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 guess it also depends on what type of musician you are. If you come from traditional instruments and want to record some nice drum patterns or so it's a really nice tool. Otherwise you have to artificially add some random off timing (like ms) to recreate that natural feeling. I could imagine many people can also be more creative playing on an instrument (which a midi keyboard basically is), getting that haptic feedback instead if just clicking things together.
