Roland just released a weird little riff on an acoustic handpan

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-07 03:00:51

Synthesizer giant Roland just announced a fairly bizarre contraption. The Mood Pan is the company's digital take on an acoustic handpan. For the uninitiated, a handpan is a version of the steelpan instrument that's been popular in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1930s. It's widely considered to be the only truly new acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century. However, handpans and steelpans take serious skill to play. Roland's Mood Pan is much easier to play, thanks to clearly visible pads

In January, destructive wildfires devastated Los Angeles, killing at least 30 people and displacing hundreds of thousands more. As the city rebuilds, it may face a particularly brutal summer fire season, experts warn. Thanks to a potentially deadly combination of alarming environmental conditions and sweeping cuts to emergency response agencies, the outlook on California’s 2025 fire season is grim.

How Texas’ hands-off approach to autonomous vehicles gave Tesla an opening

Another Tesla, described by autonomous vehicle experts as a “chase vehicle,” followed closely behind.

A real fixed-point decimal crate in Rust

Primitive fixed-point decimal types. Rust built-in f32 and f64 types have two drawbacks: can not represent decimal numbers in base 10 accurately, because they are in base 2; can not guarantee the fraction precision, because they are floating-point. This crate provides fixed-point decimal types to address the issues by using integer types to represent numbers with a scaling factor (also called as "scale") in base 10 to achieve the accuracy. This is a common idea. Many other decimal crates do
