Stylophones are CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

Stylophones are niche musical instruments that are pretty overlooked in the musical world. The amount of features and quality of product for its value is highly underrated. Not to mention, there is a cool hack that you can use with all stylophones. Watch this video to find out!!

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

[@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

[@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 !!

[@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.

[@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

[@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"! 😁

[@Sylkis89]

That whammy effect when using a finger is so cool

[@bobbyrutz9402]

Sounded like Excite Bike!

[@adamschranz8888]

It does have that 8 bit Nintendo sound lol

[@amonster8mymother]

I was not aware of the musical application of carrots.

[@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!

[@macemaster]

i wouldn't say they're "underrated," it's more like only musicians know about them. there's levels to this

[@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.

[@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!

[@Synthulhu]

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

[@itisinickt]

what microsoft sam sung at his own funeral. RIP

[@Runneround]

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

[@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.

[@JohnMassari]

It rox ‼️

[@amonster8mymother]

Very fancy.

[@jerrycrow66]

Well I never knew that! 😜

[@ocdmusic]

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

[@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

[@BooleanDisorder]

Styrofoam is underrated too!

[@EmeraldOtringal]

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

[@IndiaBoy]

you should check out "pocket calculator" by Kraftwerk

[@johnc3403]

Can you guess what it is yet?

[@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 👍

[@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

[@Sabot623]

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

[@wimschiereck7103]

Where comes the drum sound into this video

[@izabellnemilindfors2566]

Love this instrument its azum but I cant aford it

[@karlgolphin1868]

Sounds like Sweep on acid

[@Lykantroph314]

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

[@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.

[@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 😁✌️❤️

[@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.

[@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

[@rickwilliams967]

I promise they aren't. Nice posters though.

[@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
