Stylophone unveils new performance sequencer
The On-The-Fly Performance Sequencer aims to provide a distraction-free music creation experience with its screenless interface.
Stylophone has introduced its On-The-Fly (OTF) Performance Sequencer, a new portable device designed for immediate, hands-on music making. This battery-powered sequencer emphasizes an interface free of screens and menus, intended for players to interact directly rather than just programming.
The OTF sequencer allows for real-time adjustments to pitch, rhythm, and playing style while a sequence is running. It can expand eight-step patterns into sequences of 16, 32, or 64 steps, and features eight switchable pattern chains for live performance.
The new unit joins Stylophone's Pro range alongside the DS-2 and CPM DF-8, and is the first product in their new Music Lab series. It offers comprehensive connectivity, including full Eurorack CV, Gate, Sync, and MIDI capabilities. Stylophone CEO John Simpson stated that the OTF transforms sequencing into an instrument, removing barriers between ideas and sound.
This release follows other Stylophone products from the current year, including the pocket-sized VOICE sampler and a MINI Keychain edition of their flagship synth. The On-The-Fly Performance Sequencer is available for purchase at a price point of £149, €169, or $199.
