Roland, the company behind many iconic drum machines and synthesizers, just released a Minions-themed keyboard. It's bright yellow and adorned with pictures of the cute little troublemakers. The GO: KEYS 3 Minion (singular) is part of the long-standing GO line of products, which is primarily for those new to music-making.

The Minions branding indicates that this is a keyboard aimed at kids, or adults obsessed with Illumination movies. The keyboard is covered in images of the huge-eyed scamps and the keybed has a blue trim, likely to represent their tell-tale overalls. The sound engine has also been sprinkled with some franchise flavor.

There are a whopping 32 Minions-themed sound variations that can be played up and down the keyboard. This includes the voices of Bob, Kevin and Stuart. Beyond that, this is a standard Roland GO: KEYS 3 keyboard, which is a good thing.

These are solid little instruments with nice speakers and a keybed with 61 keys. They are portable and can be powered via AA batteries. This model includes the latest Roland ZEN-Core sound engine, which provides access to more than 1,000 sounds pulled from the company's library.

This includes acoustic pianos, synthesizers, orchestral instruments, drums and a lot more. It can also download new sounds via Roland Cloud Connect. Now for a spot of bad news in this cash-strapped economy.

The GO: KEYS 3 Minion costs $450. The non-branded version costs around $385, so that's $65 for yellow paint, several illustrations and some uploaded samples. Still, this could be a great gift for the budding musician in your life who is also obsessed with pill-shaped creatures.
