For almost three decades in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt has gone head to head in high-speed motorcycle battles, climbed Dubai's Burj Khalifa, and hung from the side of a plane during takeoff. Oh, and he also died at one point (following an extended free dive into an underwater data bank).

After defying the laws of physics, it only makes sense that he has to defeat a god.

Standalone sequencers are something of a luxury in the modern music-making landscape. These days, even the cheapest synths and samplers have at least rudimentary sequencing capabilities. And while many MIDI controllers have on-board sequencers, they’re usually meant to back up live performance rather than replace it.
It's Friday, which means today we put together the best deals in tech we saw this week. It's also St. Patrick's day and we could make a dumb joke about "saving some green" — but we won't.
