We hooked up the Korg monotron up to an iPhone, a keyboard and an electric guitar and put the pocket-sized analogue ribbon synth through its paces. Visit www.musicradar.com for more!

  • Robotron, Defender,Defender Stargate, Galaxian, sounds like Williams Electronic sounds of the 80's. Nice!

  • REVIVE SYNTHPOP

  • @gridsleep

    pmsl, you cant use this thing to any proper use without something to plug it into though!!! might as well have a laptop with you and have 1000 of them.

    that said I'm buying this, i like having things to hold and this just looks awsome :D

  • play that one open note

    

  • THIS IS AWESOME! im defo gonna use it for gcse <3 it!!

  • @ace101guy Check on eBay. There's a seller "miditoanalog" who offers to install two five pin DIN sockets in a Monotribe for $140, making it a full MIDI I/O device. You could play it with a full keyboard, and control it from a DAW, possibly sync it to an input source the sound of which the Monotribe is filtering. Don't know if a Monotron can handle the same treatment but it couldn't hurt to ask.

  • @UglyDiamondMusic How many free VSTs run on batteries and fit in your shirt pocket? What? You have to carry them inside a laptop that only has a couple of hours of battery life? You don't say. Not so "free" are they after all, eh? As in you are not "freed" from the necessity of carrying around armloads of computer gear, speakers and a MIDI keyboard. VSTs don't float in the air like fairy sprites and play themselves. Everything has its own peculiar cost.

  • Cool but at 50 quid, it's 50 quid more expensive than the plethora of free vsts you can get

  • @ace101guy Cant do that, must have Aux or Instrument cable input

  • How'd you connect it to your midi keyboard?
