  • The Pocket Miku Stylophone Synth has a ton of more to it than one might think. My homie Dan Fingerman (electronic-oct...) started digging in the documents: sandsoftwaresou...
    and it seems like I'm gonna have to learn stuff now. Very straight forward to use as it is though and VERY INSPIRiNG IMO!

    The Pocket Miku is a lot of fun; the non-Miku sounds in there (general midi and some Yamaha extensions) are pretty good too. It's absolutely bonkers as a MIDI controller, though - it only plays one note and does all the other pitches with pitchbend. So it sounds cool, but it looks bizarre when the midi is recorded.

      @@thomasbutts1987 for a vintage one you'd have to check eBay or reverb, but dubreq make a reissue (I believe with modern parts) for $35 US and an upgraded model with a lot more synth-like stuff - filter, envelopes, delay - for $70. Not sure which music stores stock them, but they do sell direct.

    Wow, that is actually beautiful sounding; nicely done as always Simon..
    But, my friend, I'm driving myself nutty trying to find a cool musical toy for my 3.5 yr old and 1.5 yr old to share. The 1.5 yr old likes his toys that play songs and he gets 2 or 3 going at the same time. It sounds terrible. Do you have any quick thoughts/suggestions?
    They both love to sing. I was thinking a cool mic that has built-in effects and speaker? Maybe you know of any DJ style kids toys that are actually dope? I've already ordered an Alesis desktop drum kit, but it'd be cool if the two kids could jam together.
    I keep hoping I'll find a "musical toys for kids of music producers" video around here somewhere (hint hint)...
    Peace!
