Play a Synthesizer

Switch on, and a digital keyboard pops up in front of you. In the game "Play a Synthesizer", you get to mess around with a modern synth—a sort of mini piano packed with electronic sounds. This instrument may look simple, but it can crank out all kinds of wild tunes. Tweak the keys, shift the pitch, or play around with the different effects until something catchy blares from the speakers. Some kids go for wild wobbles and high-pitched beeps. Others layer notes until it sounds like a pop song. Bright colors and interactive keys make this keyboard feel right at home in your hands.

How to play?

Jump in by tapping out simple notes or whole chords on the keyboard. Flip through settings to experiment with extra features. Maybe you try wave forms or mess with synth levels to shape the sound. Don't worry about getting lost. You can always check the easy sheet music layout right above the keys for a bit of help with the notes. Want to see the synth in action? Start up the auto-play mode and let it run; you'll see how pro songs come together, note by note. Feeling ready for more? Choose two-hand mode, watch the row of tiny green dots lighting up right over the keys, and tap each spot right on cue. Follow along with each dot for perfect timing—keep going and you'll pick up the beat in no time. And when you want to go wild, mix up the controls and put your own spin on every song. Try out as many settings as you like, switch from mellow chords to digital buzz, and build your own sound from scratch. Every run is yours to shape and play.
