Overview

A student or hobbyist can carry this cassette-sized analog synth and play melodies on a touchpad. A built-in speaker, line out and batteries are included, and the pads can also be wired to everyday objects.

The synth works as an introduction to analog sound and as an extra voice next to larger gear. A single voice and a small pad area limit it for serious composing.

Who it's for

Kids, STEM learners and synth fans wanting an extra sound source will find it fun to explore. Players who need several notes at once or a standard keyboard should choose another instrument.

Pros and cons

  • Pads work with conductive objects
Cons
  • Monophonic, one note at a time
  • Touchpad, not a full keyboard

Performance notes

The touchpads close a circuit to trigger notes, so any conductive object can stand in for a key. An octave up button and an optional vibrato switch shape the sound, and the line out feeds an amplifier.
