Musikmesse: Korg Monotron, @ Musikmesse Frankfurt 2010


YouTube via Moogulator
"Nice Gadget . Mini Synthesizer from Korg 50€, ext. input, shown on Musikmesse Frankfurt 2010 Fast LFO. Very simple but nasty ;) by www.sequencer.de synth database"


via production room
"Coming May 2010
Powered by two alkaline AAA batteries, the compact monotron can be held in one hand. Although small enough to easily carry with you, the amazing monotron is packed with KORGs legendary analog technology, generating thick and powerful sounds. Concentrating on the most important sound parameters, the controls have been streamlined as much as possible. The panel contains only five knobs and one switch. With this level of simplicity, now anyone can easily enjoy the world of analog synthesizers.

Borrowing the enjoyment of performing with a simple touch from Korgs wildly popular KAOSS products, the monotrons ribbon controller keyboard takes this ease of use even farther. Simple finger gestures can produce expressive effects such as vibrato and glide. Used in a band, you can expand your possibilities by harmonizing with another instrument ? or taking center stage for a monotron solo!

The monotrons circuit is radically simple: one voltage-controlled oscillator, one voltage controlled filter, and one low frequency oscillator. Since each knob directly applies a specific change to the sound, the process of sound creation is intuitive, and instantly understandable. Simple is best. Gone are the deep lists of presetsand parameters typical of todays synthesizers. Instead, the monotron encourages exploration andexperimentation. The monotron provides the joy of sonic creativity that's at the heart of analog synthesis, making it an ideal choice for someone who is new to synthesizers, or for musicians who wants to expandtheir sonic palette.

The monotron uses the same highly acclaimed VCF circuit as KORGs classic MS-10 and MS-20 semi modular synthesizers. Originally released over 30 years ago, these instruments are still coveted today for their aggressive, dynamic filters. The VCF Cutoff knob sets the frequency or tone of the filter; the VCF Peak knob adds emphasis. A powerful filter is an essential aspect of any analog synthesizer, applying dramatic tonal changes to the sound, and projecting an intense personality that will stand out in any live performance.

Features
* Full-fledged, true analog synthesizer: VCO, VCF, LFO
* Inspiring, easy-to-play ribbon keyboard
* Intuitive, fun-to-tweak controls
* Features the same classic analog filter found in the legendary Korg MS-10 & MS-20
* Filter any external source using the audio input jack
* LFO can modulate either pitch of filter cutoff
* LFO Rate knob features cool LED visual indicator.
* Battery operation and palmtop size equals true portability
* Internal speaker/headphone jack lets you enjoy the sound anywhere ? alone or with friends!"

Musikmesse: Korg Monotron, el analógico más pequeño


YouTube via Hispasonic
"El Korg Monotron era probablemente el producto más curioso de los que podían verse en el stand del fabricante japonés en la Musikmesse. En una carcasa realmente pequeña, Korg ha implementado un auténtico oscilador analógico controlado por voltaje y un filtro VCF idéntico al de los clásicos MS-10 y MS-20.

Monotron funciona con un par de pilas AA y dispone de una cinta magnética derivada de los modelos KAOSS. Su precio recomendado es de 85 dólares americanos."

EURORACK MODULAR SHOCK ELECTRONIX ENSEMBLE


Published on Jul 17, 2015 PLUCKA,S SHED

Synth bird!

"A new eurorack modular from shock electronix featuring the sequencer ,delay and modulator a very easy and fun starter setup
http://shockelectronix.com/shop/"

A list of their first set of products for the archives (these are available as completed or as various DIY kits):

"EsQu-One Step Sequencer

The Shock Electronix Modatron EsQu-One Step Sequencer is our Eurorack conversion of the super compact and highly versatile Korg SQ-1 Step Sequencer.

As standard, the Korg SQ-1 is a compact step sequencer with 2 x 8 steps. It's wealth of connection jacks allows it to be integrated with a Eurorack System, connected to the MS-20, and a variety of other synthesizers.

