We’ve seen plenty of synths with built-in speakers, but how about a speaker that has a built-in synth? That’s the seemingly unlikely premise of Popumusic PartyStudio, which is billed as “the world’s first wireless MIDI synthesizer speaker.”
It sounds like a crazy idea, but if you think about it, it does make a certain amount of sense. Assuming you’ve got a Bluetooth MIDI keyboard that can run on battery power (which, we’ll admit, is a bit of an assumption) all you need to do is pair this to the PartyStudio and you can start playing. “No complicated setups. No software. No cables. Just play,” is the tagline.
