Pentasynth is a homebuilt keyboard and synthesizer based on a pentatonic scale, featuring 3D printed and carved parts (including the keys and contacts) and runs on an Atmel 328P Adafruit Metro Mini microcontroller. It features a user-selectable accompaniment including different drum patterns, bass lines and chord progressions and allows the user to play a pentatonic melody line over the top. It’s easy to play for people with limited background in music (such as young kids) and encourages experimentation and improvisation.
