Otamatone

Post by Nick »

Just wondering has anyone here tried one? Seems to essentially be a stylophone with a ribbon synth instead of a keyboard wrapped in a gimmicky Japanese novelty toy.

Posted that one for the lulz, the other videos are better demonstrations of the sonds.

I've been playing that melody they play at 1:59 all day on my guitar. It's so fun.
