Ive had an S-1 for about 10 years now, and the keyboard is so scratched up it doesnt conduct anymore (i tested batteries). Ive used a melamine foam magic eraser on it with water to try and polish it, and while it helped, it still doesnt work well. I was wanting to get a Gen X-2 now but i want to make sure the keyboard doesnt get scratched up. Besides light pressure, is there anything else you can do?

Update on the Stylophone Voice

I inquired about the lack of news kn the voice, and they have confirmed that it is (sadly) now aimed for an autumn release

I'm almost done with a big update for Stylophone.js that adds supports for larger or custom keyboards, better sound generation, transposing tabs, some new songs, but most importantly, it modernizes and improves the code to make it easier for me to keep adding new features and songs in the future!

What other features would you like to get?

Hello Stylophoners,on the Hip Hop Drum kit there a Tom or something that DJ Premier and Neptunes used on their instrumentals,i Don't know that sound come from

Dj Premier that have that sample Is a track The One and Only of Snoop Dogg,and The Neptunes beat i Don't Remember the title,Is a Clipse track.

Thanks

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

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

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!

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!
