    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.

    Lots of fun!
    I've had a blast playing with the synth-a-sette!!It's a neat little gizmo that is pretty easy to set up and has a nice sound. The part I love the most is how creative is allows you to be in constructing your "keyboard." I used succulent leaves at first and went from there. It's great that there are controls for volume, tuning, and vibrato - as well as a headphone jack - which you might not expect for something that fits into a cassette case. As a musician, I would recommend this to anyone who likes tinkering with new instruments and discovering new sounds.I also highly recommend this for educational settings because it is relatively easy to put together, a good introduction to electronics, and highly creative.

     Super cool product. Works like it should and has nearly no learning curve.

    Only downside: it’s awkward to show off. Like “here, let me show you something. I just need 5 minutes and 8 bananas real quick.”

    Overall it’s great though and the batteries seem to last a long time since the speaker is so small. 5/5 for sure, though I wish it were a bit cheaper.

    4.0 out of 5 stars VERY simple synth with fun possibilities
    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I'm a semi-professional musician, but usually playing guitar. Over the past few months I've been collecting a number of small, pocket-size synths and other instruments (tin whistle, ocarina, harmonica) just for fun -- and maybe some day doing a quirky band with odd instrumentation. ;-) The Synth-A-Sette seemed perfect for that, and in THAT capacity it does not disappoint. Works fine right out of the box. Read one instruction card, and you're on your way.

    The only tech hitch is you need to make sure you're completing a circuit somehow. Usually, just holding the device in your own two hands is enough. But if you use the alligator clips to connect to things, just make sure you follow instructions and make sure you're connected to ground in order to get a sound. (just to be clear, there's no physical danger in not being connected to ground -- you just might not get a sound).

    The only other hitch is the price seems a little high for a synth with no features other than tuning, vibrato, volume, and a power switch (although USB and battery power is nice to have). But really, the point of this synth is making simple music while also making interesting visuals. With the SEVERAL alligator clips included, you can connect it to anything conductive to control the notes. And I think that would look really cool in a video or live on stage.

    Customer support is also very good. I had some concerns when I first got this in the mail, but I got a very quick and very nice response from a human being that made sense to me. No speaking to a bot or anything like that.

    BOTTOM LINE: Pricey, yeah. But it makes a nice sound,. You can make actual music with it, and you can look super cool while doing it. Be creative. ;-)

    I love the playfulness of it coming in a cassette tape box. My 7 year old was instantly into it. We connected it to all the fruit in the house. I realized I had a metal necklace that I connected the ground wire to, so we didn't have to hold it. Then my husband started picking it up and played with it a bit after originally scoffing (He really did like it after all) . It's fun for everyone!

    Es muy bueno especialmente si no tienes nocion musical, lo unico es que, no se me hace caro, pero por 1000 pesos mas te consigues un midi que tenga muchas mas octavas y poder componer algo bien. Siento que el producto no vale mil pesos pero entiendo q es un proyecto emprendedor y no una marca de renombre.