Vintage analog synths or the latest compact synths can be controlled from this single unit. You can also switch between a variety of synthesizer modes and use the step buttons to create performances overflowing with spontaneity.

As a descendant of the SQ-10, and just like the SQ-1, the EsQu-One supports the Hz/V standard, enabling it to perfectly control the MS-20 or MS-20 mini. It goes without saying the V/Oct standard is also supported, and the voltage level of the CV output (*) and polarity of the GATE output can be specified as appropriate for the device you've connected. This versatility will enable you to control a wide variety of other synthesizers as well.

* V/Oct supported for 1V, 2V, and 5V; Hz/V supported for 8V.

Just like the SQ-1, the EsQu-One provides two CV/GATE OUT channels, the standard MIDI OUT and USB MIDI, littleBits out (to connect to the littleBits synth kit by littleBits Electronics Inc.), plus the SYNC IN/OUT channel that allows you to connect to the volca series and monotribe. In addition to this, we’ve designed the EsQu-One with an added 4 rows of multiples, and easy access to the USB port at the bottom."


"Modatron Delay

The Shock Electronix Modatron Delay is our Eurorack conversion of the extremely popular Korg Monotron Delay.

As standard, the Korg Monotron Delay offers analog-style echoes, an LFO with selectable triangle or square waveshape, the same classic analog filter found in the legendary Korg MS-10 & MS-20, and with newly added controls, there is much more flexibility and functionality than ever before."

latest phase of TR 505 project....... With MONOTRON!

Published on Aug 6, 2013 squidfanny·148 videos

squidfanny on eBay (RSS)

"Rusty old TR-505, revived from the dead for an audio experiment.
Inspired by Youtube user Oskar Schölander, this device is an experimental attempt to integrate a MONOTRON directly into a TR-505 drum machine!

How is this possible?

Using pulses from the MPU (big chip inside the 505), and an array of pulse stretchers/inverters, it is possible to trigger the Monotron and generate simple 'Computer Generated BAsslines'....

Take a look at the left side of the machine - can you see all the flashing lights? These lights represent pulses from the 505's MPU and also IC1. They are sent through diodes, to metal bolts. These bolts can then be connected to the Pulse Stretcher / Inverter modules to tweak the signal into something approximating a CV signal, which can then be fed into the Monotron - THUS TRIGGERING IT'S GATE, Pitch CV, FILTER & LFO.

I've also added Individual outputs for the TR505's drums, which can then be mixed into the Monotron's VCF...... Cool, eh?

Mods on the TR-505 include -
* ANALOG BASS DRUM (to replace the original pathetic excuse for a BD).
* Individual tuning for each drum group (courtesy of a cmos 40106).
* GATE Switches to shorten the drum sounds & give the machine more of a modern sound, suitable for faster tempo's.
* Individual Volumes
* Tone control for the snare.
* SEQUENCER GLITCH Mod, to disrupt the drum patterns by pressing buttons & switches.
* GLITCH Boltbay (not shown in demo due to annoying cat)

It's been about 5 years since I last touched this 505, and I'm ashamed to say it's just been sat in the garden shed for all this time, providing a nice home for lots of spiders....

It'll probably never quite end up finished, but it's still fun to play with as a canvas to try out experiments & test bits of DIY circuitry.
Future mods will include PULSE SHORTENERS (as well as pulse stretchers) & Some kind of interesting envelope generator. Possibly even a CMOS arpeggiator?
Monotrons sound pretty crappy compared to decent 'pro' gear, so may add a decent pre-amp / amp / tone circuit at some point too.
Basically the possibilities are endless.......

Watch this space and in another 5 years there may be a new Phase to this project :)

Thanks to Oskar Schölander for providing creative inspiration!

