Posted in Audio, DIY, Effects, Gear, Innovation, Music, Video | 1 Comment Korg Monotron (Possibly Hackable) SynthTony WallaceApril 3, 2010Last week Korg announced the Monotron, a pocket-size analog synth with a single oscillator, filter, LFO and ribbon controller. The Monotron looks a lot like the popular-among-hackers Gakken SX-150, and will hopefully offer similar opportunities for customization. At the very least, the external audio input and $85 price will make it an inexpensive way to add an LFO-modulated filter to your arsenal.
Product Highlights:
- Full-fledged, true analog synthesizer: VCO, VCF, LFO
- Inspiring, easy-to-play ribbon keyboard
- Intuitive, fun-to-tweak controls
- Features the same classic analog filter found in the legendary Korg MS-10 & MS-20
- Filter any external source using the audio input jack
- LFO can modulate either pitch of filter cutoff
- LFO Rate knob features cool LED visual indicator
- Battery operation and palmtop size equals true portability
- Internal speaker/headphone jack lets you enjoy the sound anywhere – alone or with friends!
