TL;DR: As of Sept. 30, you can snag the Synthia DIY Digital Music Sampler for $109.99, rather than $119.99 — that’s a savings of $10.


Some people are just hard to find gifts for. Whether it’s because their interest is too niche or too technical, shopping can be a struggle. Friends and family of audiophiles and DIY obsessives know how it is. This year, you may be able to give your favorite tech and music enthusiast something they didn’t expect — or directly ask for. Synthia is a DIY digital music sampler that lets you build and code your own synth, complete with its own LED light show, and it has been marked down to $109.99. 

A great DIY gift for the holidays

This one gadget combines hardware modification, coding, and music production into one customizable focal point.

Use it as a music sampler that can create any beat and make a mix from five tracks. Code your own pocket rave with 121 onboard LEDs, or record your own samples using the built-in MEMS microphone. 

You could also use Synthia as a learning tool. What a cool way to get your young musician thinking of new ways to edit their sound. Or, use it as a teaching tool for a young STEM learner. It could even be an early coding project with tangible results. Mastering a concept in C++ may be satisfying on its own, but how cool would it be to have the reward for all that work on the computer being a programmed LED light show set to your child’s favorite songs?

A way to learn or play for techies young and old

Whether you’re shopping for an experienced audio enthusiast or a young STEM student (or yourself), Synthia: DIY Digital Music Sampler could be an awesome gift, and it’s on sale for $109.99 (Reg. $119). 

Prices subject to change.
