Stylophones are CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

[@adamschranz8888]

Let me know your thoughts or any questions about the stylophone!! Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:16 - What is a Stylophone? 0:58 - Overview of the Instrument 2:32 - Hidden Feature of the Stylophone 4:18 - Sound Demo w/ Music 5:09 - Summary

[@Anton-du-Fleur]

Ive got the Gen R-8

[@yaboysambeats]

the tuning knob on the back not only changes the overall tune but also changes the overall tone as well. you can go from a perfect square wave to like a mix between a pulse wave and a saw

[@adamschranz8888]

Wait that’s wild !!

[@Stylophone]

Thanks for spreading the word!👍

[@adamschranz8888]

Woahh thank you!!

[@AndTheStoryGoes]

Holy shit, is that THE stylophone? I just got one today and am doing research, I'm fascinated

[@Zander-hf7di]

Waka Waka stylophone

[@liquidsakura]

be careful going down this road my friend, one toy synthesizer today could lead to shelves of synthesizers tomorrow. it was the GEN-X1 that got me hooked.

[@ubilambda]

Exactly! I just ordered a Gen X-1 version today actually.

[@matro951]

Yep mines already started 2 stylos ,gakken,jt4000,Donner etc

[@prod_lebig]

GEN-X1 is the best, he got more options for create your sounds

[@keinzmorrissey]

As soon as you started using your hand to play I immediately rushed to get my stylohpone and try it out. This adds many more creative ways to make sounds on the normal stylophone I love it so much

[@adamschranz8888]

Yeah thanks, it really adds a whole new musical dimension to the stylophone.

[@tommyagain38]

Same here. I just got mine today. Had no idea you could use your fingers like that.

[@Priantz]

Hoo hooo! I'm a stylophone user and noticed that my hands can make noise / sound, but I did it just touching the stylus tip with my fingers (with a classic audio cable buzzy sound). This feature you show is on the next level, I'll definitely do it in my next videos! thanks for the "Tip"! 😁

[@bobbyrutz9402]

Sounded like Excite Bike!

[@adamschranz8888]

It does have that 8 bit Nintendo sound lol

[@EmeraldOtringal]

04:14 dude WTF, I am literally eating 2 raw carrots right now as I'm watching this 😂😅

[@Da1AliBi]

I gotta wipe the dust off of my trusty stylophone after this comprehensive presentation of the posibilities. 😀 It is fun to play and deserves more usage. Thank's for reminding me!

[@amonster8mymother]

I was not aware of the musical application of carrots.

[@TiLeo]

I just bought one. Thank you for the suggestion to play it with my fingers. I wouldn't have thought about this myself. Neat little instrument that thing is.

[@Synthulhu]

not sure why but that trick doesn't work on my stylophone,

[@xunk16]

Can't believe it took me five different video reviews before someone finally thought about using it like a theremin. But here we are. Thanks for proving my suspicion about the stylus Vs finger control!

[@paulmix3858]

I had my first stylophone in late 60s and of course practiced to play Telstar.

[@return2sender791]

Somewhere in a box I have a circuit bent stylophone. I think it was my first successful bent instrument. I should dig it up and make a video its pretty damn wild compared to the stock stylophone haha.

[@dingothps]

aw, sadly i does not work with my gen x-1, but you still have that ribbonband instead for kinda the same effect

[@IndiaBoy]

you should check out "pocket calculator" by Kraftwerk

[@Rarea1r47]

Hi mate, I agree - the Stylophone is with out a doubt one of the greatest instruments !

[@adamschranz8888]

Yes, really affordable for a genuinely cool synth

[@nopenullify8947]

Cool Pink Floyd poster! I believe they gave that one (well, a version of that poster('s) design) away with another poster inside the Dark Side of the Moon vinyls from the 70s ...

[@kerrymould7665]

Pyramids of giza in blue

the grandfather of the otamatone! :D

[@Sylkis89]

That whammy effect when using a finger is so cool

[@GeorgeEgroed-e7f]

The concertina as a portable instrument

[@Beardqt]

You've got the formula down, the editing is on point, everything is very high quality, you obviously know how to use what you're presenting, overall a great video and I think with time you'll make it pretty far on here.

[@adamschranz8888]

Thank you man, I really spent a lot of time on this video to step up my quality and format 👍

[@bedboy9787]

Is this how they did Sweeps voice on the Sooty show?

[@hecb87]

It's also good for tuning other instruments like acoustic guitars

[@agnidas5816]

it's not the voltage that kills you - it's the amperage/power. also that current is running on the outside along your skin - not through you. mostly. there is not enough modern day experiments with how low power and even low voltage currents affects our human system. even holding a capacitor affects how my mind thinks. But I dunno any open studies. Most people who talk about it claim some really crazy results - like God Helmet

[@Spid88PL]

sounds like dying fly on high

[@PC-tan]

The only reason that I know that these exist is because of Infity Train Season 4 since one of the dudes plays one of these for their two man band.

[@ocdmusic]

lol I have the gen-x need to experiment with this lol

[@Runneround]

very cool video dude! respectfully i still don't think Stylophones are underrated - at all :) they are fun though!

[@DanielMartinez316]

what about battery life?

[@Link017]

got one today

[@martinfox9443]

That was a cool video not seen that before i don't think.

