Korg MONOTRONDLY 0-Key Analog Synthesizer

So small but so much fun, the sound is thick and its fun to play around with the knobs once u connect it to a speaker it sounds even better. You can also connect any instrument to it with an aux cable which is awesome.

I'm absolutely shocked by the incredible amount of different sounds I can get out of this little rock star.. Hol-lee crap.. Drones, washes, dub, FX, metallic, rhythmic, percussive. It's a toy but you put this in to the hands of someone who knows synths and I promise you'll be shocked at what comes out. I think the issue here is there are a lot of people who have never heard cheap analog equipment and don't appreciate the character it imparts. This thing is noisy as hell, it's always making some sort of hiss or drone, especially when you put the delay on thick. The delay is cheap but in the most amazing way, it just mangles the hell out of everything and it is constantly losing top end so you can keep piling more on. The LFO doesn't act predictably and when its in use you can't always know what kind of pitch it's going to make but it's brilliant! This is the simplest synth I have ever used. To be honest I thought I'd get bored of it quickly, but I find myself spending hours playing with it. You get 3 things to affect, LFO, Cut off & Delay, I'm shocked just how much I can get just by doing some knob tweaking. Some things to keep in mind. - Don't think you're going to play melodies, it's a ribbon controller, they work best for sliding notes and droning sounds (think 50's scifi). - It's noisy and might not be suited for most musical styles. I can very easily see it being used for industrial, metal, dubstep, techo, electro, psychedelic, experimental & abstract - The delay is the key part, crank the time and feedback all the way up hit some notes. Now play around with the time and the cutoff knobs.. it gets really crazy. - If you want to use it in a song you'll want to sample it. My advice hit record in your audio recording program play around with it for 10-15 mins and then chop out the stuff you like for samples. I can't wait to pull this thing open and see what I can hook some pan pots (knobs) to. This thing is just begging to be modded.

Died after less than 6 months with only a handful of uses.

J’adore ce petit instrument. Très ludique, exploration facile de sonorité. Si on ne cherche pas un astrolab ( Arturia) mais juste un petit outil pour s’amuser et glisser des effets sonores dans une bande son ou un morceau c’est ce qu’il faut.

Tengo muchos juguetitos musicales, pero éste siempre será mi favorito. Lo uso principalmente conectado a un Circuit Tracks a una entrada midi.

Comprei para minha namorada como um mimo de aniversário e ela adorou. Unica reclamação é que o preço poderia ser um pouco mais em conta, mas aí é culpa do dólar.
