Korg Monotron Delay

[@osvos3278]

Haha I've had one of these for years. Absolutely bomb proof, been all over the place with it. Not much use as a synth but the filter and delay are insane. Really hard to keep it under control... less is more!

[@ogami1972]

I love my monotron. I have a volca nubass that I split the out put of, put on channel through the monotron and one clean into the volca mix, so I can add a little filter dirt or delay to a bassline. Also fun for spce-y ambient noises.

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

very nice - volca nubass how lovely !!!!!!

[@AntaresWaveLab]

Very funny little thing - got my yesterday and looking forward to chain it with my volcas and minilouge XD 😂👍😎

[@JSRF420]

I absolutely LOVE and adore this thing.

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

there is something very appealing about them

@@TheCreativeHeadSpace I've always loved Dub since I was a kid. Analog stuff too.

[@lars-fenin]

i love this little box... use it much as a dub siren on dj sets or over the aux in as a cheap fx processor.

I have one of these and I can't quite decide if I should keep it or not. It's a really fun little thing to have, strangely enough one of my favourite things to play through it is also the pocket operator arcade. The other thing I really, really love to do with it is play my Volca Sample through it- it really does add some serious crunch and lo-fi grit to an already pretty gritty, lo-fi sampler. To be honest, I mostly keep hold of mine just to run the Volca Sample 2 through it.

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

think you should keep it ! Sounds like it is part of your sound

[@bravado_machine]

I love this unit!!

@@TheCreativeHeadSpace oh i mean i got it for my birthday a couple years ago but was also my birthday recently anyway so thank you!

[@macavree9464]

Cool device! How do you like the Mackie mixer?

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

I have had so many mackies in my life including a studio i worked for had the often dissed digital DB8 ( I loved it ) was thing about doing a vid - do you have one ?

[@yasuri9398]

I have one and I use it to add an extra layer of flavor to the sounds I make when circuit bending small toy pianos hahaha

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

That sounds cool - you should post some on your channel

[@WayneLambrightIII]

I really like your review of this product and I want to encourage you to make a video doing a jam session with it so we can see what it's like implemented in your music. I'm not a musician just a fan of music.

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

hey Wayne thanks - will do !

[@osthmail]

So kind informative video. 😍😆

MONOTRON DELAY F O R E V E R ❤️🦾🤖

[@TheDavidPoole]

Short answer: absobloodylutely

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

sounds like you have one indoors ?

[@TheDavidPoole]

@@TheCreativeHeadSpace yes. The delay is wonderful for so many things. If you set the feedback right on the cusp of self generation with the filter wide open then slowly close the filter you get a lovely effect where it begins to self oscillate at filter frequencies from about 90 to 10 per cent. It's quite musical. As a send effect it's nice and lo-fi and I personally think it beats a lot of rather expensive effect units in some respects. Also, the monotrons are great for modifying. Korg has thoughtfully labeled the circuit board with many points that you can solder patch sockets for connecting to modular synths and sequencers if you're into that sort of thing. I've just got into modular myself, and am seriously thinking about doing this with my 'trons.

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

@@TheDavidPoole yes I have moded one going to do another vid about that - smashing isnt it ?

[@TheDavidPoole]

@@TheCreativeHeadSpace yes, I'd love to fit one onto a Eurorack panel as it would make a very nice (and cheap!) synth voice. That'll have to wait until after I've sorted the room out though. Too many zero days 😱🤣

[@JSRF420]

Omfg, I bought this literally a few uears ago ALSO. I like to use it with my sunths and stuff xD

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

nice one x

[@CR-sj7xd]

synth is useless, filter sounds great but too noisy. sometimes i run my nord drum through it, really make it sound better but high freqs has heavy noise, only usable for kick drums or if you have proper calbes, run vst sub basses, you will love it

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

Hey fair enough - personally i love the synth - when i have it on my bass i use it as a dub siren

[@SR-ih1be]

Yeah, I bought 2

[@TheCreativeHeadSpace]

brilliant - i bought another one n case i messed up modding - but it turned out ok so also have 2 - lucky us !!
