Video: Free Stylophone sample plugin (StyloPoly)

StyloPoly is a free sample library for Decent Sampler featuring the Dubreq Stylophone S-1 with some added features. All the sounds in the video are from a single instance of the plugin.

User Interface: The user interface offers precise control over every aspect of the instrument and effects. Explore parameters to refine your sound, including control over the audio mixer, envelope, pitch modulation with LFOs, high pass and low pass filters, velocity/dynamics, speaker simulator and the immersive effects of echo and reverb.

Keyboard - Mono / Poly: Plays only one note at the time, like the original Stylophone or multiple notes at the time.

Keyboard - Static / Dynamic: Determines whether the velocity should affect the volume of the samples.

Envelope: Shape your sound precisely with the Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release parameters. Whether you desire a punchy, staccato tone or a smooth, lingering ambiance, the ADSR envelope allows you to tailor the dynamics to your liking.

Mixer: The original Stylophone only lets you select one voice at a time, but with StyloPoly you can blend between all the three voices at the same time.

Noise - Attack: Pops and crackles when the stylus hits the "keyboard".

Noise - Release: Pops and crackles when the stylus releases from the "keyboard".

Vibrato: The depth and rate knobs enable you to modulate the pitch of the sound with the desired depth and rate using a Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO). With both controls in middle position you have approximately the same vibrato as the original Stylophone.

Output - Line out / Speaker: Choose between the direct sound of the line output or the sound of the internal speaker miced with a Shure SM57.

High Pass Filter and Low Pass Filter: StyloPoly has a high pass filter and a low pass filter. The high pass filter ranges from 20 Hz to 2000 Hz and the low pass filter ranges from 200 Hz to 22000 Hz.

Effects: The echo effect employs a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo recorded twice for stereo, while the reverb effect draws from a Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978 reverb pedal with a room setting.

Echo: Select from two distinctive echo options: the short echo, delivering a classic slapback effect, and the long echo, characterized by a slower decay and numerous repeats.

Reverb: You'll also find two reverb effects: the short reverb, evoking the intimacy of a small room, and the long reverb, enveloping your sound in the vastness of a spacious environment.

Preset: Some presets are true to the original Stylophone and some presets take advantage of the additional features of StyloPoly. The presets only affects the controls already available from the GUI. They are not meant to sound like a real piano, harpsichord, clavinet, etc. The preset names are more of a way to describe the timbre.
