Some people hear a song. You hear the patch behind it.

This synthesizer sticker carries Synth Soul, a retro cartoon keyboard with a pad grid, a bank of colored knobs and sparkles popping off both sides. It belongs with the people who would rather turn a dial than skip a track.

The design: a retro keyboard caught mid-sparkle

The instrument sits at a three-quarter angle, as if you were standing just to one side of it. Its top panel is blue-grey with coral-red end cheeks. On the left of the panel is a cream pad grid dotted with rows of black points; in the middle, a small red display strip with buttons and tiny sliders; on the right, rows of round knobs in red, yellow and teal. Below them runs a short keyboard of cream and black keys.

Puffy cream bubble capitals with a thin dark outline frame it: SYNTH arches overhead and SOUL curves below. Four-point sparkle stars in mustard yellow, coral and teal flank the instrument, joined by a few small dots and very faint burst lines behind it.

The colors are muted and warm instead of neon, closer to a well-used studio board than a stage light show. The panel carries no badge or model number, so it can stand for whichever keyboard you learned on.

Synthesizer sticker details: outline cut, opaque vinyl

• The kiss-cut runs around the words and the keyboard and leaves a white margin along their shape
• Opaque vinyl fully covers paint or a previous sticker
• Goes on with no bubbles to chase out
• The vinyl is durable enough for regular use
• One prep step: clean the spot it is going on

Who it's for

Keys players, bedroom producers, modular tinkerers, film-score fans and anyone who lights up at analog-style sound. The photos show the sticker lying flat on a plain surface, so where it lands is up to you: a studio notebook, a gear case or the lid of a laptop are a few ideas. Pass it along with a secondhand pedal, or drop it into a card before a bandmate's first gig.

Quick answers

What size is the artwork itself?

The cut follows the art, so it measures less than the listed square: about 2.3″ wide at 3″×3″, 3.1″ at 4″×4″ and 4.2″ at 5.5″×5.5″. The 15″×3.75″ option prints one design about 3″ across, centered on the sheet.

Is the space between the letters and the keyboard see-through?

No. Everything inside the outline is white vinyl, including the gaps between the words and the instrument.

How many keys does the drawn keyboard have?

It is a short keyboard of roughly three octaves. It is a cartoon, so read it as a picture of the idea and not a diagram of one instrument.
