Product Description

Make a Banana Keyboard!

While designing this synth, we realized we could connect the synth’s touchpads to different conductive objects, turning them into keyboard keys! Since we had so much fun with this feature, we include alligator clips with each synth so that you can invent your own keyboard. When not learning about how sound works, you can test the conductivity of different objects and see which ones complete a circuit, turning this product into a complete STEM learning experience.

An Analog Synth for All

Other synthesizers are expensive or hard to understand, so we created a simplified synth that anyone can get their hands on! For musicians, the Synth-a-Sette is great for playing melodies on the go, or as an extra input in their studio. And for students, this mini synth is a great introduction to analog sound synthesis and can be used to turn everyday objects into keyboard keys.

Easy to Play, Wherever You Are

Start playing as quickly as you can install AAA batteries (included) or plug it into a USB-C cable (not included). Includes both a built-in speaker and headphone jack. While this synth only has a 13 key keyboard, we also included an octave touchpad, which raises the note played up an octave, giving you easy access to two octaves of notes. And when you’re done playing, you can safely store the Synth-a-Sette in a cassette case.
