  Very good review as usual Nick! Always been interested in an accelerator system but was a little surprised by the MRRP. I guess these are a little high end for my needs. There is stiff competition (for MY needs) from something like the Receptor. Still - one can always file this away as a lottery ...

Great review as always Nick! Makes me want to splash out on an iPad2 and Dock :)

I think they missed a beat though - HDMI out, usbmidi hookup for things like the Akai MPK mini/korg nanokeys etc. Might wait until version 2 :)

  Two ways of using the hidden MIDI in functonality on monotribe

  Two ways:

  1) As a TB-ish synth.

  2) Creating instruments on the fly by sending new automation data for each new note.
