Walked away from my computer for 20 minutes, and came back to see it randomly restarting. I swear I have a gremlin in this thing.

Today we’re checking out the Banan-A-Synth, a banana-shaped synthesizer that lets you turn real bananas and other conductive objects into musical keys! It’s part synth, and part STEM project!

Has anyone ever gone to Vidcon? I just realized it's hosted at my local convention center, lol.

Is mayonnaise an instrument? Frankly it seems redundant to ask, considering its prevalence in just about every music genre and medium out there, but sometimes you have to understand 1 + 1, before diving into quantum mechanics.

The Hohner Claviola is one of the rarest acoustic keyboard instruments ever made, and its method of generating sound has proven a bit difficult to understand. Here's a little overview of it!

Today we’re running a harpejji through a synth plugin to see if this “keyboard guitar” can actually sound like a keyboard! Or a synthesizer. The results are pretty cool!

While I was in San Fransisco, I visited Robotspeak! One of the coolest synth shops around!

This is the claviola, a rare keyboard instrument that creates a really unique sound! It’s kind of like a melodica, but its tone, and look is almost like nothing else out there! I made a full video going deeper into this instrument and its history if you want to learn more!

Hi friends! Just want to let you know, that this is premiering in 30 minutes!

Today I’m experimenting with a set of tiny toy drums to see how BIG they can actually sound! By running them through some effects and processing, these little drums start to sound way snazzier than you’d expect!

Today we're gonna see if the stylophone can play BASS! This instrument barely has any low-end as is, but let's put it through some effects, and see what we can do! Honestly? I think it kind of works, lol.

Mission Dolores Park.

Today we’re putting the harpejji to the test to see if this keyboard guitar can play funk!

Hi friends! #GDC is a week away, so I just want to remind any #gameaudio people, that we've got a little server for those who are at the event, and want to keep up with things! Can't wait to see you at the show! discord.gg/sPEPBZfzjK

Today we're running a stylophone through a guitar amp, and seeing what happens! Honestly? The results are pretty cool, and gives the instrument a whole new vibe, and lots of new options!

Today we’re seeing if the harpejji can answer an age-old question: “Does it DJENT?!”

Image of a stylophone's waveform I recorded. Kind of cool looking.

Today we're taking a look at the stylophone, a tiny synthesizer you play with a pen! Originally released in the late 1960s, this pocket-sized synth creates tones when the stylus touches its metal keyboard, which gives it its electrifying sound!

Thank you very much for 4000!

Today we’re taking a look at two instruments that can sound just like a guitar, but aren’t! The harpejji and the bass taishogoto are both string instruments with keyboard-style layouts, but they come from completely different ideas and musical traditions!

Today we’re taking a look at a chromatic harp from Korea! This is the hanago, a modern lyre-style harp that lets you play fully chromatic notes, unlike traditional harps or lyres! Even cooler, you can plug it into an amp just like a guitar, giving it a super sick modern sound!

Today we’re turning chords into synth-like arps on the harpejji, the 24-string keyboard guitar and bass! I found out that if you route a harpejji that’s got the right effects on it, through a rhythmic gate plugin, you can make arpeggiator-like effects, as if the harpejji was a synthesizer!
