Monoplugs Releases Monique - The unique Synthesizer

Published on Mar 19, 2016 Monoplugs

Update: you'll find the official product page here.

Monique Basics Tutorial


via Monoplugs Magazin:

"What’s Monique? Monique is a monophonic, subtractive, digital synthesizer with the focus to create raw bass and lead sounds like you know from the analogue world. Still not impressed? Tough crowd, but understandable! Along with these brilliant capabilities, is Monique’s custom morphing feature. Morphing gives you the capabilities of 8 different programs in one! This is perfect for real-time jamming, and live performances. Not only that, you can also evolve one of the existing presets – or you can use it for sound and rhythm design, by turning on one or more of the four Morph LFO’s.

Whether you’re a professional or a newcomer, Monique is a bit different – you should really watch the Monique Basics Video. In the introductory 13-minute video, we explain Monique from the first click to the completed composition!"

Roland SVC-350 Vocoder

"The SVC350 is essentially the same the vocoder section in the VP330, just in a smaller rack form. Yet unlike the VP330, the SVC350 has graphic EQ section that allows you to shape the tone with more control than a VP330 does. This is a classic sounding vocoder, really awesome with vocals and synthesizers but especially cool when paired with drum machines, guitars and effects."

Roland DJ-70 Keyboard Sampler SN ZE01032

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Note the scratch wheel on the right.

"Roland DJ-70 Keyboard Sampler in good condition. Upgraded to 4 meg Ram. Everything works perfect. All the buttons sliders etc function properly. There is a scratch on one key. The cap on the sampling level knob is missing-the knob is intact and works fine...you can see the missing cap in the photos.

This is an easy sampling keyboard to use. The scratch wheel is awesome. A great live sampler. Sounds great-whatever you sample sounds better than the source!

Besides being a 16 bit sampler, the DJ-70 includes many features that no other sampler offers - like the incredible scratch wheel. Take any sound (Drums, phrases, your voice) and assign it to the scratch wheel and you can scratch it like a record! It also has 8 assignable trigger pads that play back your sample at the touch of a button, great for one shot sound effects that you want to keep handy. You can also build up sounds in a synthesizer fashion by combining different samples, crossfading between them using velocity, apply TVA and TVFs (filters). It also has an 8 track sequencer. The features go on and on."

enveloped by Maths
Sputnik 2 (lightly FM'd by Sputnik 1) - Timbre (modulated by PEG) - Optomix
Pitch sequence from Rene

Balanced Modulator Patch
(several sounds were derived from this patch by changing Rene's Gate outs, wiggling octaves, FM depth, etc.)
Sequencer 1 driving the pitch
Maths enveloping the Optimixes
which receive the signal from the balanced mod setup:
2 Sputniks going into the uVCAs with inversions
(Sputnik 1 is also lightly FM'ing Sputnik 2)
PEG is controlling the FM depth (via Classic VCA) and
modulating Expo/Pitch on Sputnik 1

Machine Noise Patch

Rene (getting Glide data from Sequencer 1) driving
the STO and the Rubicon
STO putting out Vari Shape (modulated by PEG)
