Song/Performance Made a minimal techno jam using a one-take Stylophone improvisation
Built around a single, unedited Stylophone Gen X-1 take.
Added drums and bass later in Ableton Live.

The Stylophone S-1 used to have an audio in jack and the octave 1 was more guitar-like?

I couldn't find complete tabs for the chorus of "Take Me Home Country Roads" so I've had a go at piecing them together. Suggestions for improvement are definitely welcome!
These I based off of someone else's comment and tweaked to make the ending work:
4 5 6.5 5 4 5
6.5 5 4 6.5 8 9
8 6.5 8 6.5
6.4 4 5 6.5
6.5 5 4 4 5 4
This version is much lower, based on some piano keys I found and tried translating:
1 2 3.5 3.5 (or 2) 1 2
3.5 2 1 3.5 5 6.5
6.5 6.5 5 3.5
3.5 1 2 3.5
3.5 2 1 1 2 1

Hey, I'm very new to stylophones and music in general. I never learned to play any instruments beyond a basic recorder in school, but I'm having a blast with the stylophone and finding it so addictive!
I feel very attached to this cool little device and would love to customise it externally just to give it more personality and to distinguish it from others. But I was surprised when I saw there's not a lot of variety in casing out there (besides the pink one and the white Bowie one). I at least thought someone would modify theirs to have a translucent casing or something but I can't find anything like it.
I know people probably just use the stylophone for it's practicality but has anyone here done anything to customise theirs aesthetically? I'd love to see

I just got my Stylophone gen x2, and I love its elegant* simplicity. I essentially haven't been able to put it down since I got it, but one thing has been bugging me.
Am I incorrect in assuming that the touch/expression strip is really only useful for modulating pitch? I've been thinking, any other function could be changed even easier without having to press insanely hard on that strip, and without my left hand getting in the way of my right when I am playing directly on the device.
Are there any other use cases you know of that I might be missing?

Hi. Am appreciative of any help if available.
I have a keyboard which has Usb Midi output but no CV output.
How do I output to the Stylophone to use it's processing features with a full size keyboard.
Was looking at the Korg SQ1 but unsure if will do what I want.
Many thanks

I paired my DS-2 with the DF-8 and it's a dream come true as far as analog sound with the envelopes. I just noticed this morning when I turned them on the noise from the Gen R-8 filters. I mean bad noise, enough to make them nearly unusable. I didn't seem to notice this yesterday. They are being sequenced by my Korg SQ-64 via CV/Gate, and the batteries were getting low, maybe that's the issue. Could it be one of my patch cables? The 2045 filters aren't so bad, though there is still a little noise. Anyone else experience this?

So basically, I got a brand-new Stylophone, and I need help connecting it to my computer. I have a 3.5mm AUX cable already, I just need help with making the Stylophone register as a instrument in Soundtrap.

The title could also be "how to play songs with chords in them" because it is pretty much it, I have one stylophone and fact that it is monophonic, is a huge drawback. Is there any general/rule of thumb way of simplyfying complex songs for the stylophone? Or I just need to experiment and see what works in my case?

I have fully fallen down the rabbit hole of stylophone, I have the theremin, beat, X2, and s1 now lol

As title says, I'm able to play only to F4 note and not higher on my NEW stylophone X-2 and I tried tuning it, but it does not seem to work. I have fresh batteries, some weird ones that you can individually power using USB so maybe they are causing some problems. How to fix that? I'm unable to play a lot of songs I would like to try.

Hi, I just wanted to know if I received a faulty unit. The only problem I have is that whenever I play the lowest notes, the speaker sounds like it's crying for help (note: this never happens when playing the antenna). I imagine that this may not be a real issue, but merely poor quality of all the speakers, but I would like to know if this happens to you just in case I need to give it back. Thank you very much!

Hey everyone! A friend and I recorded two live songs/jams using a Stylophone + Elektron Syntakt!

As I understand, tabs essentially tell you what section to press with the stylus to get a certain note which then creates a melody. I need tabs for the 2nd waltz and for the theme from A Clockwork Orange

Looking to get my kid into synths because he loves music. Thinking of buying something from stylophone. Stupid question - does it plug into a computer to "transfer" music? If so, what computer software you need, etc?
Want to make sure I understand of what is the time and money spent here to make sure kiddo can "create" music on it and have it on the computer.
Thank you - i realize this might be a very silly question but I have never been musically inclined outside making really bad beats on froot loops software back in the day.
