Banan-a-Synth Now Available To Pre-Order
MicroKits’s David Levi has launched a Kickstarter project to fund production of the Banan-a-Synth, a banana-shaped synthesizer.
MicroKit is the creator of the Synth-a-Sette. The Banan-a-Synth not only expands on the Synth-a-Sette design, but goes bananas with it.
You can play it directly, using its touch keyboard, or you can use conductivity to make your own instruments – like a banana-controlled Banan-a-Synth.

Features:
- Custom Sound Engine: 12 different instrument sounds, 8 built in sound effects. It’s also 4 note polyphonic, so you can play a chord.
- Play Conductive Objects: Use the included alligator clips to turn all sorts of conductive objects into keys you can play.
- Learn Music and Physics: An intro to both the physics of conductivity and the art of applying filters and effects to synthesizer sounds.
- Control Effects with Touch: An analog conductivity sensor to control effects. The harder you press the sensor, the stronger the sound effect.
- Take It Anywhere: Super portable, with built in speaker, headphone jack, and powered by 2xAA Batteries. Also can be powered via USB-C.
- No Screen, No Computer: Does not connect to a computer or anything with a screen. Focus on exploring music without distraction.
- No Knobs, No Problem: Change tuning, volume, and sound mode by simultaneously touching a setting touchpad and one of the keyboard keys.
- Metronome: Select your beats per minute and rhythm structure.
Production of the Banan-a-Synth Banana Synthesizer is being funded via a Kickstarter project, and it is available to project backers starting at $56 USD. The project has already met its funding goal.
