  • Our take on the Dubreq Stylophone Gen X-2 Portable Synthesizer

    The Stylophone Gen X-2 is a portable analog synthesizer played with a stylus on a two-octave metal keyboard, the same touch-plate idea behind the original Stylophone David Bowie used on "Space Oddity." It adds real synthesis controls over the Gen X-1: a low-pass filter with envelope, an LFO, pulse width modulation, an adjustable delay and a multifunction expression strip. CV and gate jacks plus an octave switch let it drive or be driven by a keyboard or sequencer, so it works as a small studio module as well as a pocket instrument. It suits players who want a cheap, hands-on way to learn subtractive synthesis and a distinctive stylus sound, not people who need polyphony or preset memory.

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat the Gen X-2 as a fun, affordable analog toy that is more capable than it looks, with the filter and delay getting the most praise. Many note the stylus takes getting used to and the small speaker limits it, so most play through an amp or interface.

    What people mention
    • FilterPraisedOwners like the low-pass filter and envelope for shaping warm, squelchy tones.
    • Stylus playingMixedPlayers enjoy the stylus feel but say hitting exact notes takes practice.
    • DelayPraisedThe adjustable delay is called a big step up from the Gen X-1.
    • ConnectivityPraisedCV and gate jacks let it slot into modular and sequencer setups.
    • SpeakerCriticisedThe built-in speaker is described as small and thin, so most use headphones or an amp.
    • PolyphonyCriticisedIt plays one note at a time, which limits chords and layered parts.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Gen X-2 worth it over the Gen X-1?
    Yes, if you want more control. The X-2 adds CV and gate, an octave switch, an expression strip and a delay the X-1 lacks, while keeping the same stylus playing style.
    Can I play it with a normal keyboard?
    Yes. The CV and gate jacks let you control it from a compatible keyboard or sequencer, and you can still play the touch keyboard with the stylus.
    Does it run on batteries?
    It is designed as a portable instrument and runs on batteries, with the option of an external power supply for longer sessions.
    Is it polyphonic?
    No. It is monophonic, so it plays one note at a time, which suits bass lines, leads and sound effects.
    What is in the box?
    You get the Gen X-2 unit and its stylus. Check the listing for any cables or power supply included.
    Can I record it into a computer?
    Yes. Take the audio output into an interface or recorder, or use CV and gate with compatible gear.
