RRP: £29.95

Many readers will have fond memories of the stylophone. Building on the classic stylus-led approach to music, the Stylophone BEAT is now available for a modest price, with the functionality of a drum machine and bass-line generator. You can mix and match four different drum-kits with four bass sounds. The banks of sounds are Rok, Techno, Hip-hop and Beatbox, which give you a rough idea of what to expect! You play the Stylophone BEAT by tapping and sliding the connected stylus on the touch-sensitive, circular beat pad. Each segment on the surface plays a different drum or bass sound, and additional features include an automatic tempo lock, the ability to record multiple layers and sounds, and the option to add variety by muting individual sounds.
