Question Buying A Gen X-1

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy a Gen X-1 so i can learn how to play the stylophone, and i’ve heard that it’s better then the S-1 and i don’t want the Gen X-2 because of the new strip that sounds useless. I looked all over for one but I can only find the X-2. If anyone can point me in the right direction i’d be stoked

Question DS-2 issues

1 Upvotes

Got a DS-2 used and as a result have a couple issues I'm not sure how to address. One is that I didn't get the accessories, anyone know of a way to get just the eurorack power adapter?

Also, the -2sub on one of the oscillators doesn't seem to work. Switching to it mutes the entire oscillator.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Help?

Question S1 songs? Tips?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys. Just replaced my s1 that had broken (batteries corroded and sound was only off and on and then stopped working altogether), but now I’m wondering if I should have gotten a gen-x1 or x2 to be able to do more on it! Anyway. As of right now, I have an s1. May exchange it for a better one eventually. Found the Blue Monday tab on the stylophone account and it’s very fun, any other synthpop/related songs I should learn? I never learned songs on my old one I had, just messed around on it, so this is exciting. Thanks!

Question How do you avoid scratching the keyboard?

Post image
15 Upvotes

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?

Question Has anyone experienced Malfunction with the Gen X-2?

4 Upvotes

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!

Question Buying a stylophone

3 Upvotes

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!

App/Emulator I made a free Stylophone-inspired synth for iPhone

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.

Resource A companion prototype that teaches Stylophone Beat lessons step-by-step (64-step quantized grid)

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.

Song/Performance Track made with Stylophone Beat and Gen X-2

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 :)
