Got a favourite electronic instrument?

[@mylogify]

LOOTd I bought Roland Gaia, because I liked the digital sounds it produce, I miss trance music, it is almost impossible to hear trance anywhere.

[@megurineluka2767]

LOOTd otomatone

[@megurineluka2767]

LOOTd there nothing synthetic about this channel

[@LOOTd]

Good choice 👌

[@RetroPlus]

Otamatone of course!

[@maxlewenberg2989]

Should have plat that one meme “LETS GO!”

[@LOOTd]

Wasn't a thing when we made this video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@gametrue2229]

LOOTd whats stopping you?

[@MegapiemanPHD]

By the end of this you'll be a musical master at this rate.

[@LOOTd]

With any luck, then if this KZbin stuff doesn't work out I can make a career making background music for Casey Neistat videos.

[@chrisbrown8935]

LOOTd doesn’t sound too bad! I’d use your music any day!

[@RetroPlus]

I knew you'd eventually do this. Mine is actually the original one from the 70s! It's that old and still works perfectly. In good condition too, these things are annoying though. The original doesn't actually turn down so you have to put your hand over the speaker.

[@LOOTd]

The volume control is the best new addition for sure!

[@RetroPlus]

LOOTd My bleeding ears agree!

[@lundsweden]

Yeah, it is very loud (and piercing!)

[@DeadTongue]

1:16 that ashens refrence lmao.

[@nicks4802]

Hats off, lads.

[@craseescoba3497]

Fun fact! Stylophone was used in retro games like nes

[@bruharoza7489]

Your best videos are when you discover new instruments

[@LOOTd]

Thanks bud!

[@Whatdadogdoin]

@@LOOTd hey what batteries use the stylophone?

[@sivvitytech3118]

I had ordered mine a few days ago. And it shipped out now I’m just waiting for it to come in. All I know is it’s probably going to drive my grandma nuts. I had played with one when I went to this place in Boston call the Carroll Center for the blind. The shop teacher had one. And he let me play with it. I’ll never forget though when I turn the tuner all the way up and played the highest note I started laughing hysterically. I really don’t mind though. When I get mine I’m just going to have as much fun with it as I did down there.

[@sivvitytech3118]

Oh yes and here’s another funny part. When he told me it was time to go I just kept on playing with it. I was too addicted. And I remember telling him I literally said no I don’t wanna go I wanna play with having too much fun. But he told me I had to go so I turned it off and went back to my other classes. But I kept thinking about that thing all day. That’s why I just thought to myself what the heck I have to order one.

[@30MrBappMan]

I just got one on Christmas and this video has been very enlightening 😳🔥

[@mrbarackmobamba5188]

Your production value is incredible you will 100% atleast hit 100k subs

[@LOOTd]

Thanks buddy :)

[@mrbarackmobamba5188]

LOOTd you’re welcome I just call it as I see it. Good luck with the channel brother

[@analogsynthplayer]

Ran it through effects pedals and a marshal and sounds wicked

[@incognitou]

Oh la la la!! This’s it then,a stylophone! I was always curious what it was when it appeared in baby driver.

CHARLES DESERVES A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I *DECLARE* HE WILL GET A HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[@mylogify]

I was looking for a synthesizer like a week ago, I also saw it in the store, and I remembered you asap :D. I bought Roland Gaia 01, but having problems hook up to my ipad to work with Cubasis 2. Unfortunately I may return and find another synthesizer works with ipad, I will see.

[@LOOTd]

Oh man the Gaia 01 looks like an amazing piece of kit, shame it doesn't work with the iPad though :/

[@mylogify]

LOOTd They said they will work with an audio interface, I will try to get one

[@angelserrano3655]

Best "Smoke on the water" cover ever!!!

[@jackcoker8232]

Love that Ashens reference

[@ralpharpaio9480]

Did anyone else think of that vine where it’s like: LETS GOOOO!!

[@cryptosatan5758]

10 minutes ago I was standing at my local Goodwill messing with one of these... They told me I couldn't play with it in the store and had to either buy it or put it down... I felt strange walking around looking at my phone doing research on about it (especially since it is only $5) so I came home to be able to get a good idea of what it is (I get random and super od instruments and gadgets to use randomly when I'm recording (I have a home studio do a industrial thrash metal solar project (keep disco evil)... I think this will make it on the next record cuz I'm on my way to get it lol

[@jordanhess2061]

I'm getting one for my son's birthday!

[@PrinceDomG]

Great vid I just come across this specific brand

[@laurasanchez7105]

[@LOOTd]

Not sure if you could consider this video calming

It looks classic, but I bet it feels like holding a tic tac box unlike the originals

[@afanoftruequality8757]

Did you mean sandstorm with Ben's favourite song or what was that in the end supposed to be?
