"The Stylophone is a miniature stylus-operated synthesizer invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It was 1st produced in 1968. Rock star David Bowie used a Stylophone in his recordings, "Space Oddity" and "Slip Away." (Wikipedia has a good description of it)
This is one of the 1st models. It comes with its original box, songbook made specifically for it (dated 1968), and the working stylus. It uses a 9-volt battery. It is in good condition for its age. It is missing its battery cover but does not affect its performance."
"StudioBLADE™ keyboard production stations represent a giant leap in music production technology. They are simply the most powerful, compact and affordable keyboard production stations available today.
What is a Keyboard Production Station? Keyboard production stations can be loosely defined as keyboard workstations that are connected to a computer, which is needed to provide additional processing power and features. While keyboard workstations are suited for live performance and sketching out ideas for a song, keyboard production stations, with built in high-power computer cores, allow users to go from composition to recording to mixing and finally mastering of songs that are ready for radio or direct Internet distribution.
More Power: StudioBLADEs are powered by high-performance computer cores utilizing Intel® processors that are perfect for today's demanding musicians and the virtual instruments and software applications they use. Running Windows® 7 (64-bit), StudioBLADEs are extremely versatile, powerful and perpetually upgradeable. Base models equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors can be easily upgraded to the latest Intel® Core™ i5 processors for even more performance.

Base models equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors can be easily upgraded to the latest Intel® Core™ i5 processors for even more performance.
StudioBLADEs are available in 61-key and an 88-key versions, perfect for live or studio use. The waterfall keys are velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted action, and are professional in feel and ultra roadworthy. Pitch and Mod wheels as well as octave up and down buttons with indicators are included and after touch capabilities complete the playing experience.
See More Clearly: StudioBLADEs are equipped with a built-in telescoping and tiling 10.1" touch screen that adjusts to your desired viewing angle, making it extremely ergonomic to use. StudioBLADEs also provide two (2) additional external video ports so the user can run up to three (3) monitors simultaneously in cloned or extended desktop mode.
Controls with Feedback: Built into each StudioBLADE are Music Computing's ControlDAW™ midi controller and GeoMIDI™ midi mapping software. ControlDaw presents the user with four (4) banks of eight (8) plus one (1) master channel strips each with three (3) mappable encoders with LED indicator light rings, one (1) knobs for panning, solo and mute buttons and a high-quality fader. An 8X8 grid of lighted pads (64 total) is also provided that can be used as drum trigger pads, a Monome (with appropriate software) or as a trigger pad for sequences, etc. Controls for note-repeat enabled software and transport buttons are included as well as real-time feedback between the controllers and software making ControlDAW the ultimate midi controller for music production.
Hear the Difference: The standard configuration for StudioBLADEs include a 24bit-48 kHz audio I/O with two (2) combo XLR & ¼" mic/instrument 48V phantom power inputs, two (2) balanced outputs and a stereo headphone jack. The optional upgrade gives you a 24bit-96 kHz audio I/O with two (2) combo XLR & ¼" mic/instrument 48V phantom power inputs, six (6) ¼" balanced inputs (line-level), two balanced outputs and a stereo headphone jack. StudioBLADEs also offer Firewire ports in the event outboard audio I/O or other Firewire devices are needed.
Thousands of Sounds: Music Computing's SonicSource™ is a robust VSTi synth containing over 8GB of sound presets that is included with each StudioBLADE, ready to use right out of the box. Additional sound presets will be made available on a regular basis from Music Computing, enabling the user to compose with even more creativity.
Ground-Breaking Price: In the past, keyboard production stations or keyboard workstations outfitted with external computers were relatively expensive, leaving the average person to only dream about owning one. Well-equipped StudioBLADEs start at only $2,599, making them an affordable tool virtually any musician can afford.
"A demonstration of the Cyclick FreeMoog in action. This is a snippet of a 12 minute recording session I did a week ago."
"This is the Cyclick FreeMoog synth, a VST plugin that is useful for making electronic, industrial, and noise music. I use the SaviHost program to run the plugin. Not shown is the Mod Panel, which contains a Matrix Modulation, LFO, FX, CV Sequencer and an Arpeggiator."
"The Waldorf PPG 3.V is the reincarnation of the PPG Wave Synthesizer which was originally developed by Wolfgang Palm, who is also the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis. Wolfgang Palm was brought back on board to assist in the development process of PPG 3.V. Included in this demonstration of the Release Version 1.0 are some of Mr. Palms favorite patches from Jay de Miceli's factory bank (019 Eternally Resistant, 023 H A A R P E D).
All Sounds in the Stubenhocker demonstration are from JdM's (Jay de Miceli) factory content, utilizing the PPG's Multi Mode. The composition was completed without the use of an external sequencer, using only a combination of the Arpeggiator and the SEMITONE-KEY mode, along with some careful modulation routing to improvise a nifty sequencer. The finished sound is achieved by using only the on board effects and EQ. In fact the only thing that was not from Waldorf was use of the Allen and Heath Zone 92 filter and a bit of compression. The whole piece uses 8 voices with a modest CPU hit of no more than 4% of an Intel i7.
Jay de Miceli's factory bank includes his one of a kind Vinyl Attack drum sounds which he uses beautifully in Stubenhocker, showcasing the ability to achieve club ready drums and percussion with the PPG 3.V right out of the box."
"Just Playing around with this Free app called Little Midi Machine, Line 6 midi Mobilizer, iPad and Novation Nova. This app is a Sequencer and doesn't play any sound, it just sequences notes. Feel free to skip around this long ass video. Peace."
"@BeatMakerTV - Reforge iPad App Demo (More Features than Shown) Check it out. It's worth the money. Very Useful App if you know what your doing. Especially the Stereo Split feature specially Requested by ME! Closest thing to Soundforge on the iOS. The Developer @ibeatmaker listens to his customers and makes reasonable requests reality."
