So73 - Korg Monotron As Lead Synthesizer

I figured it was time someone made a little music with the Korg Monotron rather than just noise. This one is called the Monosong featuring the Korg Monotron as a lead synthesizer. It was improvised in one take.

The Monotron was fed into my Mini-KP to add delay & reverb. The backing track was created using my Korg Kaossilator for the first drum loop, the bassline, and the chord progression. The second drum loop was created using the Zoom MRT-3B Micro RhythmTrak filtered through the Monotron's MS-20 filter. The guitar is my Reverend Warhawk HB run direct into my Korg PX5D Pandora.

Video shot with my Digital Harinezumi 2++ in monochrome mode and edited in iMovie 6 HD.

Thanks for watching and listening!
