Korg Monotron - Analog Ribbon Synth

Post by MannequinRaces »

The Korg Monotron (analog ribbon synth) was introduced in Frankfurt at Musikmesse. It looks like it would be pretty fun! I little limited but still looks like a blast! What do you guys think? :idk:

HELL yea! Looks better than the Gakken.

$67 is a really fair price also!

Sure does. I like the fact that it's not a kit. The ribbon controller also looks better then the Gakken's pen type electrode slide controller.

this sounds like a most excellent deal! I'm definitely gonna have to pick one up, especially for that price.

I don't think they're scheduled to come out until August so waiting will be the hard part!

i generally :love: ♥♥♥ LOVE ♥♥♥ :love: KORG stuff but lately they've been putting out stuff that's either left me nonplussed or unenthused. that Electribe Ipad thing also looks mega-lame.

For $67, that's pretty awesome. Would work wonders in a looper for some long synth drones.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

I have my limits. I think this looks like a winner for Korg but only time will tell.
