Tremendous tech to improve every aspect of your existence

BIGME INKNOTE COLOR+

Scribble-on e-ink devices are in vogue at the moment – think the ReMarkable 2, the Kindle Scribe, et al – but look around the edges and you find interesting challenger brands like Bigme. The company’s InkNote Color+ adds, yes, some colour to proceedings, giving you not only the chance to doodle over your docs in red pen, but the ability to view comics without having to resort to monochrome.

RODE WIRELESS GO II 

If you’re vlogging, we’d wager you probably already have the camera down pat, but getting a mic up close and personal with your subject is vital. The RODE Go II is the optimal option: two transmitters means you can mic up multiple participants, its wireless nature means no trailing cables to trip on, and you can plug straight into a camera, computer or phone to avoid painful editing later on.

ERAE TOUCH 

One of the most innovative, customisable and downright beautiful musical input surfaces there’s ever been, the Erae Touch is a special toy for anyone dabbling with MIDI. It’s a great choice whether you intend to drum on its LEDbacked silicone surface, play it like a piano, configure it to control your faders or other instruments, or just create a brand new way of interfacing with sound.
