Stylophone Launches On-The-Fly, a Screenless Performance Sequencer

Tuesday November 10th 2026

Yes, that Stylophone. Dubreq has released On-The-Fly, a performance sequencer built around the idea that nothing should stand between you and the sound.

There is no screen and no menu structure to dig through, just knobs and switches for shaping melodies and rhythms as you play.

You can add skips, rests, ties, slides, ratchets and a dose of controlled randomness to individual steps, and adjust tempo, swing and gate length while a pattern runs. Patterns can be chained and switched live, and the unit stores 24 sequence memories alongside a loop recorder for capturing performances. It first appeared as a preview at NAMM earlier this year.

Connectivity covers most setups: CV and gate in and out, MIDI and sync, plus individual gate outputs for each step and a summed gate output, which makes it a natural partner for drum modules and modular systems. It runs on six AA batteries or a 12V power supply, and it is on sale now at 149 pounds, 169 euros or 199 dollars.
