Production Room - Korg Monotron Analog Ribbon Synthesizer

YouTube via productionroom | July 13, 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."

Moogerfooger FreqBox MF-107 driven by a DSI Tetra

YouTube via GruithuisenCityMan | July 13, 2010

"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie. To be fair, this is hardly a demo. I am just trying some possible sounds made by a Moogerfooger FreqBox MF-107 driven by a Dave Smith Instruments Tetra (playing always the same simple monophonic sound). As it is my very first attempt to do so, the results are certainly not to be taken too seriously. Enjoy !

Quasimidi 309 and Polymorph are the two synths side by side. You can spot an Evolver on the desk and the Moog Voyager comes in midway. Follow-up to this post.

"Our sixth studio session. Brittany practices singing to the much slower tempo which she enjoys. Having fun with a new song, we run the vocals through the vocoder to give the chorus an extra boost. Also playing around with the bass guitar going through the modular.

Some gear used: Ibanez bass, mxl condenser mic, Synthesizers.com Modular, Korg MS2000BR

Please stay tuned for our weekly videos, where we take the video camera into the studio to show you some of our creative processes for our upcoming album. For more info on Voice to Spirit please visit our web site http://www.voicetospiritmusic.com/."
