Instruments

We all listen to music, but some of us yearn to play it, too. If you're buying for someone like that, these ideas could just fit the bill.

Thinking of starting the next big podcast or YouTube channel? You might want to look into a mic, and the latest from Blue is packing tech aplenty.

An acoustic instrument is joining the modern world with an electric and electronic edge, as Fender's Telecaster gets a dose of USB and then some.

Downloadable content can expand video games, and it can also do great things elsewhere. If you happen to have one of Roli's modular instruments, new DLC could expand musical creativity, too.

The programmable robotic toys of Sphero could well make another appearance this year, but one thing we do know the company is getting into is a new type of musical instrument, and one that loves colour.

Since Blue's microphones started hitting Australia, they've largely been about USB, and that's fine, but the latest from CES brings the power back to XLR.

How do you celebrate the birthday of a portable music studio? You might want to start by flexing that musical muscle of yours.

Buying a present for people who want to do something creative with their life often leaves you in the analogue world, but there are digital options available.

There are big mics, and then there are little mics, and then there are hybrids, as gaming peripheral maker Razer does both at once.

Dabbling in music is about to get very interesting, as Roli combines instruments in a cool modern take.
