Toy instrument or serious synth? The Stylophone GEN X-1 is a big upgrade from the original Stylophone pocket synthesizer from 1968, but is it any good?

That thing is still the best low budget entry-level analog -synth experience you can get because that little box is insanely fun to use and tinker with. Got it because it had such a nice 1950s kind of experimental electronic sound. Pair it with an effect pedal and you'd be amazed how massive it can sound. The delay is a little noisy but it adds to the charme. Even with these few parameters to change you can still get a nice range of different sounds out of it. I just wish it had a MIDI input or CV input jack. I wonder if anyone has modded one of these like that so far?

@bit-gx5qb 2 жыл бұрын

Wait, the Gen X1 or the original, because I'm pretty sure the current ones they produce can be turned into a midi board...

Protip. Use the other end of the stylus for the touchsensitive surface above the metallic contact field :) As you can see the other end of the stylus has a little pointy tip. It's perfect to use for it and it prevents the metallic tip to wear off or getting dirty.

I could see this as a way to do Hawkwind-like sounds. Just get the right kind of amp, add a little extra sound processing, a good field recorder, a nice budget rhythm machine (like a KORG Volca Beat), and any good bunch of Dave Brock riffs. Voila! Instant Space Rock Goodness!
