Waveform Free is my top pick for anyone who wants a real, full-featured DAW without spending money. Here’s why it beat the competition. [...]

Eurorack in Techno 2026: Why Does a Modular System Belong in a Modern Techno Setup?

GearNews · January 15Jan 15

Eurorack in Techno: The techno genre has always been about more than patterns and presets. It’s about movement, tension, repetition, and the organic development of a track. This is exactly where the various Eurorack modules come in. They are not a shortcut or a “one-knob magic” solution, but rather a toolbox for producers who want to create techno music rather than just arrange it. We want to show you what you need for this.

When the press release dropped on the Gearnews desk, a colleague was overheard saying, “How do they still come up with new stuff to add to this thing?” We chuckled, but seriously, how do Arturia do it?

Yamaha MODX M8 vs Yamaha Montage M8X

James · December 5, 2025Dec 5

Synth-shopping is one of those delightful rabbit holes where technology, creativity, and philosophy collide. Yamaha’s MODX M8 and Montage M8X share the same genetic code — three powerful sound engines — but they live in different worlds when it comes to feel, performance depth, and long-term ambition.

Introducing Absynth 6: The iconic hybrid synth returns with unprecedented depth and expression

Native Instruments · December 9, 2025Dec 9

Absynth has a long, storied history of surreal sound. The strange textures and dreamlike tones return with Absynth 6, the latest in this prestigious line of semi-modular synths.
