Max isnt the only one of our favorite streaming services with a juicy Black Friday deal. From now until December 4, you can get two months of Paramount+ for $3 monthly. Formerly CBS All Access, the platform has original series like Star Trek: Discovery and a growing selection of sports content. The deal applies to the Paramount+ Essential (with ads, usually $8) or Paramount+ with Showtime (ad-free, usually $13) tiers. Although the latter is the better value during Black Friday, remember youll get charged standard pricing after the two months expire. So be sure to cancel in advance if you dont want to pay the full price after the promo ends. Paramount+ has originals like Star Trek: Discovery and Picard, Tulsa King (for the Sly Stalone fans) and Lioness. The platforms sports content includes the NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League, European League and NWSL soccer matches. The deal only applies to new and former subscribers, so youre out of luck if you already pay for the service. Also, note that the sale only applies to monthly pricing, not annual subscriptions. Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/paramount-black-friday-deal-get-a-two-month-subscription-with-showtime-for-6-203106884.html?src=rss

Tame Impalas Kevin Parker just announced a musical instrument called Orchid. Its a nifty-looking chord machine with some modern bells and whistles. For the uninitiated, a chord machine is a device or plugin that allows users to simplify the process of playing chords. To that end, Orchid lets players initiate full melodic chords by pressing a note on the tiny one-octave keybed. They can be manipulated by using a handful of buttons on the left. Holding down one of these buttons while playing a key changes the chord in all kinds of ways, like transforming something from a major to a minor. There are a handful of sounds to choose from, and some emulate playing chords on a stringed instrument across multiple octaves. The internal FX and arpeggiator allow for even more unique compositions. Orchid is battery-powered and boasts dual built-in speakers for portable play sessions. The creators are calling it an ideas machine and, yeah, that tracks. Most chord machines Ive fooled around with have been tied to a computer or instrument via MIDI and this one works standalone. I would be remiss if I also didn't mention the attractive design, which was whipped up by co-creator Ignacio Germade. This thing has retro-futuristic vibes to spare. It looks very pretty and I want to stare at it lovingly. Orchid is the first device launched by Telepathic Instruments, a company founded by Parker, Germade and others. There will be just 1,000 of these little beauties available for purchase this December. The initial rollout is being described as a beta test of sorts, with the company saying that these owners will have the chance to shape and refine the design before a wider release. It costs $550. Thats a lot of money for a chord machine but, again, its standalone and is particularly easy on the eyes.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/audio/tame-impalas-kevin-parker-just-announced-a-retro-futuristic-musical-instrument-called-orchid-193219134.html?src=rss
