Stylophone On-The-Fly Sequencer


This is a hands-on sequencer built to be played, not just programmed

Every control responds instantly, letting you shape patterns with rhythm, pitch, and playing-style variations while the sequence is running.

No menus, no stopping

Program just 8 steps and instantly access multiple 16**,** 32 or 64-step patterns, switching between them on-the-fly or change direction without breaking the groove. Add glide, ratchets, rests, ties, or controlled randomness per step while the sequence is playing

Curious to see how you actually program the patterns.
And also how it deals with non 4/4 patterns. I want to like it !

Moog DFAM style?

Looks more Subharmonicon on steroids but would go well with DFAM.

What happened here…

I’m curious. It seems to be to feature packed for the controls. Will it be semi menu divvy? (A lot of page and function switching)

My guess is that there aren’t going to be any hidden modes or shift combos. That’s kind of against the philosophy of this line.

Not all the details are clear, but I can see the broad outlines of what the pattern generation is like. You have four steps in the A sequence and four in the B sequence; each is a gate and V/oct. There are step functions which complicate things, and it’s not clear whether steps can be skipped or muted like in the Korg SQ-1 (which has two 8-step sequences). But the basic pattern blocks can be repeated in various ways using the pattern chain knob on the right: AABB, AAAA, and so on. That gets to 16 steps. There’s a switch that says 32/64, but it’s unclear how the pattern is extended in those cases. Also unclear are some of the options around the knob that aren’t just A or B.

you can and much more

Pleased to see scale options for pitch control!

They advertise to 1024 in step record mode,

Pitch/duty, is it linked? How can a pot be both?
There’s a gate out per step…but where are the 1 CV outs? Or it it just one, I was under the impression that you can have both sequences play like the sq-1.
What’s the point of individual gate outs?

So many questions.

(Love my sq-1)

It looks like there is a little mode button to the right of the row of pitch/duty knobs.

SQ-1s are cool.

Not sure I get this, but isn’t it like a fancy arpeggiator?

As mentioned button select at end of row

End of year they said today at Namm.

…and mentioned probably 150-200 (pounds? Dollars?).

Stoked to hear what I suspect to be a Bristolian accent from the Stylophone rep too.

Nice to hear a Brit pronounce “r”. :rofl:

Really cool. Here’s a short overview from NAMM… No mentioning of the price, though.

Still roughly a year to go till release. A lot can change.
