This looks pretty awesome! only one question: Can you connect it to a keyboard and use the keys off the keyboard instead of just the ribbon keyboard on the synth? because i cant imagine u can play much on such a small ribbon..... hit back! x

@klikom8 It doesn't have a MIDI or USB input, so you can't control it from other MIDI devices. And you're right about the ribbon controller - you can't do much of any musical value with it.

@horganator Sure you can do much of musical value with the ribbon keyboard! It's just quite difficult to prevent it from sounding out of tune, but for wild solo lead sounds or deep bass it isn't always necessary to do this perfectly. And with enough practice, it should even be possible to get it perfectly in tune - certainly not more difficult than it is on a violin.

[horganator]

@leftaroundabout OK, you got me there! :-)

[Nekkoru]

@klikom8 Actually, you can plug in a keyboard into the audio in jack.

[horganator]

@Nekkoru Yes, but you can't control it from an external keyboard, which was the original question.

[rabidsnake123]

what exactly is it? Does it come with its own presets or...?

[CrazedSpartania]

It's a portable handheld synth. WTF DO YOU PEOPLE WANT AND OR EXPECT!? god, quit complain create something yourself if you dont like this.

Dont buy this crap! I bought it and played around with all its sounds and in about 2 hours i was done with it. I returned it the next day once i realized its totally not worth it. Save your money for a real synth.
