89 just launched Topos, their new plugin that helps you discover classic sound gear tones. The plugin makes blending famous sound colors easy and lets you build speakers with exact details. You can make sounds rich in different ways, from small changes during mixing to big shifts in how everything sounds.
Topos comes packed with copies of famous pedals, recording machines, tape devices, and tube amplifiers. These help you shape music with gear sounds from many decades back. When you find that perfect sound, you can use the Amp Designer screen to make it even better by changing each small part of it. The Amp Map screen helps you look around and mix between different sounds to find new mixes hardware cannot make.

A Florida court found rapper Sean Kingston guilty on all counts of federal wire fraud alongside his mother. The pair faces decades behind bars after scamming various businesses out of $ 1 million (£774,173). Their victims included sellers of jewelry, microLED TVs, and luxury beds across the country. Kingston, whose birth name is Kisean Anderson, must wear an electronic monitor under house arrest until sentencing happens.
The judge ordered Kingston to secure his release with both a house worth $500,000 and $200,000 cash. His mother, Janice Turner, age 64, sits in federal custody awaiting their punishment later this year. Police nabbed the 34-year-old musician last May in Fort Irwin, California. Officers issued his arrest warrant after a...

The Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia recently held an open house to show people what happens behind the scenes. They wanted everyone to learn about blood donation, how they care for donors, and why blood costs money when someone needs it at a hospital.
Zita Tobin spoke for NAMBTS and explained how essential their work remains for saving lives across the country. She said they planned the day to explain their daily operations, show how they protect donor health, and break down the actual costs involved when someone receives life-saving blood.
People who came walked through the whole building. They saw where donors sit to give blood and then visited the lab areas where technicians process each donation. NAMBTS staff explained all...
Water stopped flowing to Narraville at Walvis Bay when a pipe broke early Saturday. The repair crews came fast, but they found the job harder than expected. Workers fixed the broken pipe after digging deep holes and using special machines. The water started coming back to homes later than planned.
The broken pipe measured 250mm across and carried a bulk water supply. Teams showed up right after someone reported the problem Saturday morning. They thought people would have water again by 5 p.m. that day, but they needed special pumps they did not have ready.
Henock Shikongo, acting manager of the water department, explained why fixing the pipe took longer than usual. His teams usually fix similar problems within four to six hours. The...
A close friend to the Schumacher family recently shared sad news about Michael, the famous Ferrari racing champion. Michael had a terrible skiing accident back in 2012 when he was on the slopes with his son Mick, who races cars for Alpine today. Since that day, nobody from the public has seen him. His health stays very private because the family wants it that way.
Reporter Felix Gorner, who knows the family well, talked about how Michael lives these days. He said Michael needs help all the time and relies completely on people who take care of him. Michael cannot talk anymore. Only about twenty people ever come near him these days. His privacy remains strictly guarded by everyone around him.
Michael stays at his home in Switzerland...
Finance Minister Erica Shafudah bumped up money for building projects to N$12.8 billion yesterday. People who make money from government contracts should have plenty of chances to cash in. This cash helps the government pay for major construction work. Shafudah explained that this marks a 22% jump from what they planned to spend last year.
The government earmarked N$2.5 billion for train tracks, N$970 million to build and fix classrooms, N$700 million for housing needs, N$450 million for sports buildings, and N$2.2 billion for water systems. The total national budget reached N$106.3 billion, which tops last year's budget by N$6.2 billion. Popular Democratic Movement leader McHenry Venaani told The Namibian that putting cash into...
Flame Special One Nangolo claimed the WBO Africa Super Featherweight championship on Saturday night. He defeated Felix Ajoma from Ghana at the Roman Catholic Hall in Windhoek. AC Boxing Sport and Entertainment set up the fight card. Fast jabs and hard body shots from the Namibian fighter left his opponent struggling throughout the match.
Nangolo has a perfect record of 12 victories in 12 fights. Four of those wins came by knockout before this bout. Ajoma stepped into the ring with 23 professional matches behind him – 20 wins, two losses, and one draw. Despite having 17 knockout victories himself, the Ghanaian boxer had no answer for Nangolo's quickness and precision. Just two minutes into round four, a stomach hook sent Ajoma to the...
The leader of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces admitted his group pulled back from Khartoum after the army took control of the capital city. Mohamed Hamdan Daglo said on Sunday that his fighters left but promised they would come back stronger. This statement contradicted what the RSF claimed just three days earlier when they said there would be no retreat or surrender, only a repositioning of forces. The army had already declared victory on Thursday, saying they had eliminated the last RSF fighters from the city after nearly two years of fighting.
The conflict has created what United Nations officials describe as the worst hunger crisis in the world. More than twelve million people have lost their homes, tens of thousands have died, and...
