The Blipblox After Dark is a synthesizer that allows children to discover the joy of making music. It's a fully-featured synthesizer that's safe for children aged 3 and up, with safety certifications in the US and Europe.

The Blipblox's child-friendly design features colorful knobs and buttons, and an interactive LED light show, packed with features that children will love.

While being a fun toy for children, the Blipblox After Dark is also a professional electronic instrument equipped with a full-fledged synthesis engine, making it suitable for music production and performance.

""SYNTHESIS FOR ALL"" The joy of synthesizers for everyone! Now, turn on the Blipblox After Dark and have fun creating electronic music in new ways!

The Blipblox After Dark's color scheme is completely different from the cute and colorful white body of the original Blipblox. Its appearance pays homage to ""Synthwave,"" a music genre influenced by 1980s culture and fashion that has become globally popular, particularly online, in recent years. The skeleton-color, retro-futuristic look will feel fresh to children and nostalgic to adults.

While the number of buttons, knobs, and levers remains the same, the sound is significantly different, just like the design.

The oscillator that generates the sound can be selected from 16 unique types, and the filter, which dynamically processes the sound, features a multi-mode filter with added resonance control.

A stereo multi-tap delay effect has been added to add breadth to the sound, and the 1/4-inch audio output jack is now stereo.

The drum sounds include 100 samples with adjustable pitch.

The built-in melodies, numbering over 300, created by professional producers, offer a wide variety of more musical and melodic variations.

Not only can children have fun playing, but adults can also enjoy more sophisticated sound editing, making it easier to integrate into production studios.
