Cutting Steel Gears with Homemade EDM
Electrostatic discharge machining (EDM) may be slower than alternatives like laser cutting, water jets, or a milling machine, but for some applications there’s no alternative: it can cut through any conductive material, no matter how hard, and it leaves no mechanical or thermal stress in the workpiece. Best of all, they’re relatively accessible for a resourceful hacker, such as [Inofid], who recently built the second iteration of his desktop wire EDM.
The EDM’s motion system comes from a cheap desktop CNC router, which had a water tank mounted in its workspace and had the spindle replaced with a wire-management mechanism. The wire-management mechanism needs to continuously wind a tensioned brass wire from one spool through the cutting zone onto another spool. The tensioning system uses two motors: one to pull the wire through, and one to maintain tension by slightly counteracting it, with a tension sensor and Ardunio to maintain the proper tension. If it detects that the wire has broken, it can stop the CNC controller. To keep the wire from breaking or short-circuiting with the workpiece, a current monitor counts sparks between the wire and workpiece and uses this to predict whether the wire is getting too close to the metal, in which case it slows down the movement.
As a first test, [Inofid] cut through a five by three centimeters-thick block of aluminium, taking two hours but producing a clean cut. To speed up the next cut, [Inofid] added a pump and filter to remove sludge from the cutting area. The next cut was an aluminium gear, and then a meshing steel gear, which took about ten hours but turned out well.
EDMs of various kinds appear here from time to time, particularly since the popularization of 3D printers. We’ve even seen one built into a lathe.

Thanks to [Keith Olson] for the tip!

The next drop of Telepathic Instruments’ Orchid is imminent – and this time it sports a transparent designThe momentum never seems to stop for Telepathic Instruments; hot off the back of the official launch of the Orchid companion app Pistil, the Kevin Parker-headed brand has revealed details about the next drop of the groundbreaking Orchid synth, which this time arrives with a limited-edition clear Arctic design.
In reality, it hasn’t been long since the Orchid landed on the market. The music producer community first caught wind of the chord-generating synthesizer in late 2024, and in less than two years, the unit has become an industry favourite, named as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025, and more importantly, in our favourite new studio gear roundup of last year.

Now, a new drop of Orchids is set to land on 11 May, with the transparent limited-edition Clear Orchid: Arctic variant capped at 3,000 units worldwide, plus a bunch of classic Orchid colourways alongside it.
To mark the launch, Telepathic Instruments has created a new short film, TeleVision, which you can watch below:

The film sees Darlene LeClair – a “musical medium of considerable charisma and questionable credentials” – channel the cosmos to aid “creatively crunched musicians”. Narrated by Queens of the Stone Age leader and Orchid owner Josh Homme, the film also sees endorsements from familiar faces including Lewis Capaldi, Janelle Monae and Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst.
“Lewis Capaldi, Janelle Monae, Fred Durst and Josh Homme are Orchid owners. They’re also, as it turns out, longtime Darlene clients. We didn’t plan that. Darlene probably did.”

Orchid has also been adopted by the likes of Kid Cudi, Diplo, Ryan Tedder, Fred again.., Joy Anonymous, Madison Beer, Logic, Mark Hoppus and many more.
Clear Orchid: Arctic and the classic Orchid will be available exclusively through the Telepathic Instruments website. Members of the waitlist will receive priority access to regional drops (9AM PDT for North America and 10AM CEST) on 11 May, ahead of the wider public launch an hour later.

Beyond Abysnth: Into the depths of Native Instruments’ Komplete 26Ad feature with Native Instruments
Native Instruments Komplete 26 is here, and with it comes the return of an old friend. The mighty Absynth 6 has rejoined Native Instruments’ lineup, and, like some sort of green eclipse, its resurrection has drawn so much focus that we can all be forgiven for missing the other incredible instruments joining the mega bundle.
Across the three core editions – Standard, Ultimate, and Collectors – there are goodies aplenty. Here are a few standouts that might have flown under your radar.

