Starting this semester, you can take home a littleBits synth kit and explore circuitry and sound through a scaled-down version of a vintage analog synthesizer. We’ve designed this kit so that you can record your homemade beeps, skronks, and ambient noise to soundtrack your next presentation or intrigue that electronic music fan in your life. littleBits are also a great way to teach yourself the basics of circuits and livecoding.
