What’s the difference between Synthia and Jay-D?Updated 7 months ago

For a start, Jay-D is a DIY DJ mixtable, while Synthia is a DIY digital musical sampler

Synthia is our newest device, and we tried to make it a bit cooler.
The biggest difference is that Jay-D has a display while Synthia does not. On the other hand, Synthia comes equipped with a microphone, a feature Jay-D lacks, making it capable of recording. 

Both devices offer valuable learning opportunities in areas such as digital-to-analog conversion, microcomputers, and various electronic components. You'll also learn about digital audio systems, sound waves, LEDs, and more.

While Jay-D serves as a mini DJ mixtable, Synthia combines the sampler, drum machine, sequencer, and synthesizer functions. 

After building it, with Jay-D, you can multiple music files simultaneously, fade between the song and control BPMs, design a custom light show, and make your songs and sound effects. Synthia, on the other hand, enables you to record your voice or sounds and craft funky beats!
