Oof, nice one !

I was looking for some synths for my less-than-two-years kid, after seeing their face light up when I fiddle with my Lofi 12 XT in front of them.

I had all these criterias : -Something without any screens -Something simple enough -Something that could withstand some rough play

I looked and looked, was considering proper Aira Compact synths, but ended up with the antiquity of the Bliptronic 5000 from Thinkgeek. https://youtu.be/6rCfhF-fNb4 They love it, the buttons are beyond fun to them, but the knobs are quite hard to turn for a little kid (1st world problem, I know)

I felt they were too young for a Blipbox, and I also bought an Orba 2, we'll see how that one goes.

But I dreamed of such a device, with easy to turn knobs, and colorful display, something simple to modulate sounds and just hear melodies. Seeing how you created it is both inspiring and discouraging, as someone with limited free time and electrical knowledge, but, you never know !
