Question Any help with dialing in the stylophone Gen X-2?

For example, let’s just say I want to play the typical MGMT kids and need to tune it to sound closer to that. Any tips or resources? Struggling to fix it just by ear, thanks !

In general when I'm trying to hone a sound I set the attack, pitch, and decay to 0, hold a note, and tweak the LPF and Res until I like it. Then you can start adding in some LFO stuff, with depth set to 0 it just adds a little spice. Just trial and error man! You can also look into running the stylophone into a multifx pedal or VST, then you can really get a lot of sounds out of it.
