"The collection includes a record player, LED work, lamps, a clock; laptop, tablet, speaker, and record stands; a desk, shelving units, an armchair, bags, a laptop bag, rug, sleepers, a throw and a cushion cover."

“We wanted to simplify the process for people to create music."

A synthesizer would have been a fun touch that actually helped with the music production side of things. A well thought out and reasonably priced unit would also be an interesting way to get kids into the field. Ikea partnered with Teenage Engineering, I'm surprised they didn't even go as far as co-branding a pocket operator.

What is needed is a good affordable sampler, Elektron model:samples is a Rompler and doesn't cut it. Volca Sample is a Rompler, PO-33 is good but too limited and fiddly.

Korg's Electribe's a real sampler, pretty reasonably priced too.

Yeah, specially if you can find it used. Btw, there's Hacktribe firware as well: https://github.com/bangcorrupt/hacktribe

Novation Circuit Rhythm has been under-powered from the start, hopefully they will release mk2 with faster CPU and bigger RAM.

That’s neat, didn’t know about this!
