Our take on the Banan-A-Synth

The Banan-A-Synth is a small build-it-yourself synthesizer kit that turns everyday objects into touch keys. You assemble the board and then play it by touching fruit, plants or anything conductive, which makes it part toy, part electronics lesson. It suits kids, parents and teachers who want a hands-on intro to circuits and sound. Compared with ready-made mini synths, it trades polished controls for the science-experiment angle and a soldering-free build.

Pros
  • Turns fruit and other conductive objects into playable keys
  • Teaches circuits and conductivity through play
  • Compact and simple to assemble
  • Doubles as a real playable mini synth
Cons
  • Limited sound controls compared with a full synth
  • Needs conductive objects on hand to play
  • Output is basic, not a serious music tool
  • Assembly and troubleshooting may need adult help

About the Banan-A-Synth

The Banan-A-Synth is a mini synthesizer shaped like a banana. It works as a pocket synth for musicians and as a STEAM device for exploring conductivity. It has no screen and does not connect to a computer.

It has a custom sound engine with 12 instrument sounds and 8 built-in sound effects. It is 4-note polyphonic, so it can play chords. An analog conductivity sensor to the left of the keyboard controls effects: the harder you press it, the stronger the selected effect. A built-in metronome lets you set the beats per minute and rhythm structure.

There are no knobs. To change tuning, volume or sound mode, touch a setting touchpad and one of the keyboard keys at the same time. The included alligator clips connect conductive objects, such as real bananas, to the touchpads so you can play them as keys. Clip an object to a touchpad and create a path to ground to complete the circuit.

Questions and answers

Do I need to solder anything?
The kit is designed as a beginner build with no soldering required. You assemble the board and connect it, then start touching conductive objects to play.
What can I use as keys?
Anything conductive works: bananas, other fruit, plants, or a metal spoon. Wet or very dry objects change how responsive the touch is.
Is it a real synthesizer or just a toy?
It makes real synthesized tones and can play melodies, but its controls are simple. Treat it as a learning tool and a fun instrument rather than a studio synth.
Who is it aimed at?
Kids around late elementary age and up, plus parents and teachers. Younger children will need help with assembly and setup.
Does it need batteries or a power supply?
It runs on a small battery, so no wall outlet is needed. Check the kit contents for the battery type before you start.
Where is the Banan-A-Synth cheapest?
At Maker Shed, for $75.00, as of our latest check.
