    I would have already grabbed it, but no midi in, just USB midi :(

      The fix is in the next video - for $5 😁

    thanks for the demonstration. i am not allways following the developments on the synth markets. i would have missed that one. i just ordered it. seems to be fitting perfectly in my micro live setup.

      They are wonderful and powerful, especially if into trance of the 1990's. Behringer just released the JT-4000M, same but with MIDI input built in. Am not sure of a price difference, but it may be worthwhile changing your order if you can and if MIDI is important out of the box.

      @@Slider2732_ i actually should be good with the usb midi connecter. otherwise there are also adapter possibilities as you showed 🙂

      Thanks and yes, I agree. For an introduction to hardware synths, or as a decent studio extra sound source it's very cool! 😀

    $50 for a bag of sweets, and what was that other thing in the box?? 😂😂 That was a nice touch with the sweets. The sound took me back to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy TV series 😁😁 and then later to Close Encounters.

      Haha, well, with the price of food nowadays it's cool to get a few treats for nothing 🧁🥧🍧🍬
      Page 334 of the guide states that the Behringer JT-4000 is so easy to use that Vogon's put their poetry to it, between planet destruction appointments 😀

    For $50 I finally gave in. No midi in was what made me hesitate for a long time. But it is so cheap... It has fantastic sounds and a great arpeggiator. If you change octaves while using the arpeggiator, it will hold the note you are playing, not exactly a sequencer but something like it. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. It is too bad it is so tiny with no midi in or sync input. As it is, it is mostly just a toy, as the screen is so tiny and the knobs as well. Still, with my tiny Korg Kaoscillator 2. and a small Blackstar amp, I have a tiny rig, I can get cool sounds from. But the tiny keyboard.... Midi in would make a world of difference. I have not yet been able to figure out how to get a controller to work with it.

      Great stuff Jerry, they really are cool little things 😀
      Have you seen my MIDI solution vid? ua-cam.com/video/zXok4ZZRw1Q/v-deo.html
      If not, it could well be what you're looking for. MIDI In and MIDI Out for around $5

    It does indeed sound good. Although I have these bases covered with the, not quite as dinky, Fred’s Lab synths, if they finally drop over here and the price is right, I’ll grab one - a compelling reason being that I’d just like to know if the USB MIDI host I built for the Pocket Miku will play nicely with it!

      It is that sort of gear. Other things can get there, especially software on a PC, yet it's well made, tweakable and cheap enough to consider. I think they're great for beginners looking for hardware that isn't 2nd hand, also for those of us with GAS on a pocket money budget 😀

    It's a beauty, I have one connected to my dawless setup with a $50 midi usb host box from amazon.

    Looks and sounds like a lot of fun. The sound quality is good and it has a lot of functions.
    When I first saw the box it reminded me of those Stylophones
    Once I saw it properly it looked entirely different. 😂
    I think it looks well made. I checked the price here in the UK and it averages around £44.00.
    It's a pretty good price for the quality of sound and functions. 👌👍👍🎹

      Thanks for your comments Mike 😀
      It does remind of a Stylophone, am thinking of attaching a little wire and black plastic pencil to the side lol
