Adafruit MintySynth Kit - 2.0

The MintySynth Kit 2.0 offers a seamless blend of music creation and electronic experimentation, housed in a compact size that fits into an Altoids tin.

Open source and Arduino-compatible, this hackable synth kit encourages creativity through customization. Unassembled for a hands-on experience, some soldering is involved, but the process is straightforward. The preloaded software includes a 4-voice, 16-step wavetable sequencer, enabling exploration with various instruments and control over tempo, swing, keys, and scale.

Users can compose and save up to four 16-note songs, perfect for looping or individual playback. For those interested in custom programming, an FTDI cable is required, as there is no onboard USB. A robust community offers numerous examples and support online.

While the kit does not include an Altoids tin, appropriately sized tins are available for purchase separately. This device is a comprehensive electronics and music platform in a portable package.
