Imagine a mini synthesizer that doubles as your digital musical companion.
The line between music gear and digital pets just got delightfully blurry. While some might remember how certain plugins can transform your sound forever, this new mini synthesizer takes an unexpectedly playful approach to music creation.
As someone who’s spent countless hours in CCRMA’s synthesis lab, I’ve seen my share of quirky instruments. But nothing quite matches the childlike joy I felt when I first played with a pocket synthesizer during a Paris street performance – the crowd’s faces lit up with each unexpected sound.
