You can make some fun and funky sounds with this

He began fooling around with it immediately, and enjoyed the sounds he could get out of it

Almost no sound would come out and I worried that I got a defective unit

Fun to just sit around and play mesmerizing sounds

Very disappointed that only the cutoff knob influences sound.

but if you're looking to just make some crazy sounds, experiment, and have a lot of wiggle room with the possibilities, this thing is great.

This thing is amazing! makes some incredible sounds by itself and some of the audio I have plugged into it sounds unique to say the least

I am about to try it out again and probably won't quit until I figure out some more great sounding settings...

Great sound, completely analog, and fun, for sure

Less for the musician, more for the sound designer, you can squelch, scream, grit, stutter, and even get some cool tonal sounds as well.

It plays fantastic sounds as you slide your finger across the ribbon, but when you lift your finger or stylus off the keyboard, you will usually hear a clicking sound.

I can't believe the absolutely sick sounds that come out of this thing

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

Really nice delay feature that you can build up and get a nasty sound really easy

Nice sound maker

But, on a real note, after playing with all the knobs even someone who has no idea what they're doing can make some really cool unique synth sounds

So I put a little white paint in the indicator indentations, and it's a big improvement (I didn't bother with the LFO rate knob, since that provides plenty of feedback from the blinking light).I've been having fun running my electric bass through the Monotron and getting some nifty sounds that way

These are the type of machines that Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk were using to create amazing sounds back in the day, computerised and "postmodern" sounding stuff

So that's a whole suite of customizable sounds and that costs around $300.Is it the best, cleanest sound

With an external audio input (an eighth-inch jack labeled "aux"), you can process (or mangle) even more sounds with the unit

For those wanting that pulsating delay that breathes and growls, the Monotron has incredibly simple tweaking options that can produce some really Interesting sounds

This product makes some pretty neat sounds but lacks the sophistication and diversity expected at the price I paid.

Basically everyone who's interested in strange sounds should own one

The sounds you can get from this little guy are pretty amazing, especially through a decent sound system

The biggest issues was that this synth always produced a white noise or hissing sound, even when hook up to external audio, that was very annoying.

You can run anything into it, and if you're brave, you can even modify it to get even crazier sounds.

my kids love making sounds on it as well.

While you're not getting an MS-20 or anything huge, the Monotron Delay allows you to add some great space sounds, incredible delays, and sweeping "swooshes"

The sounds on this thing are not particularly worthwhile, mainly because the ribbon controller is mapped to something like 8 octaves, which makes it impossible to control

Really nice delay feature that you can build up and get a nasty sound really easy

I tried dialing the knobs to see if I could eliminate the sound, but only succeeded in softening it some.

The sound is surprisingly good for such a tiny thing

If you input anything to it, the sound gets really grainy-- but for the price, what did anyone expect?

It is very easy to make lots of crazy analog sounds with the Monotron, which is fantastic for anybody who doesn't already have a full-sized analog synth.

if you run a clean sound source through the Delay, there's no way to twist the controls to get back to a clean-sounding output, which would make for a nice contrast

toy!!!You can get crazy sound out of this

In short, if you don't know how to circuit-bend or don't have another analog synth, you can have hours of fun making awful sounds with the Monotron!

The Monotron has a limited feature set and user interface but delivers a rich, fat analog sound that modeling synths could only hope to match.

Within five mins I was setting great sounds!

Now, the onboard speaker output can be a bit noisy; however, it isn't bad, and it's very easy to get around that and keep a good quality sound by using aux

There are some decent performances on youtube that people have, using a stylus or other smaller tool to hit the 'keys'.However, the sounds are just too cool and you can get some neat effects or rhythm sounds

Pop synth sounds like early Cars, Elton, ELO, even funky Bee Gees

It makes some surprisingly awesome sounds with great quality

Great sounds however

You can also get a thicker sound out of this, and crazy bass sounds

The filter alone is amazing sounding.

Wild sounds come out this thing

This thing has a really powerful sound on it