Speedy Songwriting
One of Komplete’s biggest drawcards is its ability to cater to a range of different workflows. There are times when you want in-depth control over every parameter, and times when quickness is key – and the new Session Guitarist Neon Essentials falls neatly into the latter category. Available in the Standard edition, it sounds slick immediately, has a streamlined UI, and comes with ‘song’ patterns to get an arrangement past those pesky writer’s blocks.
Native Instruments Komplete 26: Session Guitarist Electric Neon
As it says on the tin, this instrument boils things down to the ‘essentials’, and so you don’t get all the playing techniques of a full-fledged Session instrument, but in practice, I find Neon’s four includes articulations (open, muted, flageolet, and tremolo) more than enough to get started. And, while I could easily have been satisfied with the 30-odd amp and effects presets that come with the instrument, I couldn’t resist running the signal through Guitar Rig 7 Pro to open up new vistas of tone.
Anyone familiar with Komplete will already know the Guitar Rig series, but I feel compelled to state that this has become one of my absolute essential tools – not just for guitars, but for sound design too. I’ve put everything from vocals to bird tweets to a recording of an espresso machine through this thing, and every time I end up getting something surprising.
Since first joining the Komplete lineup in version 14, another set of essentials has been the Brainworx suite of mixing and mastering tools. In particular, I regularly pull up bx_glue when tackling multitracked guitars or vocals. Also available in the Standard edition, this dual band compressor offers independent control over both the high and the low end frequencies, and if I need some vintage saturation on a subgroup I seldom need to look further.
Scene stealers
A similar ‘it just works’ tool is Scene. This collection of cinematic instruments offers minimal controls – just an XY pad to blend between two sound sources and a smattering of envelope, tone, and effect macros. While each is ostensibly tailored to a specific mood, the whole series broadly lends itself to horror, sci-fi, and dystopia.
K26 Scene
I’ll be honest, I didn’t want to like these. ‘Too streamlined and too simplified’ was my initial takeaway. However, after coming back to them a few times, I have to admit that there is a real attraction to loading up a lightweight plugin that creates a specific kind of musical atmosphere, and does it well.
If your music needs a bit more meat on the bone, look no further than Claire. Developed in collaboration with Galaxy Instruments, and sampled from one of the world’s largest concert grand pianos—a massive 10ft Fazioli F308 —there is serious weight to this instrument. It’s not all sonorous chords and bright arpeggios, however; Claire is a surprisingly versatile library. It can sound soft and intimate, punchy and modern, and even believably evoke the rich acoustics of a classical concert experience. This adaptability is largely thanks to its easy ability to blend between close, mid, and far microphones, and to control the instrument’s overtones, resonances, pedal dampening, and key noise.
Claire might give me the sound of a concert piano, but my keyboard skills certainly don’t approach that of a pianist. Luckily, Kontakt 8’s MIDI Tools have gotten me out of more than a few jams. There’s plenty of Tools to choose from, but my favourites are Scale Lock, which allows me to quickly improvise a melody safe in the knowledge that every note I play will be shifted to fit with a chosen key signature, and Chord Builder which lets me work out complex harmonies and then trigger them all from a single note.
The new Kontakt 8 player is available in Standard, but both Claire and Scenes are reserved for Komplete 26’s Ultimate edition. However, for my money, the most exciting new additions are the instruments which push into sound design territory.
Extending The Sound Palette
The first of these is actually a companion library to Claire, titled Claire Avant. Instead of normal keyboard techniques, this library sees the piano’s strings stroked with brushes, thumbed with ivory or wooden plectrums, and hit with soft, metal, and rubber mallets. It’s the kind of sample library that was almost impossible to find a decade ago, and to hear these techniques sampled on such an impressive instrument is a delight.
Native Instruments Komplete 26:
Another newbie I enjoy is Erosia. The source material, which includes creaking ironing boards, squeaky wheels, and rattling chains, would probably be more at home in a mechanics workshop than a recording studio; the results speak for themselves. Hard to define tones grow into enveloping walls of sound thanks to four audio layers that can be quickly morphed using a macro knob. Dual LFOs, granular synthesis, waveshaping, and harmonic resonators offer extensive sound design potential – especially when working with such idiosyncratic samples.
Last but not least is Odes, which occupies a space between sound design and contemporary scoring. This is the third entrant in a trilogy of instruments developed by Evolution Series, the others being Fables and Lores. Where those two instruments draw heavily on strings, woodwinds, and choir to craft beautifully evolving textures, Odes instead puts rhythm front and centre. Staccato notes and pulsing drones are all tempo-synchronised to your DAW.
Alongside a well-considered sound engine and plenty of articulations to choose from, the primary attraction in Odes is the gorgeous and somewhat lesser-known instruments that have been sampled. We get bowed instruments like the Iranian kamancheh, the Mongolian horse-head fiddle, plus a Japanese shakuhachi bamboo flute and a Swedish nyckelharpa.
While Erosia is available in the Ultimate edition, both Odes and Claire Avant are reserved for the Collector’s tier. So, you’ll need to be serious about your sound design and have seriously deep pockets to access these beasts. However, if you’re not ready to splurge on the higher tiers, then I’d recommend trying iZotope’s Vocalsynth 2 as an off-label sound design tool. Available in the Standard edition, and designed for voice processing, there’s actually a wealth of weird and wonderful effects here to discover. Whether you’re working on monster sounds for a video game, or running some nature recordings through it to get some psychedelic ambience, it’s a surprisingly powerful plugin.
A strong move by Native Instruments
I’ll readily admit my bias toward weird and wonderful sounds, but I genuinely think the move by Native Instruments to include more libraries of rare and non-Western instruments, extended playing techniques, and hybrid textures is spot on. Increasingly, these are the kind of sounds that media composers are looking to work with, and Komplete 26 offers a wide selection.
Of course, for those who didn’t already grab it on first release, Absynth 6 is sure to be the first thing you boot up when Komplete 26 lands in your Native Access library. But once you break free of that intoxicating green fairy, there is plenty more here to keep you busy.

