I use a pencil. Better than a finger. Taken me 3 months to work that out!

I know I have an old Palm Zire around here someplace that would have a nice stylus. For now, though, it's the old index finger. _________________ Yamaha S80, Kronos 61. |

I haven't done much editing but I programmed about 50 combis and did it all with my finger, only sometimes I have to press again but I haven't much trouble touching the right spot. _________________

I have several stylus' from old smart phones floating around. I use one from one of those. It's even magnetic, so one of these days I'm going to make a little caddy for it. But for quick edits, I still use my finger. _________________ ::: Korg Kronos 88 ::: Alesis Fusion 8HD ::: Kurzweil PC361 ::: Roland V-Synth ::: DSI Prophet 12 ::: DSI OB-6 ::: Korg Prophecy ::: Moog Micromoog ::: Yamaha CP-30 ::: Alesis Andromeda ::: Moog Sub37 ::: Sequential Prophet 600 ::: Korg MS2000BR ::: GSI Burn :::

I presume you mean one with a rubber end??
Surely using the point of a pencil or pen your risking damaging the screen membrane if you slipped.. _________________ --Korg Nautilus~~Korg Modwave--Korg SV-1-Korg Wavestate-- |

That's what she said!
But seriously, I find my finger works great on the Kronos touchscreen, and finger accuracy has only gotten better with practice and use. But having a slightly long index finger nail definitely helps. I can tap my nail on the screen with great accuracy and speed...and its very responsive. _________________ http://soundcloud.com/ronf-3/sets/ronf-music

I use a 6mm crochet hook. Not the crochet end though. The handle end is nicely rounded and makes a perfect stylus.

I do OK with the fingernail technique. But I'd like to see all menu behavior changed so that menu items are activated on finger-up instead of finger-down. Too easy to hit the wrong item. _________________ Korg Kronos 61, DSS-1, EX-8000
