New iMac is very thin ( around 80% thinner than before).
Still 27" and 21.5", but we are surprised it's not retina display (2560x1440 and 1920x1080). We've seen also a FaceTime HD camera and stereo speakers.
- Processors: Intel Core i5 and i7,
- Connexions: 4 USB3 ports, 2 Thunderbolt ports, up to 3TB storage, SD card slot (on the rear). Where is the FW800?
- Price: 1299$.

Apple and 13' MacBook Pro Retina today? It's not really a rumour and many web sites confirm today Apple will announce a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display...
the MacBook Pro 13' Retina would come with a screen resolution of 2,560-by-1,600 pixels, expectedly lower than the 15-inch model's 2,880-by-1,800-pixel screen. It would be more expensive than the "Classic" 13'. 1699$

Oct 22 - 02:52 PM | Music Hardware > Eowave |
After 2 years of development, Eowave announces the release of the MAGMA, Eowave's new analogue bassline synthesizer with sequencer and memory.
The MAGMA makes you go back into the 80's sounds with sonorities like Eurythmics, Nitzer Ebb, Depeche Mode...
The sound engine is inspired from the SH series by Roland, which had this waveform mix and a sequencer. Though, the idea of the MAGMA was not to make a copy of a vintage synth, but to build a new synth with the best of today's analogue and digital technology. We wanted to build a synth with a very specific texture of sound, sounds like the magma, something warm, thick and fat. We've added modern controls and a memory with 256 presets. Presets can be edited with a free editor. USB connection offers MIDI over USB and firmware update of the sequencer.
