Amidio Seline HD, £3.49

An innovative looking synth that’s said to be capable of analysing and predicting your melodies. It’s played with two hands on a surface called the ioGrid - which will “never let you play ‘bad’ notes”, apparently - and you can choose from 20 sounds and a further nine drone voices. Check out Seline HD being played in this video.

I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
