I own the original stylophone and now I have the beat. It is so adorable and when plugged in wow the sound is big! I love even just practicing making beats since I am not a drummer. Great fun and nice video !
Great a useful review! I'm buying it on Amazon right now! the only thing missing is the CV out, but I hope someone will soon explain if it can be added and how to do it. Even a tap tempo would have sufficed...
so with no outputs - i could run a 3.5mm from the heaphones to a mixer with a 3.5 ->1.4" or even 3.5mm -> rca, no? yeah no sync'ing - it is 40 bucks.... but is there an owner that doesnt see a way for this to work?
Toy is subjective. It’s musical and controllable. Limitations always breed creativity as well. Watch more performance videos on it to see if it would be a good fit for you. Good luck! ✌️
So you programmed all drum sequences yourself, right? They are not premade and you can only change the rhythms? And how work it? Is it possible to do step recording like on the Volcas or you have to play live and it will be quantized? Hope you understand what I mean...its been a while since school 😂. Greetings from Germany
Hey! I think I know what you mean. It is an 8 bar sequencer I believe more or less. These are not programmed or preset sequences. I did them all myself. Hope that helps!
No quantization, no step sequencer, no permanent memory. The hardest part is keeping the right tempo when you input a pattern. Even though: super cheesy machine that I love very, very much!
@@annother3350 I own the Stylophone Beat and, sadly, it is not quantised. But after some practice you can input stuff that's in tempo. And you can input layer for layer. And delete mistakes etc.
Stuff like this is more useful than half the autopilot melody generators and modular madness stuff from these synth expo coverages lately. Seems like they'd help directy with being a better musician than just theoretical generative notions and the cliched "happy accidents".
