the Modular 400 pocket player from Teenage Engineering It is an analogue modular synthesizer that you can assemble yourself. If you’re at all interested in DIY kits or synths, this could be a great weekend project.
You can bend the bright yellow chassis to get started, and fit the different modules in place using very small screws. The kit comes with a bunch of equipment: a few oscillators, filters, envelopes, a step sequencer, a mixer and a built-in amplifier. Patch cables let you link them together for all kinds of textures and sounds, while the battery option lets you tweak them on the go.
Route a sawtooth oscillator through an envelope or mess around with a voltage control amplifier… there’s really no wrong way to do it. Half the fun is adjusting the connectors and knobs as you build the kit – and anyone who doesn’t know how they work can easily learn as they go.
The POM-400 is available through the Teenage Engineering store, although it frequently sells out.
