The media could not be loaded. Super cool product. Works like it should and has nearly no learning curve. Only downside: it’s awkward to show off. Like “here, let me show you something. I just need 5 minutes and 8 bananas real quick.” Overall it’s great though and the batteries seem to last a long time since the speaker is so small. 5/5 for sure, though I wish it were a bit cheaper.

I've had a blast playing with the synth-a-sette!! It's a neat little gizmo that is pretty easy to set up and has a nice sound. The part I love the most is how creative is allows you to be in constructing your "keyboard." I used succulent leaves at first and went from there. It's great that there are controls for volume, tuning, and vibrato - as well as a headphone jack - which you might not expect for something that fits into a cassette case. As a musician, I would recommend this to anyone who likes tinkering with new instruments and discovering new sounds. I also highly recommend this for educational settings because it is relatively easy to put together, a good introduction to electronics, and highly creative.

I'm a semi-professional musician, but usually playing guitar. Over the past few months I've been collecting a number of small, pocket-size synths and other instruments (tin whistle, ocarina, harmonica) just for fun -- and maybe some day doing a quirky band with odd instrumentation. ;-) The Synth-A-Sette seemed perfect for that, and in THAT capacity it does not disappoint. Works fine right out of the box. Read one instruction card, and you're on your way. The only tech hitch is you need to make sure you're completing a circuit somehow. Usually, just holding the device in your own two hands is enough. But if you use the alligator clips to connect to things, just make sure you follow instructions and make sure you're connected to ground in order to get a sound. (just to be clear, there's no physical danger in not being connected to ground -- you just might not get a sound). The only other hitch is the price seems a little high for a synth with no features other than tuning, vibrato, volume, and a power switch (although USB and battery power is nice to have). But really, the point of this synth is making simple music while also making interesting visuals. With the SEVERAL alligator clips included, you can connect it to anything conductive to control the notes. And I think that would look really cool in a video or live on stage. Customer support is also very good. I had some concerns when I first got this in the mail, but I got a very quick and very nice response from a human being that made sense to me. No speaking to a bot or anything like that. BOTTOM LINE: Pricey, yeah. But it makes a nice sound,. You can make actual music with it, and you can look super cool while doing it. Be creative. ;-)

I have been following this project for some time and was so excited to get my hands on it. The packaging in a cassette case is both clever and practical for storage. The build quality is solid and it is really easy and fun to play. Can't wait to run this through some effects and see what sounds I can make.

I love the playfulness of it coming in a cassette tape box. My 7 year old was instantly into it. We connected it to all the fruit in the house. I realized I had a metal necklace that I connected the ground wire to, so we didn't have to hold it. Then my husband started picking it up and played with it a bit after originally scoffing (He really did like it after all) . It's fun for everyone!

I purchased this as a gift and it went over fantastically. It was a new and different tool for them to add into their arsenal of musical instruments. It was perfect for someone who needed to fly home with their gifts.

I had so much fun playing with the Synth-a-Sette! It is definitely one of the most fun and creative toys that I have been able to play with. Would highly recommend for the little ones or even for adults that want to jam out with some funky toons.
