The Stylophone S-1 is Dubreq's modern reissue of the 1968 pocket synth: a stylus you touch to a 20-pad metal keyboard, a single analog voice, and a built-in speaker. It runs on three AA batteries and fits in a jacket pocket, so it is a toy-like instrument you can carry anywhere. Its three-octave selector and vibrato give more range than the original, but it is monophonic and the stylus playing style is its own thing. It suits gadget fans, beginners and anyone after the retro buzz sound; players wanting chords or real keys should look at a small keyboard synth instead. Owners rate it highly for fun and character rather than musical depth.

Owners rate the Stylophone S-1 highly, mostly for the fun of the stylus and its unmistakable retro sound. They treat it as a gadget and a character instrument rather than a serious synth. Complaints center on the single voice and the fiddly stylus playing.
The Stylophone S-1 is a pocket-sized analog synthesizer from Dubreq. It is based on the original Stylophone first released in 1968 and has the same vintage analog sound. It has retro black and silver styling.
You play it with a stylus on a keyboard of 20 touch-sensitive "keys." A 3-octave selector and a vibrato effect change the sound. It has a built-in speaker with volume control, and an audio line out for headphones or an external speaker.
It is compact, portable and battery operated. It takes 3 AA batteries, which are not included.
