Hasta La Gadget!

Hopes are dimming after a lone coal-state Democrat sounded the death knell for Biden’s clean electricity program.

A plot to capture the runaway animals will require two more zebras.

The inspiration for a song can surface whether or not your full studio is available, and Roland has a solution for those spur-of-the-moment sessions. The music pioneer has introduced a free Zentracker app for Android and iOS that serves as a multitrack recorder for impromptu performances. You can add unlimited tracks (it defaults to four in the name of simplicity), draw on 200 audio loops and wield 16 audio effects while using familiar features like beat matching and looping.

You can save tracks to OneDrive, and Google Drive is “coming soon.” The app is free as long as you have a Roland account, although Roland nudges you toward a Cloud subscription by limiting some effects, loop bundles, stem exports and other features to paying customers. You’ll likely want a mixer like the Go: Mixer Pro-X to make the most of Zentracker, too.

There’s an app for more formal productions. Roland is releasing a TR-Editor desktop app (below) that serves as a companion for machines like the TR-6S and TR-8S. You can browse sounds, program beats and tweak parameters from the comfort of your computer screen. While we’re waiting on launch details as we write this, the software could be handy if you find the TR-series’ on-device interface too cumbersome.

Harman Kardon announced that one of its immersive surround sound products is now integrated into Lovesac’s SealthTech furniture in the “Sactionals” sofa collection. StealthTech hides audio and wireless charging technologies inside the seating furniture, making it completely invisible.

If you’re not familiar with Lovesac, it’s a publicly-traded company under the ticker LOVE. It’s been listed on the Nasdaq since 2018 and has done well for itself during the pandemic, probably when people realize they’d be using their couches a lot more.

In my opinion, their Lovesac modular sofa called “Sactionals” is the most exciting idea as it lets people design the sectional they want from multiple Seats and Sides modules (try their configurator), just like LEGOs. Additionally, Lovesac sectionals are designed to have their covers changed and washed, two common pain points for any sofa owner.

Some Sactionals feature built-in storage space, but the StalthTech collection better uses that space by integrating a powerful Harman Kardon surround sound system. Depending on how they configure their sound system, users can buy different modules with center-channel, left/right, and up-firing speakers.

A seating module with a sub-woofer is also available, and one of the configurations examples features four sub-woofers and eight speakers. Impressive!

Everything can be configured and tuned with an app, and Lovesac says that you will not only “hear” the sound but also “feel” it, which I can believe if you’re sitting right above one of the sub-woofers!

I haven’t experienced it, but it seems like it would work quite well based on the specifications and general description. If I happen to wander by a Lovesac showroom, I’ll give it a try. Apparently, select Best Buy stores might have them too.

The base Sactional StealthTech should retail for less than $3000 and have an MSRP of $3700.
