FAQs
Does the Stylophone Gen X-2 save my sound settings?
No, this is an analog synthesizer. Sound settings must be manually adjusted each time you want to recreate a specific patch.
Can I connect this to my computer?
Yes, you can connect the line output to your computer's audio interface to record the analog signal into your DAW.
Is the stylus replaceable?
The stylus is a permanent part of the instrument. Handle with care to ensure the cable remains intact.

Does it work with standard Eurorack gear?
Yes, its modular connectivity is designed to work with various external modular setups, though ensure voltage levels are compatible.
Troubleshooting
No sound output from the speaker
Check that the volume knob is turned up and ensure no cables are plugged into the headphone jack, which may mute the built-in speaker.
Erratic pitch or sound triggering
Ensure the stylus metal surface is clean and free of skin oils or residue. A light wipe with a clean microfiber cloth usually solves tracking issues.
Signal noise when connected to external gear
Verify that your audio cables are properly shielded and check that your gain staging is appropriate for the input sensitivity of your mixer or interface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Gen X-2, ensure the power source is correctly connected or fresh batteries are installed. Connect your headphones or external amplifier using a 3.5mm jack to the appropriate output ports. When integrating with modular gear, use standard patch cables to connect the outputs to your modular input modules. To maintain the device, keep the stylus surface clean of dust and debris, as these can interfere with touch sensitivity. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the casing; a soft, dry cloth is sufficient to keep the unit in optimal condition.
