Ive been wanting to dabble with digital music production. All software ive tried has so many menus and buttons and switches I get overwhelmed.

While looking up instruments on amazon I came across these pocket synthesizers called stylophones and similar like theremin that entry for about 40-50$.

These seem like cool little gadgets to toy around with and maybe get a foot in the door to learn how to do digital music production. Does anyone have experience with these things? Are they worth messing with?

I have an old mixer for my condenser microphone that plugs into laptop I think I can plug aux line in from these mini synths to the mixer.

    Basically no.

    Pocket synthesizers are good for music writing, but everything that has to do with the production itself an instrument will not help you with.

    Certainly if you think you will have fun playing it you can sample it and use it in your songs, but that has almost nothing to do with digital music production.
