Korg MONOTRONDLY 0-Key Analog Synthesizer

So small but so much fun, the sound is thick and its fun to play around with the knobs once u connect it to a speaker it sounds even better. You can also connect any instrument to it with an aux cable which is awesome.

Died after less than 6 months with only a handful of uses.

The Monotron Delay is tremendous fun, and I use it in a lot of different ways. It's great to throw in my purse and noodle around on when I have time -- it takes up almost no space, which is perfect. It's great to add as an FX instrument when I jam -- it gives great sci fi or other kinds of sounds to add to a mix, and adds something really distinctive. And it's great to use as a small, affordable delay effect to add to an instrument -- especially something like a Volca or something similar where the instrument's portable and you're already using a 1/8" jack, where it's going to be easier to deal with than a pedal effect. One good/bad thing depending on what you want is that the delay isn't a pristine digital effect -- there's some grittiness there and higher pitches will die off over time instead of being perfectly preserved. But this is pretty much by design -- perfect digital effects are available in many places if you want them, and this is intended to have a distinctive sound more like an old tape delay. I'm certainly not an expert in all the things this can do, but if you're not used to playing around with delay effects, it's pretty versatile. You can just put a decaying echo after everything, or you can turn up the feedback until it repeats everything rhythmically over time. Which is to say, you can use it as a sort of looper, though the high end will decay before long. If you can dial in sounds you like, you can even turn it into a weird sort of drum machine, repeating percussive sounds per measure or per quarter note, depending on the time interval you set. Also, like a tape delay, you can mess with the pitch as it's repeating by twisting the time knob, which yields some cool effects depending on what you're repeating. In my opinion, this is the best pocket instrument out there.

Comprei para minha namorada como um mimo de aniversário e ela adorou. Unica reclamação é que o preço poderia ser um pouco mais em conta, mas aí é culpa do dólar.

Man kann das Gerät über Kopfhörer oder den eingebauten Lautsprecher betreiben. Über Kopfhörer ist der Klang natürlich besser, als über den Lautsprecher. Faszinierende Klänge entstehen bei Rückkopplung mit Echo, wenn die Verstärkung nahezu 1 beträgt und damit das Echo lange erhalten bleibt, wenn es auch dumpfer wird. Wenn man die Verstärkung noch etwas anhebt, wird auch das Rauschen verstärkt und moduliert, das sonst nur wenig zu hören ist. Es entstehen wahrhaft "kosmische" Klänge. Die Tastatur ist wirklich sehr klein, und es ist schwierig, einen Ton genau zu treffen. Allerdings macht das nicht so viel aus, wie ich anfangs dachte. Zum einen kann man den Ton in der Höhe automatisch ändern lassen, zum anderen wird man das Gerät eher für Geräusche einsetzen, denke ich. Und man kann es sehr gut zum Meditieren verwenden. Mit dem Fingernagel konnte ich Töne ganz gut treffen. Eine Tastatur lässt sich anschließen, wenn man das Gehäuse öffnet und entsprechende Anleitungen im Internet beachtet. Ein kompletter Schaltplan wird von Korg auf seiner Seite zur Verfügung gestellt. Man kann also eine Tastatur nachrüsten, wenn man will, aber auch andere Nachrüstungen sind möglich.

Sebbene abbia già strumenti ben più "importanti" il monotron delay è uno straordinario compendio di tecnologia lo-fi a basso costo, un oscillatore, un LFO a due forme d'onda collegato al pitch, un filtro lowpass basato sul Korg 35 (ms20 e ms10) e un delay pt2399 in coda, il cui feedback rientra però nel filtro, e questo è un twist formidabile. Rispetto al monotron originale e al duo qui non è presente il controllo di resonance ma a orecchio direi che un quarto di resonance è già presente nel comportamento del filtro, sicché suona molto incisivo e gnarly. È possibile collegare e filtrare / ritardare strumenti esterni. In più, se siete armati di saldatore e fantasia potete anche modificarlo a piacimento (aggiungere sensori ottici, modificarlo per il controllo cv/gate, aggiungere il controllo di resonance, modificare la destinazione del LFO, collegarlo a un powerbank anziché utilizzare le pile, etc.). Tanta roba.
