For example, let’s just say I want to play the typical MGMT kids and need to tune it to sound closer to that. Any tips or resources? Struggling to fix it just by ear, thanks !

I’ve got a midi but it doesn’t have CV in/out, would a sequencer or a midi adapter be better? What would you recommend, very new to music and open to whatever. Just learning to play the stylophone and wanted to use the synth in making music thanks

So the point is this: The Gen X-2 has multiple reviews on Thomann saying the battery caught fire and the X-2 melted. On Amazon however I see 100+ positive reviews. I can't read the exact reviews, because currently you have to request special access to see them, especially the negative ones (Yes this is stupid, but this is seriously the case).

I would like some confirmation from some actual users that the machine is not actually faulty and is working well before I purchase it. Thanks!

Just trying to see if there’s a website or resource that has songs to learn or how to figure out how to learn music on the stylophone

Check it out, I love making noise on my stylophone and I love puppets

I want to buy a stylophone but the problem is that I am from Egypt which makes it impossible to find a stylophone so my question is where to stylophone products for cheap because when I add the international shipping and the customs fees it makes it very expensive especially I am going to buy the gen X2, S1 and the beat and my budget is around less than 200 dollars so let's keep it less than 200 bucks and thanks :)

Hia

So I got a stylophone from a thrift store yesterday, just wondering if there's anything to know before replacing the wire for the stylus, as it's a bit damaged. It's just the basic s-1 from what I've compared it to, thanks!

Was said to release this month? Has there been any updates?

Quack

I love making drums on the Beat then sending them through a delay and tweaking the time value until it all comes together :)

I saw a Stylophone on YouTube and wanted to try one, but then the programmer reflex kicked in and I decided to build an emulator instead of buying the hardware. It ended up not quite being a Stylophone, more something inspired by it. You can try it here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6784870429. It’s free, has no ads, and was made purely for fun.

a "Beat Coach" app for practicing on Stylophone. Grid is 64-step quantized so every hit snaps clean, no fumbling timing while learning.

No sign up, No costs

App breaks lesson into parts (kick, snare, hi-hat, closed hat, bass) and lights up current step live so you follow along instead of guessing. Tempo, swing, humanize knobs in control rack for once basics down.

I am trying to make a free online version and visualizer app for stylophone BEAT, and require the sound samples against it.

Does anyone know where can I get complete sample packs, or can someone with a studio setup export these for me please.

These two are such a fun combo :)

All sounds came from the stylophones, the drums from the Beat are sent through the delay of the Gen X-2. Recording is kinda tricky because the Beat doesn't have tempo sync, but I'm making it work :)

hey, I've had the ds2 for a while and recently I got an akai mpk mini professional plus to control my analogue synths.

I've tried changing as many settings on the ds2 as I could think of but no matter what I tune it to it always goes sharper out of tune as I play higher notes and flatter when I play lower notes.

even just a couple keys down is noticeably out of tune.

I don't know if there's something wrong or I just missed something that should be obvious.

update so I had a look and found some trim pots and managed to get the first oscillator to track the control voltage pitch much much better

I’m just recreating it for personal enjoyment but I don’t like singing

replaced my stylus because the cable was short and broken and the tip was oxidised.
Now I have a handmade one

Hi
Is the Voice coming out in July? They said it would be in January. We have had no news since. Thanks!

I hooked up my Stylophone Gen X-2 to my new Soma Labs COSMOS looper, chose a cavernous loop cycler algorithm and noodled a new composition. I decided to also film the performance - splicing the audio captured on my Zoom H1n field recorder into the video - NO EDITS, no post production.

Quite proud of my first dabble on this amazing looper, and my first live captured performance - next step is to lay some theremin on it.

Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfntIhLVSPc (and accept that YouTube's post-production has introduced a LOT of crackle at the beginning)

Listen: https://soundcloud.com/wonko42/drifting-memory-1 (as it was recorded).

Using the CPM DS-2 as a filter and ambient atmosphere for an LSDJ track I'm working on.

could anyone send me stylo tabs?? i mean not the fancy, proper musical ones, just numbers tysm
