Cut the Cables: PartyStudio Wants to Be Your Portable MIDI Powerhouse

If you are a mobile musician, you know the drill: to get a decent jam session going, you need a laptop, an audio interface, cables, a controller, and speakers. PopuMusic—the creators behind the popular PopuPiano—is trying to change that workflow with PartyStudio, a device they claim is the "World's First Wireless MIDI Synth Speaker." It combines a powerful speaker, a sound engine, and a wireless hub into one backpack-friendly unit.


Project Overview

Name and Creator: PartyStudio by PopuMusic.

What It Is: PartyStudio is an all-in-one music hub that functions as a 70W Bluetooth speaker, a MIDI host, and a synthesizer. It allows you to connect up to four MIDI keyboards simultaneously (three wirelessly via Bluetooth MIDI and one via USB-C) and play them instantly with zero perceptible latency. It removes the need for a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or a laptop, effectively turning your MIDI controller into a standalone instrument.


Key Features

  • Wireless MIDI Hub: Connects to any standard MIDI controller via Bluetooth or USB. It supports up to 4 simultaneous connections, meaning you and three friends can jam together using just one speaker.

  • Built-in Sound Engine: It comes pre-loaded with 128 professional instrument tones (from pianos to synths) and a drum machine with over 50 rhythm patterns, so your controller doesn't need its own sounds.

  • Zero Latency: PopuMusic claims a sub-16ms latency, which is critical for live performance, ensuring that the sound plays the instant you hit a key.

  • Visual Flair: An interactive circular touchscreen lets you navigate sounds and settings, while a synchronized LED light strip pulses in time with the music to set the mood.

  • Portable Power: It features a 5000mAh battery that provides around 8 hours of playtime, making it truly portable for busking or outdoor parties.


Rewards

  • Kickstarter Pricing:

    • Super Early Bird: Backers can secure a PartyStudio for approximately $299, a significant discount off the planned retail price.

    • Retail Price: The device is expected to retail for around $499 after the campaign.

    • Warranty: The creators are offering a 2-year warranty for manufacturing issues.

  • Campaign Status: The project is currently active and is scheduled to end on January 16, 2026.


Concept

The core concept of PartyStudio is "frictionless creativity." Modern music production often requires 10 minutes of setup before you can play a single note. PartyStudio aims to capture the spontaneity of an acoustic instrument, you just turn it on and play, while retaining the versatility of electronic music. It bridges the gap between a "dumb" Bluetooth speaker and a complex studio setup.


Inspiration

PopuMusic has a history of trying to gamify and simplify music learning (as seen with their previous smart instruments). The inspiration for PartyStudio came from seeing musicians struggle with the "wall of tech" that stands between them and a quick jam session. They wanted to build a device that serves the "bedroom producer" who wants to take their show to the living room, the park, or a friend's house without needing a tangle of wires.
