    Impact XT is now right at home in Studio One's MIDI editor. With Studio One v7, PreSonus decided to pull the interface of their Impact drum machine into the Piano Roll/Drum/Note editor window. No more having to deal with floating windows when making beats or fiddling with samples. I wonder if this concept will spread to other instruments, because it is indeed very tidy.

    Thinking of taking your Eurorack on the road? We offer some expert advice... As musicians, we suffer from that inescapable desire to project our music out into the world. With the rise in EMOM (Electronic Music Open Mic) gatherings and consistent interest in experimental electronic music, there’s more opportunity than ever to perform live electronically.

    I am often fascinated by the amount of control and possibility that gets loaded onto a module designed to make one particular sound. In a regular synthesizer or drum machine the kick drum is pretty well defined, and if you’re lucky, you might get a decay or tone control. In Eurorack, you seem to get every control you can think of, which makes me wonder whether anyone is happy with their kick drum. Do we need to be constantly tweaking it into something unique, or at least something else?

    Take your music off‑grid with Studio One’s powerful tempo tools. Nestled amongst the more familiar Global tracks such as Lyrics, Chord, Arranger and Marker tracks is the often ignored Tempo track. The Tempo track keeps pace with the gear changes in our projects and lets us make sudden or smooth alterations in speed. If your music production is dedicated to the truth of a single bpm, then the Tempo track is probably completely unnecessary.

    DivSkip is a four‑channel trigger machine dressed in a dazzling festival of lights. It bombards you with the flashing possibilities and colourful trigger patterns of an all‑night rave. The functionality is based around the tilting and balancing of two outcomes: A or B. Through multiple modes and a handful of mathematicians we get to craft fascinating patterns from Bernoulli coin tosses, Turing algorithms and Euclidean rhythms.

Fab new desktop or Euro mixer from Cre8audio that's as simple and yet fully featured as I am. Could Assembler be the one? https://t.co/APvXAbvkYJ
