GLIDE · Pocket synth

The pocket synth from the video.

Yes, it's real, and you can have one. Every note slides into the next, every key fits the song, and one tap rolls a sound nobody has heard before. It comes charged, tested and ready to play.

What you saw

Try the same trick, right here.

Tap a few keys on the bottom row and they loop as chords. Then play over the top. Hold one key and tap another on the same row and the note slides. That's the whole video.

A MINOR PENT ·clashes 0

Tap the bottom row, then play over it.

Keyboard works too: 1 to 0, q to p, a to ; are the strings, z to / is the jam row. Same letters as the real thing.

A sketch of GLIDE running in your browser, so you can feel it. The real one fits in your hand, has its own speaker and headphone jack, and blends between two sounds when you tilt it.

How the video was made.

Five moves. No lessons, no app, no setup.

  1. bottom row

    Tap a few keys on the low row. They become chords that keep playing under you.

  2. any key

    Play over the top. Scale lock keeps every key in the key, so nothing sounds wrong.

  3. hold + tap

    Hold a key and tap another on the same row. The note glides over, like a finger on a string.

  4. tilt

    Hold a note and lean the device. The sound melts into a second one. That's the change you heard.

  5. tab

    Roll a brand-new sound with one tap. Keep it if you love it, roll again if you don't.

Player reports

Easy, say the people who play it.

I've been playing music for 15 odd years and soloing never once came naturally to me. I can play this thing with my eyes closed and I swear to you it still sounds good. An absolute game changer for approaching music for me.

Extremely easy to play. One of the best tools I have in my stack. Any moment I need something to fidget with, I'm picking up the synth.

Loved synths all my life, and as technology progresses I always see amazing things pop up. One of those things is GLIDE. It lets you jam hassle-free and enjoy music on the go, just like if you had a harmonica in your pocket.

Then it keeps going

The video is day one. Here's day thirty.

Make a whole song

Loop a chord progression with one button, then play a solo over it. No timing to learn.

Play along with anything

Hold one key and GLIDE listens to the song in the room, finds its key and tunes itself to match.

Sounds nobody else has

Randomize builds a new, playable sound from 26 families, from plucks and bells to wobble bass and bowed strings. No limit on rolls.

FAQ

What people asked under the video.

Is it real? Can I actually buy one?

Yes. It's a real instrument, built by hand in small batches. When a batch sells out, the button above becomes a waitlist and you get first dibs on the next one.

Does it come ready to play?

Out of the box. It arrives charged, flashed and tested, with a microSD card of sounds already in it and a printed quick-start guide. Switch it on and press anything.

I can't play anything. Will I sound like the video?

Faster than you'd think. Scale lock keeps every key in the key, and a short playable tour on first switch-on teaches the moves from the video with your own hands.

How long does the battery last?

7 to 12 hours of play. It charges over USB-C in about 7 hours. A cable is in the box.

Who makes these?

One person. Every GLIDE is programmed, played and boxed by hand by its maker, Charles, the guy in the video. He wrote the firmware too, updates it for free, and answers questions himself on Discord. Ships within 5 business days, US only for now.
