‘The Man With The Synth’ offers his take on the Stylophone S2 analog synthesizer:
This is the first part of a review of the new Stylophone S2 from Dubreq. This is a pre-release version and as I was told the only difference between this and the final product is the updated firmware.
Sorry but………..Volca.
Yup, Korg may have just killed the new Stylophone…..
yikes, I just saw in the other post that it’s nearly $500 for this little guy. hopefully it’s a labor of love, because as a business, I honestly feel kinda bad for these guys. it looks like a lot of effort was put into their product, but timing is always so critical and there’s a lot of strong competition out there in that price range, more than ever…
Id rather have this S2 over two and a half Volcas. The basic sound quality is much much higher. The LFO power alone kills the volcas dead. Id still love this AND all three Volcas though if only I had the dough!!
S2 was dead before going out. Remember: 450 euros. You can buy the 3 volca’s for that price.
S2 costs 350€. Its actually sameish value feature wise with those little Korgs, but more playable ribbon and far, FAAAAR better build quality.
I don’t know. At least with the volcas you can plug large midi controllers into them, and if they have a similar build quality to the Monotribe, it’s actually quite decent. I was very attracted to the S2 until I considered the price. For that amount I’d rather have a Minibrute.
