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.
I would suggest the Korg Volca line over something like these if you want some hands on hardware for an introduction, they will be a lot more versatile. That said, it doesn’t matter what you use to make music as long as you’re expressing yourself and having fun, toy or not. The stylophone was used on lots of commercial recordings most notably by David Bowie.
