Blipblox myTRACKS Groovebox Now Available to Preorder
Playtime Engineering has launched a Kickstarter project to fund production of the Blipblox myTRACKS, a music production workstation that’s designed to be kid-friendly.
In addition to being a drum machine and basic sampler, the Blipblox myTRACKS is a complete music production studio. The instrument features a built-in microphone for sampling, two FX processors, five tracks, and 25 play pads that trigger over 50 acoustic, electronic, and percussive instrument sounds.
The myTRACKS user can explore the wide variety of built-in instruments and drum kits across 5 tracks, adding effects and modulating them using the two purple levers. Sample any sound with the built-in microphone, then build a song around samples.
The instrument is instantly also upgradable with sound packs and sets online and available for download.
“Creating music with synthesizers and modern music tech has always felt like play to me,” says Troy Sheets, Co-founder of Playtime Engineering. “By merging the portability, durability, and safety of toys with high-quality and advanced functionality of a legitimate instrument, we’ve created a fun and accessible music-making machine that anyone can play.”
Production of the Blipblox myTRACKS groovebox is being funded via a Kickstarter campaign. Backers can get one starting at $249, with delivery expected for November 2024.
