A synthesizer kit made from magnetic electronic modules, jointly developed by littleBits and KORG. Sakamaki contributed to its planning.

Oscillator, keyboard and sequencer modules connect to form a playable electronic instrument. Changing their arrangement provides a tangible, hands-on way to explore how electronic sounds are generated and controlled.

The Japan Media Arts Festival credits Sakamaki and Ayah Bdeir for planning, and Tatsuya Takahashi, Paul Rothman and Geof Lipman for development.
