Donner Music is thrilled to announce the latest evolution in portable music production: the STARRYPAD MINI. Following the acclaimed success of the 2023 STARRYPAD, this new compact powerhouse delivers the same professional-grade expressiveness and functionality in a revolutionary, pocket-sized form. Designed for the modern, mobile creator, the STARRYPAD MINI ensures your inspiration is never limited by location.
Ultra-Portable, Uncompromising Power
Weighing a mere 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) and measuring just 5.71 x 4.53 x 1.02 inches, the STARRYPAD MINI is built to go wherever you do. Slip it into your backpack or even a large pocket, and transform any space into a mobile studio—from a coffee shop table to a park bench.
16 Expressive RGB Pads
At its heart are 16 velocity-sensitive silicone pads, each equipped with polyphonic aftertouch for nuanced, dynamic control over your sounds and effects. The vibrant, customizable RGB backlighting allows for clear visual feedback in any environment, helping you track patterns, scales, or custom mappings at a glance.
Quiet & Responsive Playability
The soft silicone pads offer a satisfyingly responsive feel while maintaining a low-noise profile, perfect for spontaneous creation without distraction—whether you're on a train, in a library, or late at night at home.
