Now, this one is truly a treat. Introducing the Soundbrenner Core 2, a 5-in-1 music companion to simplify practice sessions and fuel his musical journey. 

From a built-in practice tracker to a vibrating metronome, dB meter, chromatic tuner, and smartwatch, this nifty device is a one-stop-shop for all his musical needs.

2. Playtron

The Playtron MIDI Controller offers a unique way to create your own custom MIDI controller. It has the ability to connect up to 16 objects with alligator clips. This allows you to use it with several mobile apps, online synthesizers, or your favourite DAW.

From fruits to plants, and even toys, the possibilities are endless. Connect the clips from objects capable of conducting electricity to Playtron, and assign a different MIDI note (C1 to D#2 by default) to each object. Then, you can start playing and creating your own unique sounds!

Why we love it

• A unique way to make music, and you could add a very interesting/interactive aspect to your performance
• Very affordable price for the several versatile features
• Combine with other MIDI controllers or instruments to create complex arrangements and performances. 
• Very portable (can be connected to your computer, tablet, or smartphone via Bluetooth for a wireless setup)

Cons

• Not best for very precise control

3. TouchMe

TouchMe allows you to connect to objects in the same way as Playtron. However, this is a sensory device as it is set to react differently to the touch. Meaning, when the area of touch and intensity changes, the sound changes too, causing the pitch to go higher or lower!

Why we love it

• Overall great sequencer
• Perfect amount of keys
• Combine with other MIDI controllers or instruments to create complex arrangements and performances. 
• Explore the theremin-like sound generation potential of the TouchMe device to create dynamic and expressive music. 
• Interact with other people in a musical creative environment.

Very portable (can be connected to your computer, tablet, or smartphone via Bluetooth for a wireless setup)

Cons

• Not best for very precise control
