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?

HELL yea! Looks better than the Gakken.

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!

Maybe Korg will surprise us and release it early (insert wishful thinking here).

♥♥♥ 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.

Americans love anything cheap no matter how crappy it actually is.

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