[@bogucmusic3299]

I don't know why but with me the finger play doesn't work. :-(

[@adamschranz8888]

have you tried putting it up to the highest octave. Also sometimes you have to put a lot of surface area of your finger onto the keyboard part

[@danvasart]

​@@adamschranz8888I have a "50th anniversary" edition in a black box packaging, made by a company called "Dubreq",, it looks a lil different than yours, maybe it's circuit loop is different, cuz mine can't do it either. Oh well, I still enjoy my stylophone.

[@amonster8mymother]

Very fancy.

[@JNico444]

4:45 it sounds like a Kazoo 😂

[@Tom-u1r]

Sounds a lot like a kazoo to me at around 4:50

[@BooleanDisorder]

Styrofoam is underrated too!

[@jerrycrow66]

Well I never knew that! 😜

[@justinhuffman2430]

Lovely

[@Lykantroph314]

I informed me about stylophones since tree years. And i going to buy that nice f%cking CRAP!TAKE MY MONEY

[@folive64]

My dad gave me one of these in 1974! I enjoyed it like a toy, not as a musical instrument, for I didn't know how to play any music. It was fun, though. Unfortunately, after decades, one day I tested it and it was not working anymore, so I threw it out. Thanks for the video, it brought me some good memories from the past.

[@JohnMassari]

It rox ‼️

[@londonalicante]

How can you sit there in a Led Zeppelin Tshirt talking about pitch bending a stylophone and NOT play Kashmir! Also... Motorbike? I thought of something else lol.

[@SnakePlissken25]

So an electric kazoo, basically?

[@itisinickt]

what microsoft sam sung at his own funeral. RIP

[@wimschiereck7103]

Where comes the drum sound into this video

[@Keith-rk4td]

They need a better way to wire the stylus. So many get the wire pulled out.

[@Sabot623]

Sounds like meme music haha they need a reverb for this bad boy

[@izabellnemilindfors2566]

Love this instrument its azum but I cant aford it

[@robinbetournaystylophone3071]

Grrat video dude, I own 11 Stylophones and do Stylophone content on my KZbin channel 😁✌️❤️

[@adamschranz8888]

Thanks man, I'll be sure to check it out

[@robinbetournaystylophone3071]

@adamschranz8888 the Theremin effect is quiet cool, I discovered it quiet early in my Stylophone journey and found so much more cool tricks, I will do a 101 Stylophone video 😁✌️❤️

[@_munkykok_]

Style or phone?? 🤔

[@johnc3403]

Can you guess what it is yet?

[@balsalmalberto8086]

Your parents are raising you right

[@karlgolphin1868]

Sounds like Sweep on acid

[@proxdxdmusic]

so basically you created a smaller theremin...

[@prod_lebig]

Is way simple to use instead of the Theremin

[@GeorgeEgroed-e7f]

And horendously overprised i wanted it but yea, good luck 50 $ yea i will probably buy a violine for some reasone

[@rickwilliams967]

I promise they aren't. Nice posters though.

[@AlvaroVega75]

a stylophone it's not a synthesizer by any means

[@adamschranz8888]

Interesting take. Its marketed as a synthesiser on the website, and by definition it is an electronic instrument that produces audio signals

[@frenkyboydnb]

That electricity goes trough you, don't do it. High voltage goes over you. Remember the 500k volts experiment from Tesla. It is not alot, but enough to stop somebodys faulty heart. Don't put your self as conduit.

[@adamschranz8888]

I understand this, but the Stylophone is powered by 3 AA batteries meaning only a maximum of around 4.5 volts, which is much lower than required to do damage. For someone with a weak heart or pacemaker they may need to consider this.

[@digitig]

Wrong. What’s actually dangerous is power, not voltage. The Tesla coils are safe not because “high voltages go over you” but because they can’t deliver much current. High voltages that aren’t limited in that way absolutely *can* send current through you and are very dangerous. The lowest voltage to cause serious injury is uncertain. 60V - if it can deliver reasonable power - has been known to be fatal. There are reports where voltages as low as 42V are *suspected* of causing fatality. So, allowing a reasonable safety margin, 30V is generally considered safe. 4.5V is not an issue at all.

[@frenkyboydnb]

@@digitig 250k and over goes trought your skin, by the outer layer. I held 500k volts, and had it running trough me. This is where they generator renegeration and protectin theory comes from. Homw many times it can get hit without it getting faulty. Moms uncer spent his life in CERN studying it. But tank youf or your info.

[@digitig]

@@frenkyboydnb I'm a chartered electrical engineer with a degree in electrical and electronic engineering, so I don't need to ask my mum. Believe me, if you connect 500V across your body and it isn't *very* limited in some way such as being just static electricity or *very* impedance limited, it *will* go through you and you are very unlikely to come out of it well. Please learn basic electrical safety before risking lives on something misheard or misunderstood. Oh, and you have never had 500V going *through* you. *Volts* can't go through anything. Amps do. Volts are what pushes the Amps, not what goes through. You didn't understand what was happenimg.

[@frenkyboydnb]

@@digitig omg read 500K V not 500, as in 500.000V. 500 kills you, since you are the ground. who gave you your degree my man :D reading is a basic life skill brother
