Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano MIDI Mini Electronic Synthesizer (silver)
Mini electronic synthesizer with 6 sound modes and MIDI capabilities
The Pocket Piano MIDI has all the functionality of a Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano synthesizer, now with MIDI capabilities. It can interact with many other MIDI devices: drum machines, sequencers, computers, synthesizers, and other Pocket Piano MIDIs. It is both a sound module and a controller, sending and receiving MIDI note messages, and MIDI clock signals.
In addition to its intuitive interface, maple keys, built-in speaker, and aluminum and wood enclosure, it features the same 6 unique synth modes found on the original Pocket Piano:
Vibrato synth
Harmonic sweeper
2-Octave arpeggiator
Octave cascade
Mono FM synth
FM arpeggiator.
As a controller, the Pocket Piano MIDI sends out key presses as note messages, useful for triggering other synthesizers, samplers, or software. As a sound module the Pocket Piano MIDI responds to all 88 notes of a full size piano, so you are not limited to the 16 key range of the Pocket Piano. Using a full size controller, you can take advantage of the Pocket Pianos unique sounds and arpeggiators over a much larger range. Larger range = more fun.
But the fun doesn't stop there. The Pocket Piano MIDI also sends and receives MIDI clock, so you can synchronize the Pocket Piano's arpeggiators with your favorite drum machine, sequencer, or computer software. The Pocket Piano MIDI passes all received clock messages to its output, allowing you to chain many Pocket Pianos together to create an orchestra of Pocket Pianos.
The Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano MIDI is powered by one 9V battery or a 9V DC power supply.
