WRPED Reverie ambient delay (pre alpha)Single, Dual, Autopan, Reversed Delay Lines, and Pitch Shifted modes. As of this version, i decided to make them all dedicated individual dsp algorithms, so the UI can feel wonky and definitely looks it at this point. This is just an early rendition with most parts working correctly. Read More

Erica Synths taking pre-orders for the Hexdrums Erica Synths are now taking pre-orders for the Hexinverter Mutant-inspired drum machine that was revealed earlier this year, with shipping expected to begin on 11 December 2025.

Spyware maker NSO Group blocked from WhatsAppA federal judge has granted Meta-owned WhatsApp’s request for a permanent injunction blocking Israeli cyberintelligence company NSO Group from targeting the messaging app’s users. At the same time, the judge dramatically reduced the fine that NSO Group must pay to Meta.

Bit-banged 100 MBit/s Ethernet Transmission on Raspberry Pi PicoThe Raspberry Pi Pico is a very capable board, but it’s still a surprise to see bit-banged 100 MBit/s Fast Ethernet implemented on one. [Steve]’s Pico-100BASE-TX library allows an RP2040 (or RP2350) microcontroller to stream data at roughly 11 Mbyte/s, enough to implement 100 MBit/s Fast Ethernet transmission.
We’ve seen 10BASE-T implemented on a Pico, but it takes a lot more than just shoveling bits faster to get 100BASE-T working. 10BASE-T uses two voltage levels and Manchester encoding, but 100BASE-T uses three voltage levels, which [Steve] cleverly implemented on the Pico with two GPIOs, and far more complex encoding. Check out the repository’s README for details as well as a couple example applications.
[Steve] tells us that to the best of his knowledge, this is the first bit-banged 100 MBit/s Ethernet implementation using a microcontroller. It’s transmit-only — reception being an entirely different beast — but it’s possible some enterprising soul might find a solution. If you do, be sure to let us know all about it!

Cycles & Spots Reaktor SlowDownhttps://youtu.be/WMOnAG1a1GU Another great Ambient production Reaktor instrument from Cycles & Spots. This one is a multi granular soundscaper with 201 samples implemented. These samples are actually 67 kits with 3 matching samples each, meaning that this instrument is quite quick to use and you can get easily good results with many sweet spots for all settings. You can though mash up these samples from different kits and you could also use your own samples (Using Reaktors Sample Map) and maybe make dissonant stuff. The main idea though is to slow down 3 matching samples and let these modulate individually to create huge beautiful, calming and peaceful soundscapes that can feel alive / organic. Pack Details: 1 Instrument For NI Reaktor feat: 201 Samples Implemented (67 Kits) 3 Granular Samplers 4 LFOs Reverb Delay Filter 1.5 GB. Full Version Of NI Reaktor 6.5.0 (Or Higher) Needed.

Rhodes Announces Custom Shop ‘Golden Brown’ Piano Inspired by the Classic Rhodes Gold Sparkle Piano BassOn Friday, Rhodes Music announced "the third drop in its Custom Shop series: the MK8 ‘Golden Brown.’ Inspired by the Rhodes Gold Sparkle Piano Bass that was popularized onstage by The Doors, this limited‑edition MK8 pays homage to one of the most charismatic instruments of the 1960s. With a shimmering Gold Sparkletop hood and a Chestnut Brown tolex base, Golden Brown reimagines that vintage legend through the lens of modern craftsmanship."

“Golden Brown is one of my personal favourites from the Rhodes Custom Shop. Inspired by the rare gold-sparkle lid and brown Tolex Piano Bass of the 1960s, the Golden Brown MK8 oozes class and cool without ever feeling overstated. It captures the essence of that sought-after vintage aesthetic while pairing it with the MK8’s innovative features and hand-built precision. Pure class.”

"Golden Brown extends the legacy of the Rhodes Gold Sparkle Piano Bass into a modern MK8, combining vintage inspiration with custom‑shop craftsmanship," they say. "Each instrument’s autumn‑toned finish is accented by hand‑assembled components and Rhodes’ signature analogue signal path. Like all Custom Shop releases, Golden Brown is made to order, individually numbered, and will not be produced again after the drop concludes on October 30th. Hand‑built by master builders in England, this limited‑edition piano embodies a golden era at Rhodes."

Key Features (directly from Rhodes):

Gold Sparkletop Hood — A shimmering hood inspired by the vintage Gold Sparkle Piano Bass.

Chrome Front Panel with Black Inlays — Polished chrome panel featuring black preamp and FX inlays.

Harvest Gold Dial Caps & Logo Plates — Warm dial caps and matching black-on-Harvest Gold logo plates.

Chestnut Brown Tolex Base — The first non-black tolex finish on a MK8, echoing autumn tones.

73‑Note Kluge Keyboard — Precision keybed crafted by Kluge Klaviaturen (Steinway Group).

Custom Stereo‑Analogue FX Processor — Compressor, phaser, chorus and delay with true bypass and expression pedal control.

MK8 Analogue Preamp — Parametric EQ, analogue drive, envelope control, wah and vari‑pan with multiple wave shapes.

F/0.38 Camera Lens Made With Oil Immersion Microscope ObjectiveOver on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective.
The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To calculate the f-number you divide the focal length by the diameter of the aperture. A common f-number is f/1.4 which is generally considered “fast”.
We are told the fastest commercial lens ever used had f/0.7 and was used by Stanley Kubrick to shoot the film Barry Lyndon which was recorded only with candle light.
A microscope objective is a crucial lens that gathers and magnifies light to form an image. It plays a key role in determining the quality and clarity of the final magnified image produced by a microscope.

In this case the microscope objective is optically coupled to the CMOS image sensor using a drop of oil. The oil has better refractive properties than an air-gap. In order to get the closest coupling possible the protective glass sheet on the top of the image sensor was removed. This process resulted in a lot of broken image sensors! Apparently the yield was only two working image sensors from eight attempts at removing the glass.
Of course we’ve seen f-number hacking here at Hackaday before, such as with the A Low F Number Lens, From Scratch which achieved f/0.5.