AngryOctopus Webotron Updated With Input from Monotron Designer

AngryOctopus, wrote in to let me know he heard from the designer of thew new KORG Monotron. He actually received some tips on how it works. +1 for KORG. You can find the updated version here. There is now QWERTY keyboard support so you can play with your keyboard. I had to click on a note first to get it to work, but it does work fine.

Some notes on the Monotron:
- filter doesn’t sound nearly as aggressive at maximum peak.
- LFO is slower at minimum (about 15s period) and faster at maximum (>1kHz).
- monotron resets the LFO at the moment the ribbon is touched, so it
works like a simple cycling EG at slow LFO rates.
- monotron has fixed intensity keytrack. cutoff tracks ribbon position
by factor of two. only tracks ribbon not pitch knob.

follow-up to this post. Remember you can search on Monotron here to find all posts mentioning the new device, including videos, details, comments, pics and more.

Amazing Machines NASTYMONO

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. "The NastyMono was designed for the KORG Mono Series and will work properly with any of the following devices:

Monotribe
Original Monotron
Monotron Duo
Monotron Delay

You still can use the NastyMono with any other Analog Synth that features a VCF Input and Multiple Audio Outputs or a Separate Headphones Output. However due to the nature of the KORG Mono Series the 1/4” Auxiliary Input and the 1/4” Audio Output Signals on the NastyMono rely on the RING contacts found on the 3.5mm I/O cables, there for the 1/4” Auxiliary Input won’t work if your Synth features a Mono VCF Input, the same goes for the 1/4” Audio Output, if the NastyMono is being feed by a Mono Signal the 1/4” Audio Output won’t work. Despite the fact that the 1/4” connectors won’t work depending on your specific Analog Synth, the Feedback Knob will still work, giving you the desired Distortion Effect, a nice example is the Moog Minitaur which will keep all the NastyMono’s functionality except for the 1/4” Auxiliary Input."

Monotribe + iMS20 con SyncKontrol y WIST


Published on Nov 13, 2012 by Armada Sonora

Googlish [original Spanish further below]:

"THIS VIDEO IS TEACHING. NOT intend to present as art WHAT SOUNDS HERE.

Korg iMS20 is an iPad app that aims to emulate the sound of classic Korg MS20 and add extra functionality as Kaosspad, a sequencer, a drum machine and a composer of songs based on patterns.

Korg Monotribe analog synthesizer is a ribbon (ribbon). At least for me, this little guy has proven to be a surprise as it is a powerful synthesizer with character, that does justice to those legendary analog synthesizers that several decades ago stopped producing Korg.

The aim of the video is to show how, through the application SyncKontrol, used an iPhone, you can sync the digital world (iMS20) with analog realm (Monotribe).

Following the setup of the video:

SYNC

iMS20 (iPad) is enslaved to SyncKontrol (iPhone) via WIST. This way we can, from the iPhone, give play / stop and manipulate tempo.
Monotribe is enslaved to SyncKontrol (iPhone) connecting Monotribe Sync-IN to the output of the iPhone, using a miniplug cord.
Thus, giving the SyncKontrol play from the iPhone, we can establish perfect synchrony between iMS20 and Monotribe, MIDI without.

a152 T&H controls both monotron-e VCO cv

audio is sent to ableton live and processed with audio damage dr device"

via Doepfer:

"Module A152 is a very useful switching and T&H module. It combines a voltage addressed 1-to-8 multiplexer and 8 fold T&H that can be used as kind of an analog shift register too. The active in/output is displayed by a LED. The digital output of the currently addressed step outputs "high". The remaining digital outputs are low.

Instead of voltage control even clock/reset controlled addressing of the active step is possible. The rising edge of each clock signal causes an advance to the next state. The rising edge of the reset signal resets to step 1.

Basis principles: The sum of the voltages coming from the manual Address control and the CV input define the currently addressed step of the 3 sub-devices. If the module is controlled by clock and reset the control voltage has to remain unchanged as the CV control has priority over the clock/reset control (e.g. simply turn the CV control fully counterclockwise and do not touch the Address control knob).

