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

[@Bod8998]

I got mine and wrote to them saying I was left handed so they sent me more of the styluses with longer wires on and a hand written letter cheers fellas

[@SqueezeboxOfDelights]

I literally got this instrument for christmas. It does cool noises and annoys my family. I need say no more.

[@marcusquiroa7653]

“and annoys my family” lol sounds perfect 👌

[@babyTOY-YODA777]

Yep. Mine just came in yesterday and the wife was not happy. She was even more u happy when I showed my 2 year old what I got haha

[@cjxj2202]

I need one lol

[@PAR4SIT3]

Same. I have recently learned how to play the “lets go” meme

[@turgidbanana]

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

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

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?

[@bit-gx5qb]

Wait, the Gen X1 or the original, because I'm pretty sure the current ones they produce can be turned into a midi board...

[@straylight08]

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

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

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.

Dear god, the things we have to do to avoid copyright!! Awesome video dude!

This device would be awesome with a holographic color laser system. The waveforms would just be cool seeing them floating in the air.

[@davidbailey1721]

“You ever done DMT?”- Joe Rogan.

[@SuperCartiel]

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!

[@anon4313]

You literally just convinced me to buy it. Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@rockhound7147]

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!

[@milododds1]

In the right hands this could be a very cool device. For the price it's got lots of cool features.

[@JacksonKarmenLowe]

literally right hands 😂

[@deadmanswife3625]

0:26 When you order all you need to do is check the box that says "hide what's inside ship in Amazon packaging" and they'll put it in a box for you there won't be a label on your product

[@TheNumerator12]

You had me dying at "Eww, the front of the box is sticky."

[@ghostinng274]

I can't wait for mine. Looks like so much fun to mess around with

[@jimstorch6434]

Just snapped up an open box one on EBay. Thanks for the tip to look out for these!

[@Dylaniated]

I loved this. A lot of good laughs.

[@NoahHornberger]

6:09 when you have been at the arcade too long and the bathroom is out of order LOL

[@bathala5913]

Very underated channel.

[@rideronthewhitehorse]

Been hearing this ‘Great piece of kit’ a lot about everything... never heard that expression up until a few weeks ago.

[@redstonecommander5190]

5:29 this thing is kind of like a combination of both the monotron duo and delay units combined

[@sonsofmatriarchy5552]

2:27 My cat just looked at me like, come on man wth!

[@danieltoader176]

5:49 no words , he already shown what i meant to say it sounds like

[@totallyfrozen]

Seems like a versatile, legit synth more than a toy to me. I see a lot of potential for it in lo-fi EDM.

[@redstonecommander5190]

0:01 If you combine this with the Montron delay you will make some excellent sound pieces

[@SSbiologicalhazard]

Das klingt genial! 😃🎶

[@Crlarl]

_Night of Fire_ is a banger!

[@lqcrow]

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.

[@joshpunkjgz9311]

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

[@arileedraws3318]

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!)

[@robingahan1234]

Great vid!

[@parasiteunit]

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...

[@IunahYT]

6:22 is that night of fire playing?

[@L00PdeL00P]

Yes

[@danieltoader176]

4:01 Ambulance siren but it turns into broken nokia ringtone

[@dopefreshnation4097]

Just bought mine I want to implement it with my mpc hope all goes well

[@demekagamine]

5:50 Thats probably how the got the sounds for those old types of game. At least id assume

[@tomservo5007]

old games didn't playback recorded sound

[@SqueezeboxOfDelights]

Oh, and the Electronicas' Dance Little Bird is easily the best song to play through the delay.

[@musition-l7c]

When he was fiddling with the different sounds it sounded like a MRI

[@ferreiranoterceirodia]

I dream about this device. Awesome!

[@jsnap1]

4:25 so that's how they made the sonic screwdriver sound from doctor who

[@DennisMC1974]

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

[@moochiemancityfours-6900]

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

[@waternosuka]

mine doesn’t work and does not make any sound unless i open the cut off button. Is it normal?

[@owenyates699]

Gen x-1 is now 74.99 or 75 dollars

[@redstonecommander5190]

It’s as if the korg monoTron and the originals stylophone had a baby and that is the Stylo phone Gen X 1 which is basically a combination of three things the monoTron duo monoTron delay and the original Stylophone

[@danieltoader176]

3:12 The time when aliens messages us

[@eshninerforest]

Very cool! I think I need need one!

[@MarMarVibes]

I want this, the otamatone, and the kazoo to form the wackiest song ever

[@souv1k985]

4:59 sounds like Stephen Walking - Glide

[@calebbrackenbury8240]

Bruh this would be sooooo amazing to have for sound effects in some RPG board games 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@jamescrosley3625]

The ability to use sound effects with this on a creator channel could be valuable

[@BillDerBerg]

Would be neat to hear the Moog Minitaur and the Stylophone Gen R 8 together

[@joethelionjoethelion]

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?

[@danieltoader176]

4:55 Guitar solo , kinda

[@samlaw9938]

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

[@Leo-et8mn]

If your musical skill us an acquired taste, I have acquired that taste.

[@nikkisongx]

You should try a waterphone! They sound really creepy but cool

[@_omega420]

can you get the classic stylophone sound from it though ??

[@Pur8tyALT]

This guy listens to Eurobeat, he is cultured

[@marcooros9103]

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.

[@yeoldefoxeh254]

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.

[@stoneyboyd]

6:27 it sounds like you’re listening to a Radio Show.

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!

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

[@Vinterfrid]

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?

[@danieltoader176]

3:56 Alien Alarm again

[@unfinishedmonkeyrecords]

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 ;-)

[@danieltoader176]

4:17 No words for that

[@AnxiousFly]

No2?

[@dmthandmade5674]

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?

[@88Fitzy88]

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
