If you want to make some exotic electronic tonalities like they did in the good old days, then this is your synth! A built-in delay plus a touch-strip will have you sounding like experimental electronic music from the 1950s and 60s. Lovely retro weirdness and a complete basic synthesizer! all in one tiny package. The sound of the future as envisioned 50+ years ago.

Stellar sounds for the price, sounds great plugged directly into something. I have plugged it in directly to the computer to record and through a guitar amp. The Aux in is very useful. I love creating sounds in pro tools to loop through the envelope, delay, and LFO. Two thumbs up.

Great tool for messing around with bass lines. You can also apply delay, cutoff, and resonance to external audio source. I wish I could power it with a power supply tho. Strongly recommended

The Dubreq Stylophone Get X-1 seems interesting but leaves MUCH to be desired. It is analog and the sound of the oscillators and filter are pretty good. However the filter envelope is hardwired and is always active. There is no way to get a filter setting without the envelope and just hear the plain filtering of the oscillators. This is a major design flaw. The sub oscillators and oscillator mod are quite pleasing and much of the sonic scape is shaped by the interplay of these buttons and the LFO section. Another drawback is that the LFO depth does not independently modulate pitch and filter. It is always acting on these in tandem. This further limits the sonic possibility of the synth. Another complaint for the LFO is that it doesn’t get nearly fast enough for some pleasing analog-FM style tones. It’s one of the slowest LFOs I’ve ever used. I got this to make a sample library and while I’m happy with my results. It definitely doesn’t have a wide breadth of territory that it covers. The delay feedback self oscillates at around 50%, making the full range of the knob pretty useless. If you’re interested in making a limited sample library and have used just about everything else then by all means get a Gen X-1. However if you’re really interested in a ribbon controller synth with a stylus, I would probably recommend the regular Stylophone even though I’ve never used one. I know David Bowie used one on Space Oddity and that’s good enough for me. If you’re interested in synthesis in general, I’d recommend a Korg Monologue or Minilogue. The Gen X-1 looks much cooler than it actually is.Read full review

I first saw the Stylophone in 1969. I fInally made my move and bought one, but the new and improved Gen X-1. The unit is a lot of fun. Lots of possibilities. Tuning is a bit of a chore. You have to fool around with it quite a bit to get the hang of how it operates.
