Description

Dual Oscillator Analog Pocket Synth - Korg's dual-oscillator Monotron DUO fits in your pocket, yet delivers enormous analog sound! Equipped with a built-in speaker and battery operation, Monotron DUO is ready - anytime, anyplace. Best of all, it's a blast to play, with a level of simplicity allowing anyone to enjoy the world of analog synthesizers. Product Block Copy Offering two oscillators, the monotron DUO adds an extra dimension of sound. Tune the oscillators in unison for a rich, thick, analog tone; in intervals for classic soloing sounds and generating new effects. The X-MOD (cross modulation) circuit taken from Korg's classic Mono/Poly can introduce a mild or razor- sharp edge to the overall sound. The monotron DUO's ribbon controller keyboard features a Scale function to select one of four scales: Chromatic, Major, Minor, or Off. Choose the Chromatic scale to play precise pitches as on a piano, or choose Major or Minor to generate musically coherent phrases on the keyboard.

  • Don't Be Fooled.
I bought this because it seemed fun to play with, and because I wanted to learn more about the very basic features of an analog synthesizer. It delivered on both accounts and then-some. The filter is great (featuring both cutoff and peak controls), and the dual use of the LFO (for the pitch and filter cutoff) allows for a wide variety of sounds. I love this thing. See following rant for details. Best features (so far): -Auxiliary input: based on the circuit layout, the aux input comes in after the VCO, so whatever sounds you put through it can be manipulated by the filter; moreover, the VCO can still produce sounds even if you have an external input (though the filter will apply to both of them). In practice, this means you can run a beat through it AND play a melody at the same time, and both will go to the same speaker. Or, you could hook-up a computer mic and filter your singing voice while playing a song. Pretty fun. -This damn thing produces surprisingly rich low-frequency tones. The internal speaker won't pick them up, but better speakers (or subs) will if you connect them to the head-phone port. I was playing with them for hours at work because I couldn't believe how rich they were. (FYI, drop the pitch, turn the cutoff down fairly low, crank the peak, and it produces some rich bass tones--mix with the LFO, and you have some nice bass lines and/or bass drum rhythms, depending on how high or low the interval of the LFO is set at when it is modulating the cutoff). -Many people have noted the quality of the filter, which is fair, because it is nice. However, the LFO is similarly versatile--just move it a bit more carefully and you'll fine that you can control much more of the modulation than it first appears. -*Update*: I thought the "click" sound that you hear when you place your finger on the ribbon to play a note was only avoidable by keeping one finger on it (just time it right when playing), but there is a way around it. If you have another unit (Monotron, Delay, or Duo), run the sound of one through the other, and the "click" is gone! I am sure there are other ways around it, but this is definitely one. Downside(s): -Like I said, it is kind of small, and I am worried that its plastic body may eventually break, but I suppose that just means I have to be somewhat careful. -The ribbon keyboard is fun for sliding around the scale, but it makes playing individual notes difficult--its small, and the boundaries between notes are not always spatially clear. -The internal speaker makes it seem cheaper than it really is--DON'T BE FOOLED! This synth produces richer and a wider range of sounds than its internal speaker lets on. ... show more

  • I Love how it sounds a little like a Theremin!
Style: Monotron Delay Analog Ribbon Synthesizer
The Korg monitron delay analog ribbon synthesizer is 100% totally amazingly awesome! I am a theremin player, and I set this synthesizer settings to sound very similar to a theremin. Of course you can set the settings to sound like a science fiction movie; I have done that too and it is really fun to play with. I don't consider this synthesizer a toy at all. I use the stylus pen when I play it and there are many, many beautiful notes that resonate out of this incredible ribbon synthesizer. The speaker is pretty loud, and the knobs are of good quality: They turn easily, and very smooth. I can see the batteries lasting a very long time, and I really intend I'm writing some beautiful music with this amazing ribbon synthesizer. The plastic quality is very good, and very strong. I absolutely love my Korg monitron delay analog ribbon synthesizer! ... show more

  • Works great!
Style: Monotron Delay Analog Ribbon Synthesizer
pretty amazed at what you get for the price. i run offgrid jam sessions so anything that runs on batteries is a big plus. sounds decent too. wide freq. range. cool delay. loads of fun. we got my 90 year old dad jamming on it with our trio making weird improv jazz.

  • Korg MONOTRON 16-key Synthesizer
Listening to albums from the 70s and early 80s, I used to hear analog synths by Korg and Moog on albums. By the time the 90s came around, I gained a new awareness of these beautiful dinosaurs, through ambient records, and taking another listen to old Pink Floyd albums. Of course, when I decided, "I'd like to have this sound", I would price these synthesizers. They were used and WAY too expensive! Through digital modeling technology, new models sporting similar tone and control to analog synths was available, but STILL not the same. Which brings me to the KORG MONOTRON! What you have seen is what you get! A true analog synthesizer for around 50 bucks! I got my MONOTRON in the mail, and opened the package. I dug through the box, and though, "were is it?!" I found it, and my first impression was "THIS IS small!". It fits in the palm of my hand. Yeah, I have big hands, sort of. But, it is about 1/3 smaller than the STYLOPHONE. (As you can tell, I am getting the negative out of the way first), the volume is much lower than a STYLOPHONE too. The battery cover is feeble, and it sports 2 AAA batteries. The housing is a thin plastic. The ribbon keyboard is not too hard to control, however it could be easier. it is sort of inconsistent. Hold one finger down on a note, then press another note. Now, use one finger on the same note, then use that same finger and press the same note as before, you will hear DIFFERENT notes. Of course, some see/hear imperfections as endearing qualities! The input and output 1/4" jacks are too close together, which makes it hard to use both at the same time, especially if you have to adapt a guitar cable down. (Now the GOOD STUFF!) What you have in the MONOTRON is the 3 basic building blocks of a synth. A VCO (voltage controlled oscillator), a VCF (lowpass voltarve controlled filter) and an LFO (low frequency oscillator) to modulate the VCF. The LFO modulates either the pitch or the cutoff of the filter. Those classic synthtones....BABY! The pitch control covers a wide spectrum of tones. Those down and dirty lows to the higher lead synth tones, you have them all at your fingertips! Using the Cutoff of the VCF and the rate of the LFO, you can create a pulsating, beat, or a synth drum sound! Set the cutoff at 10:00 and the peak (resonance) all the way up, the pitch and rate low, and you will have that BZZZZZ sound similar to what is hear in the beginning of Rush's Tom Sawyer! ;-) Plug any instument, a guitar, a stylophone, a drum machine into the VCF and filtar anything but the kitchen sink! So,the proverbial bottom line is, you can now get a REAL ANALOG synth at an affordable price! The circuit benders and hardware hackers will love voiding their warranties, since the circuit board is actually labeled! And the schematic drawing is available to the public! How will I hack mine? Well, eventually, I plan to build mine in to a bigger box, spread the controls apart into a comfortable layout, and hook up a REAL keyboard with fullsize keys! And, create a patchbay for the VCF and LFO out and replace the tiny jacks with more practical 1/4" jacks! ... show more
