AngryOctopus WebotronFM - Online Java Based Monotron

via AngryOctopus
"I love the new Monotrons from Korg, I was considering attempting digital versions but thought it would be much more fun to come up with my own design. I decided to go for something that would make more sense digitally and so FM seemed the logical choice. I went for buttons rather than the usual ribbon controller which would probably make a physical version too expensive but is much easier to play."

via this auction

"It is kind of the big brother to the Korg MS-20. It features several unusual features, including: scale noise, external audio processing, traveler control of filters (HP/LP w/ res), and much more. It also includes the beige vinyl cover for it (which it must have sat under, protected, for some time). This piece looks like it came straight out of a time capsule!"
