Product Description

Product Description

Go Anywhere Analog: That was the theme behind the remarkable battery-powered and palm-sized analog synthesizer that Korg dubbed the monotron. Now the powerful and fun-to-play monotron is joined by the Dual Oscillator monotron DUO offering X-MOD capabilities for generating even more extreme sounds. Played from a ribbon controller keyboard with newly added features, the monotron’s simple operation and ease of use (5 knobs and 1 switch) is alive and well, inviting hours of enjoyment and musical exploration. Casual users and gadget mavens will quickly enjoy performing melodies, DJs can create dazzling effects on stage, while established players can add analog muscle to their performance the possibilities are virtually unlimited. Grab yourself a monotron, monotron DUO, or monotron DELAY, and get in touch with the exciting world of analog synths.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm... 15 Mar 2012

I already have the original Monotron and the Monotron Delay, so I thought I'd make it the full trio.

It's nice to have that second oscillator, but I do miss having the LFO on the original Monotron which could at a push be used as a basic filter envelope.

It's certainly a lot easier to play melodies with the additional pitch quantizing modes on the ribbon controller. The cross-modulation according to the block diagram in the manual suggests that it is in fact frequency modulation (I'm sure the cross-modulation on the Mono/Poly had a bit more to it than that but I could be wrong.)

Still, not bad for thirty five quid or so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soooo Sick 1 May 2012

In terms of hardware synths, I have a microKorgXL and a Moog Slim Phatty which I love to pieces and use all the time... However I don't think either of them get as much use as my montron and I think that is purely down to the in built speaker... I have yet to use it in any of my productions and purely play around with it for fun, but I would like to include it in a tune soon. It is sooo much fun for when your chilling and wanna play around with the possibilities of what you can create. I bought this and my housemate loved it so much he went and got the original monotron so we now chain them together and run them through our guitar pedals and kaoss pads to see how far we can push the sounds... if you are a tech head you will know that although sometimes utterly pointless, this experimental process is a lot of fun.

Specifically for the duo: I have found that it is definitely the only real monotron designed for playing melodic lines due to its quantizable ribbon keyboard. If you have a chromatic tuner at hand it is very easy to set a key and a scale and get some sweet lines and hooks out of it. The second oscillator is wicked for creating interval based sounds which are reminiscent of retro video game music and electro due to both oscillators being square waveforms. The x-mod on the duo is essentially a frequency modulation effect that routes the output of each oscillator across one another other (hence cross or x mod). The second oscillator can reach inaudible low frequencies and therefor the effect can also be used as an LFO using the square wave of oscillator 2 to modulate the pitch of oscillator one. When turned up to a higher frequency, oscillator 2 modulates the first oscillator to create harmonically rich tones not present in either oscillator creating some interesting distorted and metallic sounds.

I am definitely going to buy more monotrons once my next load of pocket money comes in to chain them all together :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing 7 April 2013
KORG Monotron Duo is an awesome thing, im glad i have it! i got it as a gift from my mum, i had a choice between the three monotron's and i picked the duo because it has two VCO's a VCF (Classical filter from the MS-20) and keyboard quantising unlike the other two monotrons. I am very happy of the product and a very good thing about all o the monotrons is that you can plug in your iphone make a beat and play along to it on the monotron! Over all i am happy about the monotron!
