Since Korg's Monotron appeared on the scene in 2010, synth manufacturers have been falling over themselves to create cheap and cheerful hardware synths. The latest to hit the market is the anode from MeeBlip, a digital/analogue hybrid that's a collaboration between Create Digital Music's Peter Kirn and Blipsonic's James Grahame.
