New in the Maker Shed – Gakken Analog Synthesizer Kit

I’m happy to announce that the Gakken SX-150 Analog Synthesizer kit is now available in our Maker Shed. This sweet little synth is about the size of a large sandwich but sounds a whole lot more awesome. It sports controls for resonance, attack/decay, cuttoff filter, pitch envelope, has an external control input along with built-in speaker and line out. You can read my impressions/review of the kit here.

These kits will likely be snapped up in a hurry, so get ’em while they’re hot (and in stock!) –

This cool little synth kit is easy to put together, requires no soldering and is easy to hack (see links below). There are no English instructions included (book and kit are in Japanese but beautifully done) but the detailed illustrations are more than enough to easily put this kit together. Check out our blog links below to see our review and hacks. Imported from Japan in partnership with Gakken. 4 AA batteries (not included)

The SX-150 is a lot of fun to mod and experiment with. I switched out the pitch control strip on mine and added some buttons, which you can see in action below –

We’ll be posting info on more SX-150 mods/hacks/tips as soon as possible, so stay tuned!
