Over 40 years old, the Stylophone pocket synthesizer made popular by David Bowie (Space Oddity) is now available in VSTi.
The Stylophone is a monophonic synthesizer with one sound only, with the option to add vibrato enhancement. The Stylophone VSTi has a sample based oscillator using samples recorded from an original Stylophone, not the modern reproduction model. All samples were recorded using a high quality microphone from the Stylophone speaker output for the most accurate sounding emulation.

Vry good, very nice

I achieved a nice effect by using two of these and hard panning them with vibrato enabled on only one of the two. People hating on this one inspired me to try it and it not bad for what it is! Solid 3

Thanks :)
I was a small child when the original stylophones came out - and they were HORRIBLE... why would anyone in this day and age want that nasty sound? it made a terrible nasty noise, which sometimes makes the wonderful "Space Oddity" hard to listen to. Bowie didn't learn his lesson and used it on "After All" on "Man Who Sold The World" album, after which he came to his senses and never used the nasty POC again.
I disagree, anything Bowie put his hand to was pure genius....
The special thing of this instrument is not the sound, but the slide effect with the pen. However, I myself imitate the Stylophone with a "TAL-Bassline"-VST and a step-by-step input of notes via my DAW. This way I can then vary the sound as much as I want.

"All samples were recorded using a high quality microphone from the Stylophone speaker output for the most accurate sounding emulation." ONE DOES NOT MIC A SPEAKER WHILE CREATING A PLUGIN! This plug in is a P.O.S. to the nth degree!
I Agree!! The speaker on the stylophone units are terrible. horrible instrument.. should be outlawed.
