"Are you an experienced Blipblox user? Maybe there are still a few functions you don't know about. In this video, we demonstrate some of the lesser known, but still very cool Blipblox features. All of these features are specific to the SK2 and After Dark models. The only features here that are available on the original white Synth for Kids is the Drum Edit and Drum Solo modes.

Summary of features described in this video:

-Hold 'RANDOMIZE' to 'un-randomize' a sound, so you can return to the last sound.

-Hold down 'Filter Mod' to change filter type. There are 3 filter types: Lowpass, Bandpass, and Highpass. This changes how the Filter lever affects the sound.

-Hold down 'CTRL2' while adjusting the Filter lever to modify the Filter Resonance. Resonance emphasizes the audio at the filter cutoff frequency, creating a 'squeaky' sound.

-Hold down 'CTRL1' while adjusting the Filter lever to modify the Delay Effect. The effect adds a spacey echo sound.

-Hold down the 'KICK' button, and press 'SEQ' activates Drum Solo mode. This turns off the synth engine, so you only hear the drums

-Hold down the 'SNARE' button while pressing 'RANDOMIZE' enters Drum Edit mode. In this mode, 'LFO1' changes the pitch of the Kick Drum, 'MOD1' changes the Kick Drum sound, 'MOD2' changes the Snare Drum sound, and 'LFO2' changes the Snare Drum Pitch. Hold down 'SNARE' and 'RANDOMIZE' to return to normal synth mode."
