Korg Monotron First Impressions

May 10, 2010 – 11:34 am by John Keston

Lately, as you might have noticed, I’m attracted to synthesizers that don’t necessarily use keyboards for input. The Korg Monotron is a $60.00 battery operated true analog synthesizer with a ribbon controller and five knobs to control pitch, LFO rate / intensity, and VCF cutoff / peak. The Monotron will be available in the US this July. For more details checkout this article on Synthtopia.com.

Read on for more Korg Monotron videos. The next one is especially good.


Update: Modded Monotron video from Rob.

Let’s not forget to include the circuit diagram from Korg:
