Korg Monotron

Anyone here tried one?
Is it more of a toy than a synth or could it be the next Stylophone?
I was also wondering about the aux input- any good?

Cheers folks! :mrgreen:

E.S. has one.
Sound On Sound rather liked it as I recall.

I've got it. Fun toy, it can make some really cool sounds if you're into wild synth fx, or if you want a pocket theremin.

The LFO has to be the fastest on the planet. Kinda difficult to play this thing in tune, but we don't want it to be too easy, do we?
But the output is a bit noisy, at least mine is.

Cheers E.S, I'm quite considering getting one and building a mini double keyboard stand so that I can put the Monotron and stylophone on it and have a mini keyboard rig ontop of my full size one! 8-) :lol:

Ask that guy who make stands for Rudess. :lol:

Hell Yeah! :twisted:

[edit] On the subject of stands, my brother was watching a Marilyn Manson DVD the other day and I caught a glance of his keyboard player with his synth mounted on a bloody great spring as a stand- as he played it started swaying to the left and right! :lol: [/edit]

Guess that's one way to jump a couple of octaves quickly. :lol:

Good reverb too...

And you don't have to worry about carrying heavy boards, it just bounces anywhere.
