Korg needs more analogue synths

[sadporridge]

Is there a video of someone actually playing it, not just making it fart?

[ukshelf]

@nanzioboy It's not letting me link it, but go to musical instruments & type in boss knobs & it''ll take you right to it. Also, with these knobs, you'll only be able to use 3 of them because they are too large to fit 5 side by side on the monotron. That's what i've done. I'm sure there is a ton of other types of knobs as well, so hunt around. Hope this helps.

@starstruckstarfuck standalone synth

[nanzioboy]

@937emotion can you send me a link ?

[starstruckstarfuck]

can anyone tell me if this is a controller, or a stand alone synth ( eg MicroKORG where I can plug into an amp and play )

@mario64guy Assuming you continue to make new music, you can use it to help something sit better in a mix or even run the whole mix through it. I don't view it as an instrument so much. Although it can be that in the right context. I look at it more like I do a distortion pedal...A simple little box. That said, if you think outside the box, it will be useful to you. Example, I'll use a guitar dist & tweak the knobs live to be recorded. That gives you something you couldn't achieve otherwise.

@nanzioboy Cool. Let us know what you think of it. I put some BOSS ds1 knobs on mine( the kind you screw tight, the fixed ones WON'T fit), & it's much more fun to tweak that way. You can get a 10 pack on ebay for $10.
