First launched in 1968, the original\u00a0Stylophone\u00a0synthesizer became an iconic instrument following its use by artists such as David Bowie, Kraftwerk, Blondie, The White Stripes, and Pulp (Jarvis Cocker and Candida Doyle).<\/p>\n
Now, the company has launched a pocket-sized, fully playable homage to the instrument in the form of the Stylophone Mini, which is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or onto a keychain.<\/p>\n
It features a miniature metal keyboard, functional stylus, and integrated speaker, and its simple, hands-on design makes it easy to pick up and play wherever inspiration grabs you.<\/p>\n
Essentially analogue in style, the Mini does not require any cables, apps, or additional equipment, making it easy to engage with in spare moments.<\/p>\n
“Stylophone is an iconic brand and we wanted to create something that allowed fast, easy creativity and also showcase a beloved synth,” says\u00a0John Simpson, CEO of Stylophone. “In the age of AI, we wanted to make something simple, fun and real.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First launched in 1968, the original\u00a0Stylophone\u00a0synthesizer became an iconic instrument following its use by artists such as David…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629764,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-629763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629763\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
