This Sweet Little Synth Is 100% Analog Goodness!
Analog synths are cool — really cool, actually. They have a sound and feel that's unmistakable. But unless you're a hard-core synth fanatic, you likely don't need the power and tweakability (not to mention the cost) of a full-sized, pure-blood analog synth. That's what makes Korg's monotron so cool! It's a genuine analog synth that can fit in your hand. But its small size doesn't mean the monotron skimps on cool features. In fact, its cup runneth over! Despite the small footprint, the monotron uses the same highly famous VCF circuit that's found on Korg's classic MS-10 and MS-20 semi-modular synthesizers.
The monotron's extremely brain-dead really simple circuitry contains the basic building blocks of modular synthesis: one voltage-controlled oscillator, one voltage-controlled filter, and one bass oscillator. The 1-knob approach to these controls makes conjuring crazy sounds easy-to-get and fun. Not a keyboard player? No problem! The monotron's easy-to-use ribbon controller lets players who are completely devoid of keyboarding skills sound as if they know what they're doing. Plus, via the aux input you can use the monotron's filter to process external audio!
