KORG MONOTRON
DELAY & DUO
Japan 2012
The hippest smallest cheapest synths selling like hotcakes all
over the planet. You can get these at the supermarket and
gasstation next to the windowcleaner and M&M's probably by
now.
The original monotron was pretty useless as a synthesizer you
could only play horrible out of tune bleeps and filter those, but
it made a nice lo-fi filterbox to put an audio
signal through (A Yamaha DX100 through a monotron is pure beauty!)
The Monotron Delay is kinda of the same affair but with a very
cool dirty analog delay build in. So what we have here is a
supercool analog filter + analog delay in one box
for next to nothing. Some people are complaining about the noisy
soundquality but those dumb foolz dont understand that noise is
the essence of deeper sounds. The carrier of
our souls and dimensional time transmissions, the spectrum of our
unseen universe and lots more.
The Monotron DUO seems like the first monotron you can actually
play a melody on, its little keyboard is actually in pitch with
normal conventional scales...
Its got key scale settings on the back to change to chromatic and
pentatonic scales and some more.
Its called DUO cause it has 2 oscs you can detune so you can play
intervals. Nice eerie mysterious sounds can be made with this
little box. Listen
to some sounds:
