im really really really interested in making an experimental sort of, well ill say band but just interested in experimenting with a different instruments and how you can combine them with each other. how do you make this work? i have a gutitar amp and a stylophone. how do you do this?

[Adriannnnnnnn]

get a 1/8th to 1/4 inch cable (headphone size to guitar cable size, or just get one from some computer speakers and put an attachment on the end) and pug it in to your guitar amp.

is that all you wanted to know?

[chazzared]

What pedals are you using for these effects?

[Adriannnnnnnn]

the only pedal i'm actually using is an Akai Headrush II looper. the rest is just bending the stylophone notes and creating a natural chorus effect via multitracking

[chazzared]

Excuse me for being ignorant, but what is multi tracking? Do you record different notes into the akai one note at a time

[Adriannnnnnnn]

yeah pretty much

i recorded a pitch bend on the stylophone

then recorded the same thing over the top of it a few times

amazing. i personally use the sampletron vst plugin which includes the stylophone, but my favorite is the talentmaker and optigan samples. kudos on having the real deal!

I just got one for Christmas and put mine through some delays, chorus, pitched it down, put it through a bass amp and droned out! Surprisingly effective! Great sound you've got here.

[nathstanathsta]

yeah man cheers! :) i managed to add a tremelo, reverb and echo effects to it, was quite interesting.

thanks alot dude, rock on!

it sounds pretty cool if you turn ur amp on and then put the lead on the stylophone keyboard whilst ur playing a note with the stylus. you get a really grizzly sound but you get different notes by playing different notes.

i love this kind of thing! i must try it. very inventive - such ingenuity shows how we crawled out of the primeval gloop! top marks from me!

yeah cool man, was skipping thru those stylophone vids and i was thinking why don't they use some pedals on it and then i bounced on this, fuckin' wicked! Representing some nice oscillation simulation here! I dig ambient music, especially the darker side of the genre. thumbs up dude! More more more..
