    Korg Monotron Delay Analog Ribbon Synthesizer

    • Really fun, and a great way for kids to learn about sound synthesis.
    • The 4 selectable note patterns for the Ribbon are a great way to quickly get the sound you are after and even allow you to perform surprisingly consistent melodies despite the seemingly "micro" size of the ribbon keyboard
    • The best way is to just use the 1/8" jack input on my computer
    • It sounds like I pooped my pants, in a good way!
    • I linked my Monotrons and did have some fun with that, but the delay is just too noises, but not in a good way.
    • Personally, id rather have a more capable machine to get my Analogue sounds in order, however, this sure is a way to do it, just perhaps not the most eloquent way to do it.
    • The delay is gritty, noisy in a good way and analog (so some variance is expected)
    • If you don't yet own an analog synth but have always wanted one, this is a fun and relatively cheap way to get started
    • The delay is cheap but in the most amazing way, it just mangles the hell out of
    • The limitations (for lack of a better word) act more as a kind of systematic framework which encourages you to figure out creative ways to make sound; you can, and will, spend hours just fiddling around on it, conjuring up all sorts of sonic surprises
    • This is an excellent way for someone to become acquainted with the basics of electronic sound synthesis.
    • It's fun to play with, it's a great conversation starter, and is a great and cheap way to get a hold of a modable analog synth
    • Its a great way to get the creative juices flowing!
    • If you can't throw down $1200 for a MiniMoog this is a great way to satiate yourself.
    • 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.
