Description

A good delay was an essential part of the classic analog synthesizer sound. More often than not, that delay came from a tape-style echo machine until affordable digital delays were created. The monotron delay is an analog synthesizer optimized for sound effects. In addition to its analog oscillator, filter, and LFO, it also provides a space delay that's indispensable for swooping, cosmic sounds. The monotron delay even reproduces the pitch changes that occur when you vary The delay time, just as though you were using an analog tape echo. This fat and warm delay will add an authentic edge to your analog sounds! Wide-range ribbon keyboard The monotron Delay's ribbon controller keyboard features a wide, four-octave range. This design allows the pitch to be controlled even more aggressively and dynamically, making the monotron delay a great weapon for a DJ to get the floor moving with irresistible sound. The reversed white keys and body adornments glows under black light illumination, making the monotron delay ideal for delivering a striking visual impact in nearly any club environment. Features: space delay with rate and intensity controls offers analog-style echoes new pitch LFO with selectable waveshape and intensity and shape controls vcf with cutoff control wide-range ribbon controller keyboard original analog (vcf) filter taken from the classic ms-10 & ms-20 aux input jack lets you apply filter to any audio source built-in speaker and battery power for go anywhere analog sound headphone jack for private use.

  • Korg Monotron
Style: Monotron Delay Analog Ribbon Synthesizer
Put on the headphones and generate some pretty cool sounds. Lots of fun to experiment. Will get a full sized synth some day.

  • Cute little thing...
Style: Monotron Duo Analog Ribbon Synthesizer
I like the sounds it can produce. I gave it only 4 stars because the headphone output is OK to actual phones but very low when instead connecting to my mixer...whether wired or via a wireless instrument feed.

  • Fun- but pricey.
My first thought on opening the box from Amazon was "this thing is even smaller than I thought." It's tiny, all right- I keep mine in a case designed for a pocket-sized camera. And yet, it has all the functionality of a 1960s era one-VCO synth, something that would have cost you the equivalent of several thousand dollars back then. It's all you'd ever need to compose soundtracks for Sci-Fi films of the pre-Star Wars era. In short, it's very flexible, and a heck of a lot of fun. It does, however, have a few drawbacks. The description says it's a "16 key" synth, whereas it's really a zero-key machine. There are no keys- just a ribbon controller with a keyboard printed on it. Out of the box, playing an octave on mine yielded a major 9th, but some careful tweaking with a small screwdriver fixed this- there's a tiny pot accessible on the rear for this very purpose. Even with the "keyboard" adjusted, it's difficult to hit the note you want, though this becomes a little easier with practice. You're not limited to the ribbon controller for signals. There's an AUX input that allows you to bypass the "keyboard" and run your own signals through the VCF. I've been having fun feeding the output of my iPod through it, running various sound producing apps. I tried to feed the direct output of an electric guitar through it, but I think it needs a more gain to do that. If I had a few more 1/4" to mini stereo adapters I'd use my old Audio Buddy to step up the gain a bit and try again. One cautionary note regarding use of the headphone jack: Even though the Monotron is a monophonic device, Korg warns you not to use mono 1/8" plugs- you must use the stereo plugs. I'm not sure if this is to avoid damage or simply to make the unit perform properly, but I'm not taking any chances. The biggest drawback is the price. At $60, it's not cheap. For about a tenth that cost you can buy Moog's own "Filtatron" app for the iPhone/iPod/iPad that does everything the Monotron does and then some. If you've got one of those devices, I'd recommend you go with the app. But if you find yourself with $60 burning a hole in your pocket and the need to own a pocket-sized synth, there's nothing else even close on the market. (And if you happen to own a Korg Kaossilator , I'm told that this is a great add-on.) Update: Korg is currently offering a $20 rebate on this box, which brings the price down significantly. I suspect this will only last until the currnt stock is exhausted, as there are two new Monotrons out- one with echo, and one with dual VCOs. ... show more

  • Neat little gadget
Style: Monotron Delay Analog Ribbon Synthesizer
Pretty cool little gadget, however my 6 year old daughter wasn't impressed at all. So I wouldn't advise buying for younger kids, I wouldn't buy for anyone that didn't show a clear interest in sound design. That being said, I bought this for myself just cause something about it fascinated me. Perhaps the size or portability drew me in. But after many month with this device I can say don't expect this to be a compositional tool for building songs. It's more of a novelty item I suppose. While it can produce some neat & trippy sounds, then only actual practical use for this gadget in terms of production is hooking it up in an effects chain on some other sound generator. Even though this costs much less than the korg volcas, I still can't help but feel like it's still a bit over-priced since basically everything it can do is limited in one way or another. I can't imagine this thing costing more than $3 or $4 to manufacture per unit. For a ~$50 price point it really should come with a few extra features, or actually be playable in an arrangement. If nothing else it should have some type of usb connection for some computer or tablet integration. But since that isn't the case, & this is what we get take it or leave it, I feel strongly that this should retail for about $20, or no more than $30. When I made this purchase I already considered a 75% chance that I would feel this way after buying, so with that in mind & my expectations at a reasonable & logical level towards this gadget I don't feel to bitter about feeling this purchase. I still hope for a day when this thing will be a perfect unexpected answer for part of a jam that I'm working on one day, but until that day it's rather cemented as a neat novelty. Hope this helps someone else out there. ... show more
