Polyverse has released Filterverse 1.2, a free (for existing customers) update to its experimental multi-filter plugin for macOS and Windows. The new version adds five creative filter modules, boosts CPU performance, and introduces several workflow enhancements. Filterverse was already one of the most interesting filter plugins out there (we covered the original release last year), but version 1.2 makes it even more flexible and expressive. The five new modules are especially worth your attention if you like filters with lots of flexibility. They all have unique personalities and open up new modulation and sound design possibilities. My personal favorite is…

Start enhancing your electronic music with acoustic instruments Thanks to Alignment for pulling back the curtain on how melody fits into his process. The Mystical Energy EP hits hard, but what makes it stick is the emotional contrast. Using tools like Noire and Kontakt, he finds subtle ways to add tension, atmosphere, and humanity to tracks that could otherwise lean wholly into the mechanical. What’s clear is that melody isn’t a soft edge in his world – it’s a pressure point. Even a few well-placed notes can shift the weight of a track, heighten the intensity, or pull the listener…

As you probably know, Target has been under an ongoing boycott. It’s been bubbling for a while now, ever since the company decided to quietly remove diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) from its corporate priorities. DEI has been a political lightning rod lately. But let’s keep it real. Donald Trump basically gave corporations the greenlight to stop doing anything that even resembles support for marginalized communities. Now, DEI has somehow become a dirty word, even though the whole point was to address systemic inequalities in American society. And if we’re being honest, white women have been the biggest beneficiaries of DEI programs,…

Donald Trump is doing a lot. The president of the United States threw political gasoline on two of America’s biggest cities, floating the idea of federal takeovers of New York City and Washington D.C. On top of that, he called mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani out of his name, among other things. Trump’s unfiltered rant happened during a Cabinet meeting inside the White House. He didn’t endorse anyone, but he did talk bad about Mamdani, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist. “We’re not going to have…if a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same,” Trump said. “But…
