Bliptronic 5000 LED Synthesizer from ThinkGeek

@787Bisurdaddy At 20X the cost, yes. Plus the cost of additional hardware and software.

You can't produce the sound of many instruments with electronic instruments. The violin for example. That's still reserved for people who have studied it hard.

mmmm, I wouldn't say creating music doesn't require talent anymore. I'd rather look at this optimistically and say technologies like this one presented make music creations more "accessible" to people. I, for one, think it's great that more people can enjoy listening and creating music. Also, I wouldn't say that DJ work is easy. If you've seen a real DJ good work his table, it looks like another instrument of its own, let alone able to utilize a sample to its fullest.

@Chrismonchan Well, it's not like any other instrument. I mean it's an easier way to make music and sound but you don't have to do anything. Need a drum? Push a button. Keyboard? Guitar? Push a button. You don't even need to know how to keep the beat. It does it already. And let's face it most DJs just take other people's music and mix them together. I'm not bad mouthing it. Just saying a person doesn't need alot of talent anymore.

What do you mean by that? It's not like we don't have any musicians anymore. This is just another instrument like any other. Simplified versions of what DJs use, I believe.