How Sennheiser’s HD 480 PRO headphones have become essential to my daily workflowAd feature with Sennheiser
Sennheiser’s new HD 480 PRO headphones offer closed-back isolation and an enjoyable and accurate tonal voicing, with an extended bass response and smooth highs. To top things off, they’re also supremely comfortable.
Despite having only recently been launched, I managed to get early access, so my experience of using these headphones stretches back a few months.
It was a “wow” moment as I strapped on the headphones for the first time, and I’ve been a firm fan ever since. From recording and mixing in the studio during the working day, to more casual listening in the evening at home, I’ve found myself reaching for the HD 480 PROs more and more — so much so that they’re fast becoming my new daily drivers, booting out a pair of open-back planar magnetic headphones.

In session: A balance of comfort and isolation
Credit: Sennheiser
It’s a bright April morning, and I’m getting ready to track rough takes for a new acoustic guitar and singing-led album. The performers don’t need a click track or headphones, but since my studio is a one-room affair, I put on the HD 480 PRO to monitor the signals coming from microphones in the room. A morning of wearing closed-back headphones usually fills me with fear, but any worries quickly dissolve with the HD 480 PRO. While many closed-back headphones clamp your head with considerable force, there’s a more gentle force at play with the Sennheisers, combined with deep and soft ear cups, and cleverly-designed grooves to make things more comfortable for those wearing eyeglasses; often overlooked, but for which I’m really thankful. My audio interface is able to channel plenty of level to the headphones, and I’m pleased to note that I could attach the cable to the opposite ear cup if it was getting in the way of the work being done.
And so, onto the tonal signature of the HD 480 PRO. I’m embarrassed to hand over some of the closed-back headphones in my studio to performers unless I’ve applied drastic EQ correction beforehand — a tweak that’s not easily possible on most audio interfaces — but this is simply not required with these Sennheisers. The harsh, jagged high-mid presence peaks built into competing headphones (presumably to bring out vocal clarity and make things sound ‘exciting’) are contrasted here with a smooth, even yet articulate high-mid range that you can comfortably listen to for hours. The more neutral approach to this particular frequency range helps you home in on how well each microphone is working on the instruments and voices being recorded, and the contribution of a microphone’s own presence peak in its voicing.
Isolation from the outside world is solid too. In my recording situation, I’m able to hear the signals being recorded through the headphones in great detail without much spill from the voices and instruments projecting live into the same room. They are only rough takes, but I can be confident that I can rely on what I’m hearing to be an accurate representation of what’s being recorded. To complete the picture, I notice a really solid bass response that gives a full picture of the proximity effect in this setting, but would be even more handy when tracking a bass guitar or kick drum.
I work for hours, in contentment.
Mixing it up: Firm foundations
Credit: Sennheiser
It’s late in the afternoon, and I now turn my attention to mixing for another album project. Much of my mixing is carried out on planar headphones tuned to a Harman curve that helps mixes translate to loudspeakers and other playback systems. The HD 480 PRO has a similar contour out of the box, so I can use these headphones without EQ to focus acutely on the multitude of editing and mixing decisions I need to make. Bass sounds have a full extension without having to press the ear cups to my ears — great for placing punch stompbox and bass guitar tracks in my mix. And the full mid-range is used to great effect when shaping EQ and dynamics for the competing acoustic chord and melody instruments and vocals in this ever-crucial frequency range. There’s no feeling of the recessed,’ V-shaped’ mid range many headphones have, so I can make informed decisions as I work through the mix. And because the headphones are closed, I can do this without disturbing others around me.
Though the treble presentation is smooth and non-fatiguing, there’s a satisfying, fizzy quality to the air band at the very top of the range — perhaps a psychoacoustic phenomenon associated with the HD 480 PRO’s ultra-wide frequency response reaching up to supersonic 28 kHz (from a super-low 3 Hz). This makes homing in on bad edit points, taming keen transients and auditioning different saturation circuits a breeze. There’s a sensation of excitement at the top end, but when coupled with the smooth high-mids, it’s a tonal voicing that’s always comfortable to listen to.
Songs for the soul: Pleasurable listening, at any volume
Credit: Sennheiser
It’s a laughably short commute from my garden studio to the house, but I’m really glad of the compact carry case that’s included with the HD 480 PRO PLUS model. As well as providing protection in transit, it’s also handily shaped to stack on top of my laptop without sliding away.
After I’ve given my ears a few hours’ rest and the kids have gone to bed, I grasp the opportunity to listen for fun — at a louder level — on the HD 480 PRO.
I enjoy subby yet tight basslines and kick drum on my evergreen reference, Naughtyboy’s La La La, while I’m also enamoured by the smoothness of the top end, which typically has the tendency to poke out on snare sounds in this track. Louis Tomlinson’s The Imposter is my guilty pop pleasure of late: here, too, there’s punchy kicks, assured separation of mid-range chord parts, plus a high end that never becomes harsh despite the bright pop production aesthetics. There’s a deeper stereo field than most closed backs, too, allowing me to get fully immersed in the music — lost in the moment.
To wind things down, I shift to the more sonorous sounds of The Flood from Irish acoustic duo Ye Vagabonds, and I’m delighted that the deep bass extension doesn’t disappear when I scale back to a lower listening level. Another winning feature of HD 480 PRO.
With the day done, I now have a new favourite all-rounder set of headphones.

