Kanu Case Takes a Peaceful Turn in Court

Serdashop TM32 brings retro MT32 vibes in a pocket synth
The Serdashop TM32 brings back the classic sound of the '80s and '90s video games. This little box plays music just like the famous Roland MT-32 from 1987.

Dale Whinham built special software called MT32Pi that turns a tiny Raspberry Pi computer into a music maker. The TM32 uses this program on a Pi Zero 2W with 512 MB memory. It plays up to 128 notes at once across 16 different instruments. The system handles both General MIDI sounds and custom SoundFont files as large as 400 MB. You might think a small device would have delay problems, but the TM32 has super-fast response times. Everything...

Zoom H5studio ups the recording game
Zoom created a new H5studio recorder that uses 32-bit float technology. This handheld device joins Zoom's family of premium audio recorders. It packs six tracks plus F-Series preamps into its compact body. Audio experts love 32-bit float recording because it completely prevents sound clipping. Zoom adopted 32-bit recording early, adding it across its product lineup. It already refreshed the H1, H4, and H6 models as part of its HEssential series. The H5 model remained absent from that collection until recently. Zoom decided against putting the new H5studio in the HEssential group. This updated H5 gives you recording choices other models lack.
