ThinkGeek BLIPTRONIC 5000, RARE !

Rare 2009 BLIPTRONIC 5000 polyphonic synthesizer in mint condition. Comes with original box, manual and cables. Hard to find, especially in this condition.

Billed as an LED synthesizer, it certainly owes a debt of design gratitude to the Tenori-on, being based on an 8x8 matrix of light up buttons. Music is made in a pattern-based fashion, and the built-in sounds are of a retro nature.

Control dials enable you to pick your instrument type, adjust the tempo (the range is 60-160bpm), set the volume and turn looping on or off. There's a built-in speaker (plus line-out and headphones sockets) and multiple Bliptronics can be linked together.

You can also use the BLIPTRONIC 5000 as a midi controller using a Sonuss G2M V3 (video of this on Youtube) or as a way to get polyphony in eurorack.

• Unusual retro synthesizer is played with a grid of glowing buttons.
