Those down and dirty lows to the higher lead synth tones, you have them all at your fingertips!Using the Cutoff of the VCF and the rate of the LFO, you can create a pulsating, beat, or a synth drum sound!
Lot's of cool tones available playing with the pitches and modulation knobs
This one has a tuning circuit that divides the ribbon into discrete note sections - a nice feature from the Monotribe.
The best feature about this, I would say, would be the ability to channel in audio via a 3.5mm jack and assign modulation and a filter
You can run a song through it and play sounds over it and that feature is pretty cool
input is a great feature, letting you route audio into the unit to make use of the
The filter has been secretly set to "follow" across the ribbon, meaning the cutoff frequency falls as you move your finger to the left, and rises as you move to the right.
Second, for the size and features, it's just a great value--the filter is awesome, and the type of sound you can get out of this little thing is very surprising
I will say however, it can be used as a filter box for external sounds, using the aux in port, which actually is pretty nice for devices with either a very hidden or nonexistent filter, like a cheap keyboard or a guitar
The filter on this little box is evil
Exactly what I wanted: a fun noise generator and fx filter
Otherwise, it's a great sound effect generator, and you can run a guitar or synth through its input, tapping into the powerful and versatile filter.
And it's great to use as a small, affordable delay effect to add to an instrument -- especially something like a Volca or something similar where the instrument's portable and you're already using a 1/8" jack, where it's going to be easier to deal with than a pedal effect
So, the Korg was the perfect instrument to keep his attention since the variety of sounds are
It's great to add as an FX instrument when I jam -- it gives great sci fi or other kinds of sounds to add to a mix, and adds something really distinctive
Overall its a good instrument to by,specially at the price Korg has given to it
and I can ever hear it with my ears when the instrument is turned up loud and is playing out of the built in speakers
One good/bad thing depending on what you want is that the delay isn't a pristine digital effect -- there's some grittiness there and higher pitches will die off over time instead of being perfectly preserved
Also, like a tape delay, you can mess with the pitch as it's repeating by twisting the time knob, which yields some cool effects depending on what you're repeating
As a single instrument you can make some really good sound effects
It is really fun for getting to know what different effects do and how the manipulation of the signal (tone) works
But this is pretty much by design -- perfect digital effects are available in many places if you want them, and this is intended to have a distinctive sound more like an old tape delay
I bought this with all the forefront knowledge that this little "toy" (yes, its not even hard plastic
Be careful with plugging/unplugging devices into it as it's pretty cheap plastic but should hold up well if you're gentle with it
The filter has been secretly set to "follow" across the ribbon, meaning the cutoff frequency falls as you move your finger to the left, and rises as you move to the right.
I had low expectations from the start, about a cheap plastic toy that I expected to use on one recording, and then give it to a kid or something