Ableton Live 12.4 has arrived – here’s everything you need to knowAbleton Live 12.4 has landed, bringing a number of new creative and workflow improvements, as well as new features for Ableton’s Push, Move and Note.
Importantly, Ableton Live 12.4 arrives as a complete free update for existing Live 12 users, so let’s take a closer look at everything that’s new.

Link Audio
Credit: Ableton
Heading up the new features in Ableton Live 12.4 is Link Audio, providing the ability to stream audio between compatible devices on a local network in real time. In other words, within Live and Push, audio from other musicians can appear directly as an input, meaning you can monitor and record external devices without the need for additional hardware, cables or manual latency compensation.
Stem separation improvements
Credit: Ableton
Ableton Live 12.4 also brings a number of improvements to stem separation, which is now described as “more flexible and intuitive” than ever.
Now, in Live’s Arrangement View, producers can separate a specific time selection of an audio clip, rather than having to process an entire clip each time. This is a convenient upgrade, and will no doubt lead to shorter processing time and therefore faster workflows when working with stem separation.
Additionally, there’s now the ability to selectively combine specific stems in a way that best suits your workflow. For example, if you wish, you can combine everything except the vocals in a single stem, and then have the vocals in a separate stem. Finally, there’s now a unified progress bar showing the progress of the entire operation, rather than per stem.
Upgrades to Ableton stock effects
Credit: Ableton
Ableton’s built-in Erosion effect now lets you blend continuously between sine and noise modulation and mono and stereo noise, and offers real-time spectrum visualisation, too.
Meanwhile, Chorus-Ensemble now offers great control over delay time and structure, while Delay gets new LFT time modes and waveforms that offer a “wider range of modulation possibilities”.
Learn View
Your ability to learn how to use Ableton Live in-depth while within the DAW has also been improved, with Learn View – the successor to Help View – offering short video lessons and written explanations on basic workflows and the core concepts of Live.
Updates to Ableton Push
Along with Link Audio, Push now comes with MIDI Mapping, making it easier than ever to control your external gear. You can now create and modify MIDI controller mappings with Push Standalone, customise which control scripts your connected MIDI device uses, and deactivate control scripts entirely to make space for your own custom mappings.
Updates to Move and Note
Producers can now add audio tracks to Move and Note, add audio clips from the library, record directly via microphone – or line-in or USB-C on Move – and warp the resulting sound with an algorithm which maintains the original pitch while altering the tempo, or vice versa.
Additionally, Auto Shift and Erosion – two effects from Live – are now available on Move and Note.
Pricing & availability
Ableton Live 12.4 is free for all existing Live 12 users. Otherwise, Live 12.4 comes in three tiers:

Live 12 Intro – $99 / €79 / £69
Live 12 Standard – $439 / €279 / £259
Live 12 Suite – $749 / €599 / £599

Pricing for Push Move, and Note is as follows:

Push – $999 / €949 / £879
Push Standalone – $1,799 / €1,899 / £1,299
Move – $499 / €499 / £419
Note – $6.99 / €7.99 / £6.99