Sub-device #1 is the bidirectional 8-fold multiplexer (kind of an electronical 8-fold rotary switch). Bidirectional means that it works into both directions like a mechanical rotary switch: the common socket may work as an output that is connected to one of the 8 inputs that are e.g. connected to modulation or audio sources. But the common socket may even function as input. In this case the signal applied to the common socket is output to the currently addressed single socket. The voltage range of the in/outputs to be switched is the full A-100 voltage range -12V....+12V. All A-100 signals can be switched without any restrictions.

Star Wars Millennium Falcon Korg Delay Monotron Ribbon Synthesizer Keytar


via this auction

"Up for auction at no reserve is a Star Wars Millennium Falcon Ribbon Synthesizer Keytar. It is 100% operational and sounds quite amazing. As the pictures indicate, I began this project and shall leave it up to the purchaser to complete. It merely requires securing the Ribbon Sensor and Korg Delay Monotron to the body of the ship. The reason I have not done so is that the purchaser may wish to orientate the Monotron differently than is shown in the photos.

The Ribbon is a high quality sensor that measures approximately 21 inches and length and 1 inch in width. It features a 1/8 inch mini-jack input. I've not connected this Ribbon to any other analog synthesizers other than the Delay Monotron, so I am unsure whether it would operate via CV. The Korg Delay Monotron has been modified with the same 1/8 inch mini-jack to accept the Ribbon Sensor. The Millennium Falcon is hinged and opens up so that you may run the 1/8 inch mini-jack cord internally, and also allows access for easy modification/mounting of the Korg Delay Monotron. A 1/8 inch mini-jack is included."

Voice Band comes in at 1:19.

"Messing around with my Korg Monotron plugged into various iPhone apps. Not trying to play anything musical!

* First I used T-Pain to autotune it. Great fun and makes the Monotron surprisingly playable.

* Next comes Voice Band. Turn your analog Monotron into a sampled synth. Wait, that is an odd idea...

* Then into Moog's awesome Filtatron for some filtering and delay.

* RJDJ next. I couldn't believe just how incredible this was! I intend to spend much time tripping away to that.

* Finally, just for fun, vocoding into iVoxel. Sound is a bit distorted - my bad. But with some twiddling you can make your Monotron polyphonic (of sorts!)

Sound quality isn't great as I'm having sound card issues and this is my first video. So pops, crackles and sync issues are down to the video, not the apps.

Enjoy having fun with your Monotron and a couple of dollars worth of iPhone apps!"

I'm running Mgb on the Gameboy, and the audio out is sent into the filter input on the Monotron. The Monotron mixes the two signals (its own VCO and the Gameboy) to one mono output. The sequencer controls the monotron CV (or gate input, as it works so much better) and i switch it to the Cut off CV input a couple of minutes into the song. The MPC acts as the master clock, sending MIDI to the Gameboy, and sending a rimshot sample at 16th notes out of the right output. all of the other drums are send to the left output. A Yamaha r100 provides some reverb."

Comparison test: Blofeld - Monotron - Evolver


YouTube via adimsimion | November 19, 2010

"The sound was normalized but only with the tool of the video software. In consequence, the white noise of the Monotron is more obvious and wasn't removed at all. On the other side is better, because you'l know what to expect when you buy a Monotron.

So, you have to know from beginning that Monotron has a very pregnant white noise and it ribbon cannot be described in terms like "precisely".
But still a very powerful analog synth into a small box [reminds me the earlier radios!]

I didn't have enough time and will to match the sounds exactly, but the final conclusion is that all three synths have something in common: the analog sounds, even the Blofeld is a VA and many said that sounds noisy, metallic etc - with some skills you can produce excellent patches.

Many thanks to "matrixsynth" who "convinced" me to re-upload this test.
Please, enjoy, and comment!
