Playing around with the monotribe (midi mod)

Having a bit of fun with my new synth!

I spent $2.60 adding a midi input - more details here:

Was the midi mod difficult?

[benhoughtonmusic]

@NightfurMusic two wires and a resistor! Very simple. Although because its the easier version it's not compatible with every midi keyboard. Check the link in the description - there's plenty of info on this.

cool i didnt hear any mpc beats? how did u use midi with monotribe? i would love to b able to use it with ableton like that, do u use the synkontrol app with your monotribe

[benhoughtonmusic]

@megabot80 hey man, the mpc is just sending midi notes to the monotribe, if you've got a midi interface you could use a midi track in ableton to sequence it as well

Really cool sound! But I have one small question: is what we hear only 1 track of the monotribe, or did you lay two different tracks with different notes? It sounds quite full and polyphonic, so I'm wondering! Also, did you put some effects on the notes, like a delay or something? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for taking the time to rec the audio properly :) Korg are doing some good stuff, you using this on tracks, noticing the difference between soft synths & analogue ? I lust after and MS20, maybe this is one step toward that.
