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.

  • holy cow this is addictive - easy to play, versatile, good value & sounds amazing
I never owned an analog synth before -have played with a couple & have a few such apps for iPad & iPhone - but something about the physical / tactile controls + ribbon, the simple design (enough controls to make it flexible & interesting w/o being overwhelming or non-intuitive) and the super portable handheld format makes this totally better than anything I've tried. I put on some headphones and played with this thing for hours, and can't see myself getting bored with it. The ribbon controller is pretty neat for making all sorts of slidy noises and in quantized mode for playing riffs, I may google how to hack in a CV or a MIDI input so I can control it with a larger keyboard or control the various knobs with an expression pedal or Arduino. But everything is laid out pretty nicely that I can tweak knobs while playing and it isn't too difficult. I think I'll be expanding this with the Monotron Delay and others before long, and experimenting with plugging other instruments into the input (a rad feature btw - it basically doubles as an effect pedal!). Well done Korg, you have won a new satisfied customer. ... show more

  • AWESOME!
I love everything about this synthesizer. Im known as the one who carries his synth everywhere he goes and its a really great device. As a single instrument you can make some really good sound effects. However it doesnt have enough on it to create a excision or skrillex sound but definetly something like deadmau5 or Mord Fustang is achievable on this. The fact it isnt a midi is something that not everyone likes but i actually prefer to have it with the aux jacks because im an on budget person and have some mild Daw's and Music creator 6 cant really make a electro or dubstep beat. You can run a song through it and play sounds over it and that feature is pretty cool. you can also find some pretty good combo's on this thing and its interesting every time you turn a knob. ALSO get a headphone splitter if you plan to record the sounds because once you plug it into your microphone jack you can hear hat your playing, this way you can hear and record it. Belkin Speaker and Headphone Splitter Overall a really great buy for the beginner and maybe even a professional who would like something to carry around and make sounds on. Really Fun, Very Portable, Great Device Korg! ... show more

  • Is it a toy? An instrument? A proving ground?
It's kind of a toy, but also kind of a proof-of-concept for Korg. The Monotron duo is awesome. It's about the size of an old audio cassette case. The knobs are responsive, but a little wobbly. The ribbon is great - very responsive, and it's easy to use. You can make some fun and funky sounds with this. There's a little button on the left shoulder of the unit that selects between continuous and several quantized modes. The two oscillators are controlled with a pitch knob (labeled VCO1), and the second oscillator is tuned relative to VCO1 with the VCO2 knob. This actually caused great frustration for me, because they were not perfectly in-tune on my unit when the VCO2 knob was straight up and down - it had to be a little bit to the left. This no doubt has to do with the analog circuitry and cheapness of the product, but the imperfection was annoying enough that I sent it back. The VCF sounds fantastic, and the cross modulation knob adds a lot of character to the sound. For those who have seen the original Monotron, you'll notice that there's no LFO on this unit. You're trading the LFO for the second oscillator and the quantization button. The result is a much more musical machine, but the tradeoff is real. You also get an aux in jack, which allows you to run external audio through the excellent filter. I said this was a "proof-of-concept," and it is - where the concept is, "A ridiculously affordable and fun analog synth that proves people want analog synthesizers, so Korg can go on to make tons more at other price points with different features." It *seems* like this device made other instruments, like the Volca series and the Minilogue, possible. And for that, I am tremendously grateful. And I really like this product. But having returned the unit I purchased, I would not buy another since I purchased the Volca Keys instead. The bottom line is that if you can afford this unit or the Volca Keys, you want the Volca Keys. But this is an excellent toy and a surprisingly fun instrument, if seriously limited in application. ... show more

  • Careful... It's a gateway drug
I bought this tiny analog synth out of curiosity. I wanted to see what they hype was all about. While it looks (and feels) like more of a toy, this thing can generate some big sound. It was also a learning experience to understand some basics of Synthesis: it has two Voltage controlled Oscillators and a Voltage controlled Filter. The ribbon keyboard is almost useless; it works, technically, but its size makes it not very accurate. It's fun. I may pursue some modifications which would allow me to connect it to external gear for the purpose of controlling it with CV. There are instructions you can find online to do it if you're brave. Since getting this, I've dived into the world of modular synthesis. For this reason, you may wish to consider NOT buying this. :) ... show more
