Stylophone GEN X-1, Better Than the Original? | LOOTd Unboxing
Ойын-сауық
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?

Literally? As opposed to you didn't literally get one? 😂🤦♂️
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?

Wait, the Gen X1 or the original, because I'm pretty sure the current ones they produce can be turned into a midi board...
My brother bought this for me and it was great to get an overview of what it can do. The ability to manipulate sound coming in through aux looks fun

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.
Just snapped up an open box one on EBay. Thanks for the tip to look out for these!
I can't wait for mine. Looks like so much fun to mess around with
Dear god, the things we have to do to avoid copyright!! Awesome video dude!
I loved this. A lot of good laughs.
Thinking about gifting myself one of these for Christmas. This is exactly the type of video I needed... Someone with as much skill as I have (😂) tooling with it. Thanks for verifying a good buy!
This device would be awesome with a holographic color laser system. The waveforms would just be cool seeing them floating in the air.

Very underated channel.
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!

You literally just convinced me to buy it. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Great vid!
I forgot what this was and I found out again and I’m planning on getting it now cuz I need a new hobby and your videos are awesome
Looking for a video on Stylophones to see if I wanted to get one and found your video. Great info and you look like my younger brother, only British. So double win for me.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Very cool! I think I need need one!
At 3:56 when the pitch increases it literally sounds like that song in the Artpop album called Donatella at the ending by Lady Gaga !!!! (Also great video!)
In the right hands this could be a very cool device. For the price it's got lots of cool features.

these are really cool these was used to make the song scarecrow by Pink Floyd I've been looking for the sound to mess around with the music
_Night of Fire_ is a banger!
I dream about this device. Awesome!
5:49 no words , he already shown what i meant to say it sounds like
Bruh this would be sooooo amazing to have for sound effects in some RPG board games 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
2:27 My cat just looked at me like, come on man wth!
Seems like a versatile, legit synth more than a toy to me. I see a lot of potential for it in lo-fi EDM.
6:09 when you have been at the arcade too long and the bathroom is out of order LOL
This is the content I signed up for 💜💜💜
Would be neat to hear the Moog Minitaur and the Stylophone Gen R 8 together
Reminds me of the Korg Monotron Delay but with a few more knobs!
can you get the classic stylophone sound from it though ??
mine doesn’t work and does not make any sound unless i open the cut off button. Is it normal?
I have a question… When you plug your phone into it how does that exactly work? Were you able to augment some recorded sound from your phone using the synthesizer?
Oh, and the Electronicas' Dance Little Bird is easily the best song to play through the delay.
the first key of my stylophone does not sound if its the first key i play but it sounds if i play another one before. amy help please? :/
What an absolute lovely review! +1 sub on u my newly found internet friend
The ability to use sound effects with this on a creator channel could be valuable
You should try a waterphone! They sound really creepy but cool
My parents are buying me one of those for christmas. I have been wanting one of those from last year but i was not surr is it good until i saw you review
How did you get the blue background ?
My first synth!! The stylus wire they use for that model is crappy, had to send it back twice and finally just take it apart and replace the wire myself which wasn't too hard.. otherwise i would def recommend
What Kind of batteries did you use?
4:08 Alien invasion vibe , like he says
Someone tell me why did they change the keyboard from the S1? It is literally shifted half an octave lower so that you are unable to play anything that used the full range of S1.
Could you do the NSX-39 Stylophone next please?
I want one of those, no joke.
3:20 definitely Missy Elliott - Work it😁😁
3:12 The time when aliens messages us
Next you should use the korg synth that are similar to the style phone
Dope Man kk
Whenever I play it the pitch changes randomly out of nowhere...explanation please

6:17 Echo then jet fighter sound
Kraftwerk used one of the originals - on the track Pocket Calculator. Also David Bowie used one a few times, Space Oddity being the most famous, oh and also John Lennon.. So think it's safe to say it's definition as a toy is questionable...
i want to get this, and i will be getting it in like 3 weeks, after my junior cert exams are done and dusted.
4:01 Ambulance siren but it turns into broken nokia ringtone
I want this, the otamatone, and the kazoo to form the wackiest song ever
If I would like to play as on keyboard, I need this touch pen. Right? I'd like to be sure, because I am blind and I plan to buy this synthesizer.
D time, lmao u r the funny man.
is it possible to tune it? E.g. transpose the keyboard several semitones?

Better than the Korg Monotron(s)?
6:02 pure anxiety
Would you let me buy u the Stylophone vintage?, i cant find it anywhere un Mexico u.u
If your musical skill us an acquired taste, I have acquired that taste.
I appreciate the eurobeat

4:24 ah, and so it became more sonic.
Use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball to remove the label adhesive
I got my arm squeezed by a blood preasure machine. Also, I wanted to give a shoutout that last night it was raining very bad. In mid-way getting my blood preasure takin 2/2, out of no where the power went out at the doctors office, the nurse asked me if it was stuck, IT WAS OFF, THE MACHINE WAS OFF AND I GOT MY ARM STUCK IN THE RAPPER! My nurse had to pull so hard it put a cut on my arm, also, ty LOOTd! Thanks for making the video! I support you!

Got this for my best mates birthday with specific purpose of knowing he will annoy the s**t out of his mrs with it lol
I'd say it's a toy íf yo just use it for making sounds like you do in this video. It would have been far more interesting to hear you play music on it, wouldn't it?
5:20 Jet fighter fuel burning sound , kinda
Please play: across the stars love theme from Star Wars
2:26 Nuclear siren , kind of
You can pick up what used to be veeeeery collectible original stylophones which used to sell for stupid money with the record, in the box, with all the manuals and everything. Not so collectible anymore because of one reason. Can you guess what it is yet?
6:27 it sounds like you’re listening to a Radio Show.
4:28 Ow! ow! ow! alarm
attack, decay and lfo are not fx... they are the envelopes that your sound goes through... they determine the starting rate and the ending rate of the frequency... the lfo is a low frequency oscilator... brings a wave form to your basic oscilation... so a sort of tremelo or woble effect if its slow or an extra crunch to your waveshape when its fast... delay and revirb are indeed effects ;-) you do really not know how to use a synth... haha I recommend doing some basic study on synthesis and then you'll be able to get some sounds out that you like ;-)
Yeaaaaaaaaah. My darkest fantasy came true. Love u guys.!!! Let’s destroy everything. Yeah.!!! I wake up my neighbors with this video. Where’s my heart.???
5:13 Nuke siren , kinda
Can I summon one into my hand right now pls
4:40 Yep
