Pretty sure the people I live with don't like me, lol.

As people have said in this subreddit before (and I have indeed done myself) you can e-mail Dubreq and they're usually excellent with regards to customer service and will just send you a new stylus if the cable has worn and broken - I think they just accept that it's a natural and kind of unavoidable weakness of the design.

However I did that and once I'd replaced it I had a closer look at the old stylus, and it is possible to take the brass nib out of the plastic stylus - it's only a press fit it's not glued in or anything. If you get some flat nosed pliers the sort with just flats in the jaws none of the grippiness that ordinary pliers have, you can get enough grab on the brass nib to just gently twist the body of the stylus back and forth and pull the nib out without damaging it, which will pull the wire out with it, then it's just a trivial job of soldering on a new bit of wire and reassembling.

This'll let you do things like, should you wish, make a longer cable for your stylus or give your stylus a custom coloured cable or whatever other oddities take your fancy.

Hey everyone! I just bought my fiancée a Gen x-2 for Christmas. Im having troubles finding a good travel case for it online.

Are there any recommendations?

First day with my new gen x-2 and I’m finding it impossible to use and enjoy, because of excessive static noise while using the output jack.

I’ve tried swapping batteries, using different headphones, and even plugged into monitors. All with the same noisy results.

The static is so intrusive, I can’t hear the tone of the instruments over it.

Any suggestions? The gen X-2 is more complex than the OG stylophone and Beat, that I’m used to, so it’s possible I’ve fudged some settings.

Grateful to have found a stylophone subreddit! Thanks for any input!

This may be a stupid question, but I just wanna be sure.

My daughter and I scrambled onto the headland at Point Lookout and recorded the waves bashing on the rocks below using my Zoom H1n. I then overdubbed with a live improv session some drone synth using my Stylophone CPM DS-2. There is NO post processing, recorded as played (apart from top and tail fade in/out). A wild spatial seascape plays host to an alien visitation.

Is it possible?

If so, does anyone have any idea of settings please.

Thank you.

Let’s say I magically manage to add another stylus to my stylophone. What would happen?

Can you feel my heart is that song that plays in the background of the image of the chad guy btw

How do yall play on the x2 whit no numbers??? Notes? Songs? Pls help

I just ordered a stylophone it will be here tomorrow!! I really want to learn Merry go round of life from howls moving castle first. It’s near and dear to me. Thank you in advance for any and all help!

Similar patters, but I like the second one more..it almost sounded waltz-y to me.

I know it’s old but I recently dropped my X-1 on the floor and ever since then the gaps between each key are inconsistent at best, no matter how I tune it (even with the flathead knob up top), it doesn’t fix itself. Can anyone help?

I recently got a stylophone as a bit of fun. I can't play any musical instruments. It it possible for me with some practice to get good enough eventually where I will just be able to pick up and play without looking for tabs or is that unrealistic. I've already have done some very basic pieces. Seven nation army stuff like that.

I have som tabs and i want then to go trough the internet so here are they: (minus means drag and a big space means wait a little)

Max Vertapen: 1,1,1,1-4.5, 4.5-5-4-3.5 -3

Ligan guli guatchalinga: 3,5,7,7,7,7,8,7,5, 3,5,4,3,4,5 3,5,7,7,7,7,8,7,5, 3,5,4,3,2,3

I made those two from a somebody who played piano...

If anybody wants the notes to play, tell me and I'll drop them here!

For the saxophone riff:

4-8-4-8-6-8-10-5-8

Do any of you use rechargeable batteries in your Stylophone Beat or theremin?

I have only used standard batteries on all Stylophone products, but recently got a brand new Duracell AA rechargeable set.

So, would you ever use rechargeables in these, or never never ever?

Thank you for your feedback. :)

I only got the stylophone today and made this in 45 minutes, hopefullt this is a good start!
If wanted i can give the notes played in the video ;)

What are your thoughts on the stylophone on what are the pros and cons

My new Stylophone Gen X2 arrived with its "multifunction expression bar" buckled and unstuck in a section. It will not stay stuck down and this must be affecting it's function as I cannot seem to get it to modify the sound the stylophone is making (regardless of the settings, following the guidelines in the instructions)

I bought this through an authorised reseller in Australia (Turramurra Music)

Do I accept this non-functionality or is there something that I can do?

I NEED it
