The Blipblox is a real musical instrument that has been simplified so there are no rules to follow or steps to learn. With the push of a button the Blipblox starts playing one of its hundreds of built-in melodies. Twist and turn the colorful controls to create fresh music from an unlimited palette of synthesized sounds. See the sound as the LED light show dances in beat with the music. The Blipblox makes it easy for your family to jam, perform, and connect through music. Younger kids find the brightly colored controls and synchronized light show irresistible. Teens and adults are captivated by the unlimited ability to create new sounds. MIDI and Audio ports let you connect to your stereo system and other musical instruments so parents and friends can join in. The durable design can take hard hits, drops and spills, and it’s certified safe to international standards for kids as young as 3. The Blipblox isn’t just for kids. It’s a sophisticated device with advanced synthesis features. The same elements that make it fun for music exploration, also make it a fun studio tool. An innovative signal flow makes it easy to dial in complex soundscapes. Choose your oscillator mode then modulate it using the two LFOs and the Envelope Generator. Sculpt your waveform with the filter, then add some beats with its drum machine. A built-in speaker and battery power means it’s completely portable. Integrate into your studio or use live with 5-pin MIDI input, ¼” audio output, and the included USB power cable.

Nice! submitted by sachico on July 20, 2021, 12:34am My son will be happy.

Intriguing submitted by kathscot on August 15, 2021, 9:35pm A bit confusing to me, but still fun to mess with.

Kids Love It submitted by jibkidder on June 16, 2022, 8:06am It can take a moment for a kid to adjust to the logic of a non-keyboard synth, but once they do they'll have oodles of fun.

Fun submitted by KimB on June 16, 2022, 10:32pm Everyone enjoys messing with this, from the preschooler to the teen, and even the adults. So many buttons and levers!

A Delight- Not Just for Kids! submitted by Meginator on July 25, 2022, 11:25am This fun little synthesizer basically runs on autopilot, with the various buttons and knobs allowing for some quirky variations that can range from perplexing to laugh-out-loud hilarious. I couldn’t make sense of some of the knobs even after looking over the instructions, but the point is less to make beautiful music than it is to play around until you hit a good groove for a while. As a non-expert, I can’t say if this is a good introductory synthesizer, but it was definitely worth trying out for a few (non-consecutive) hours of fun.

Endlessly fun submitted by trina05 on June 29, 2023, 11:53am Hours of (of hopefully non consecutive) entertainment! The kiddos had so much fun making new and ever changing sounds and music. Sturdy and easy to use. It's amazing that we get to try items like this from the library!
