6:06 worthy of a DOOM, Aliens, Terminator, warhammer 40k, or Judge Dredd ambient soundtrack, imo. That sort of slow grinding industrial cyberpunk throb of not-entirely-musical tension that screams *IT'S AROUND THE CORNER, WAITING TO GET YOU !!* but the poor sap can't help but walk right into it, and get neck-lifted. / dead

Nice to see someone who knows something about synths reviewing this, seems like you can do alot with the mix of filter, lfo and envelope settings, and the dual oscillation you can get widens the possibilities. Could have made that long drone with a droning high note so further in to the track you get abit more depth. Really great review, looking forward to Getting my hands on this

[@dictaphonediaries911]

That was amazing! Im SOLD! Thanks for showing folks what a "toy" can do...well done! Subscribed! 👍🏼

[@OscillatorSink]

Thank you, and welcome to the channel!

[@scriptguru8]

Fantastic! Highly underrated video on Gen X-1!

[@saladfatoosh2293]

All I can say is brilliant. You truly know synths and how to bring your creations to life. Well executed. It really matched the footage quite nicely.

[@OscillatorSink]

Very kind of you say 😊

[@rars0n]

Very expressive hands! I love your videos. "Close enough for jazz." LOL

[@moonstrifflimestone5493]

Very cool! You really seem to know what you're doing - the range of sounds the stylophone produced is quite interesting! :D

[@coral6601]

So good !

[@TPsynth]

Fantastic! Happy Halloween

[@OscillatorSink]

And to you!

[@rars0n]

Just watching you tweak this it's very interesting the quality of sound you can get from a "toy" instrument like this. It seems like they really did add quite a bit to the standard Stylophone concept.

[@OscillatorSink]

The two modern stylophones (this one and the Gen R-8) have a really great raw sound - I feel like they've stuck with the original's "raw" unrefined sound and then leant into that rather than tried to shave off the rough edges - the result is pretty compelling and different to other stuff on the market.

This was so awesome haha

Like! ) Simply and productivity synth on GEN X-1

[@rars0n]

I loved the comment "You always need reverb." Do you have a favorite reverb for synth sounds? Naturally I assume it depends upon what kind of sounds you're trying to make, but in general, do you have a reverb unit you prefer?

[@OscillatorSink]

You do always need reverb! For live / hardware use I've settled on the Polara from Digitech. It's very "uncomplicated" but the flip side is that there's literally no setting that sounds bad. I've done a pretty extensive demo of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIPCdatsntaKd9k

[@phoenixx5092]

if you put your finger in contact with the stylus tip while playing on the left side, and tap a metal contact on the right side with a finger, you get some grimy pitch shift sound too.. which with the extra filters could add some even odder sounds

[@OscillatorSink]

Great tip!

[@parasiteunit]

Been on the fence about this synth. Think this vid has got me off it.

[@therealmodernwalking9695]

Hi, thx u for your kool video, i have 2 questions for u. 1. What is this wire plugged into gen x1, is ot for spekers, sound capturing? 2. Do u still use this kool thing??

[@OscillatorSink]

The cable is to capture the sound yes, rather than using the internal speaker. I plan to use it some more, but I'd only just got it when I recorded that video.

[@LaneLevens]

this guy reminds me of peter draws

[@lee3144]

best teview yet what reverb are you using can you give a link to it

[@OscillatorSink]

It was probably a Digitech Polara reverb, but it was over 3 years ago so my memory is a little fuzzy.

[@lee3144]

@@OscillatorSink yeh i found it but you cant buy it anymore which is a shame

[@lee3144]

@@OscillatorSink is there another reverb thats simlar that you can still buy rhe zoom is too metallic rhe polara sounded amazing

[@OscillatorSink]

@@lee3144 not exactly similar but I really like the reverbs from GFI System and Source Audio.

[@fredgorey]

Did you use a reverb pedal? If do which one?

[@fredgorey]

So*

[@OscillatorSink]

Yes, it's a Digitech Polara. I did a review / comparison of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIPCdatsntaKd9k

[@fredgorey]

@@OscillatorSink thank you I just ordered this synth now I need a reverb thank.you for this video, just what I've been looking for...

It sounds like the song they play in stranger things 👀

Reminds me of the beginning of Holy Diver
