Korg Monotribe in CV/gate mode (Demo)

Published on Feb 27, 2013 radiokoala·18 videos

"In this video, radiokoala -- among the first in the world maybe, -- explores sequencing monotribe with the CV/gate, a possibility added in the last 2.11 firmware.

However, instead of feeding the little metal box with yet one boring note pattern, the guy decides to take it one step further and sends monotribe output of his analogue oscillator Sputnik Dual Waveform Generator.

What actually happens is Osc 1 sends gate signal, and Osc 2 provides CV data. In other words, monotribe's internal VCO is frequency-modulated by DWG. (Which makes it sound more interesting, as you will hear.) Both CVs do not affect the drum track in any way, however a synth part is fully sequenced with a Sputnik oscillator.

Additionally, radiokoala not only jams with a patch he created, but also demonstrates how monotribe sounds with and without modulation via CV. Overall man's opinion is, addition of a CV/gate does really breathe a new life to monotribe -- this mode really ain't nothing other but a perennial spring of fun!"
