The After Dark comes loaded with over 300 melodies custom-made by professional musicians, so you can start creating the moment you turn it on.  Sixteen different oscillator types including wavetables provide a massive range of synthesis opportunities.  The new resonant multi-mode filter and a stereo multi-tap delay produce rich, professional sounds right from the output.  A built-in drum machine loaded with over a 100 pitch-shifting drum samples turns your synthesized sounds into danceable grooves.

Blipblox synthesizers are uniquely designed to be completely safe for kids.  The knobs can’t be pulled off, there aren’t sharp corners or edges, and the plastic case is designed to take hard hits, drops and spills.  Like the original, the After Dark is one of the only synthesizers fully certified to international toy safety standards for ages 3 and up.

STUDIO READY.

The After Dark is ready to be integrated into a studio just like any other professional synthesizer.  Sequence your own melodies using your favorite hardware or software sequencer sending the notes into the After Dark using the MIDI In port.  Record or go loud using the stereo ¼” Audio Out port.  Instantly synchronize to drum machines or other devices with MIDI time code.
