Product Description
The Stylophone is a miniature stylus operated synthesizer
invented in 1967 and used by such iconic musicians as David Bowie,
Kraftwerk and Erasure. It features a metal keyboard played by touching
it with a stylus. That's right, over four decades ago with computers the
size of a gymnasium and nary a PDA in sight the Stylophone was a
portable electronic music instrument with stylus based control. This
exact recreation of the original sounds the same as it did in the 60s.
Simply remove the pen and tap any key for classic synth sounds. There is
a switch to add vibrato and you can choose from one of three different
retro organ type sounds. The tuning knob on the bottom allows for some
pitch-bend effects if you must. The Stylophone is one of the simplest
electronic instruments you will find, but it's minimal style is a big
part of its charm.
