How it works
The Blipblox comes loaded with over 300 engaging melodies, so it starts playing music the moment you turn it on. The colorful controls are irresistible to kids, who can quickly learn how they are modifying the sound with each knob, button or lever. There is no wrong way to play and there are always new sounds to explore. The synchronized LED light show provides visual feedback to the music being played, and adds sensory excitement to making music.
Safe for Kids
Blipblox synthesizers are uniquely designed to be completely safe for kids. The knobs can’t be pulled off, there aren’t sharp corners or edges, and the plastic case is designed to take hard hits, drops and spills. The Blipblox is one of the only synthesizers fully certified to international toy safety standards for ages 3 and up.
Studio Ready
The Blipblox has all of the features of a real synthesizer. To start with, there is a 5-pin MIDI input so you can connect and play it with an external keyboard, computer or drum machine. The 1/4" Audio Output jack connects to an external speaker to go loud, or to record the Blipblox into a music production system. The Blipblox features 12 unique oscillator modulation schemes that provide synthesis methods such as Pulse Width Modulation, Oscillator Sync, Detune, Frequency Modulation, and many other modulations that are unique to the Blipblox. The oscillators and the low pass filter can be modulated by two LFOs, and the Envelope Generator via a 3x3 modulation matrix. Drop the beats with the built-in drum machine. The Blipblox includes many features to help advance users navigate the sounds, such as an Performance Mode LED display.
May seem like a simple purchase, but honestly is life changing. Able to get gear to set so much quicker, able to hold so much gear and make me more efficient. 10/10 recommend.
Subsequent to my previous review (9th Dec 2023), I was provided with replacement units having an updated design that solved the issue of not being able to full width rack equipment in the top or bottom rack positions. As stated in my initial review, these look really good and very easy to assemble. It should be noted that there is a 1cm gap between top/bottom panels and any equipment mounted in the racks which, whilst allowing air flow into the rack for cooling, some people may not desire.
I purchased a pair of isoacoustics stand from koala 🐨 audio and found their pricing very good indeed and postage was quicker than a koala 🐨 going up a tree so I would highly recommend koala 🐨 audio with 5 stars 🌟 after all how much can a koala 🐨 bear just kidding hope you like my feedback Regards Iain Morrison
