Synth:bit 16 Note Micro:bit Synthesizer Keyboard OLED display, Battery and Audio Jack, Jumper Pins for Expansion, Lego-Compatible (Micro:bit included with pre-loaded Synthesizer program.)

The Synth:bit transforms your Micro:bit into an 8-pin, 16-button synthesizer module that’s perfect for STEM, music, or electronics education. With a built-in audio jack, battery pack, and OLED display, it’s a fully portable keyboard engine you can program, hack, and expand. Features & Benefits Rich button input: 16 discrete inputs mapped in a 4×4 matrix (8 pins used), enabling full 16-button control for scales, chords, or experimental layouts. Audio & power built in: plug in a speaker or amplifier directly via the onboard audio jack; internal battery pack provides off-grid power. OLED interface: view oscillator mode, envelope, tempo, and more on a crisp screen without needing a host PC. Lego & maker ready: pin layout and base align with LEGO bricks; jumper headers and breadboard compatibility allow adding switches, rotary encoders, or external control surfaces. Open & hackable: fully open to code – use Microsoft MakeCode, Python, or other Micro:bit ecosystems to customize sound, input mapping, and behavior. Use Cases Educational environments: ideal for coding, music class, STEM club, or maker workshops. DIY musical projects: integrate into MIDI rigs, modular synthesizers, or standalone sound art installations. Portable performances or demos: battery power and compact form make it excellent for on-the-go sound demonstrations.
