FAD GADGETS
Rhodri Marsden on three of the latest must-have gizmos currently putting the prog in progress.
STYLOPHONE BEAT
There are, without a doubt, more sophisticated ways of making beats than pressing a small metal pen onto a metal surface, particularly when the metal pen is tethered to the unit by means of a short white cable. But while the Stylophone
Beat could never claim to be state–of–the–art, it has a heart–warming connection to the culture of the 1970s, when its inspiration – the Stylophone – sold by the million. It doesn’t let you export beats, quantise them or change the sounds, but from limitation comes inspiration, didn’t you know? Also, it only costs 30 quid, so what are you complaining about?
