KORG monotron x DUO x DELAY : The song features all the monotrons !

[@guyplatter383]

this is probably one of the best things I have ever heard.

[@avatai]

A note on noise reduction: good cables, clean power to mixer/recording device, and (kinda tricky) shielding the unit will drastically reduce noise. Minimal post-processing is required. Besides, analogue creates noise, that's just part of 'analogue goodness'!

[@richlee.]

wow what have i been doing with my life

[@heatherpruner2284]

WHOA!!!! I have the Delay and the Duo and have only started exploring them. Now I wanna run home and play!😮

[@calyx93]

Very nice - I'm hoping that the popularity of these smaller devices might convince Korg to release a larger, more comprehensive analog monosynth. Maybe not a new MS-20, but one with two VCOs, two ENV generators, a multi-mode VCF and a multi-wave LFO - keys (just a couple of octaves) would be nice too. Ooh - if they threw in the delay, it could be even better! Ahh - wishful thinking!

[@csselement]

Maximizing the minimal!

[@officialsouthsoul5223]

2:04 is what sold

[@officialsouthsoul5223]

Sold me*

[@eye2eye899]

OfficialSouthSoul love that part

[@VolcaRock]

what a freaky noisy lovely intro! And then the dance - fusion mix, amazing!

[@HotStrange]

We must be subbed to the same people. I see your comments everywhere haha.

[@Mindleslongboarder]

soooooo coool monotron - drums delay - effects duo - bass + melody

[@Varue]

This definitely holds some resemblance to the original song. I like it! Especially the bass drop at the beginning.

[@parasiteunit]

not sure how many people here are aware, but Korg have the full schematics as a public domain download. Which of course means, with a bit of electronic savvy... it gives you a perfect map on the best way of modifying these little wonders to do your bidding (adding MIDI control is one I am most certainly looking into) and be more than a "simple toy" (not tree way I would describe them TBH)

[@rocksteadymaryrocksteady484]

I don't use the delay for the sounds but I plug a mic into and use it for reggae dub. Done and done. Love the shit out of these sounds though.

[@EricAndre615]

nice job! Most impressive demonstration I've seen with these so far.

[@TedFreemann]

absolutely brilliant little instruments with big sound to it ..nothing alse out ther like this

[@antonschwanzer8129]

We just bought it, just because your video is so amazing!!!! :)

[@jack_rabbit]

80's gameboy pepsi cola domino's pizza hulk hogan funk!

[@HotStrange]

Yup.

[@eerereps]

lol! this combo still checks out in 2020

[@mauricioalbertoaguirresoto3505]

for bPM speed on Bass drum patch (previously explained) the LFO rate becomes a BPM speed knob so adjust and pres and hold on the finger board in monotron so you'll have a 4/4 beat

[@anthonyyowzer]

This reminds me of the sound of Malibu Ken (Aesop Rock and Tobacco). I wonder if Tobacco used any monotrons on the album?

[@DJbace1]

Dude this is the best comment I've seen in a very long time. Cheers bro

[@Longuncattr]

@Skitchy89 You can just plug one end of a 1/8-inch stereo audio cable in the Monotron's headphone jack and the other end in your soundcard's audio input.

[@hpl138]

That's what I'm waiting for. A small compact device that combines the features of all 3 monotrons and maybe a couple of extra features as well. Something to bridge the gap between the monotrons and the monotribe.

[@OttosTheName]

I've seen people do awesome drums with the orig. Monotron. It sounded almost exactly like the drums under this song so I'd say these drums were probably also made with a monotron. There are some vids around explaining how to get nice percussive sounds.

[@parasiteunit]

well - there are several ways round it. A noise gate is one, many units have them built in now (like some of the BOSS BR### series) which simply cuts off the input when below a set threshold (approx -40db usually does the trick) or set your recording software to only record sounds when a threshold is hit (just like a noise gate) or simply be prepared to give each sample lots of trimming to get rid of the noise. EQing can help also (roll off -5bd at about 12khz-20khz). Hope that helps

[@jorgeegrojjorge]

sounds like old arcade or game boy music completely awesome can listen to this the whole day keep the coming !!

[@musicalrevo]

Can't change the fact that Delay is awesome.

[@MrSpasticdancer]

these things are a great price for what they are. i mean they sound pretty fat to me

[@JustinVodden]

best advertisement ever!

[@blackxred]

That didn't help me figure out which one I want to get but it was still brilliant!

[@srgamesalot]

Why is the monotron “Classic” so expensive and hard to find compared to the Duo and Delay?

[@tonybloodloss]

Just buy the second duo and be happy.

[@86davy]

Rarity

[@sentre16]

reminds of the song i get when i open up KEYGEN :P

[@eyre_]

I love my monotron duo so much - it's especially awesome to route a gameboy through it and use the filter on lsdj while jamming over the top with the awesome leads the duo can create. One thing I don't get about this video is how they kept them all perfectly in tune - i seem to spend most of my time tuning the oscillators and even then it's not great.

[@mechanicalaudio1947]

Thomas Nelson I have a guitar tuning pedal. That'd allow you to tune them.

[@eyre_]

Mechanical Audio i have rudimentary relative pitch. It sounds in tune when I'm playing, but then the recordings sound awful in a DAW. It's really weird. What pedal you got though? Is it any good?

[@searayus1]

Or you could buy a guitar and take a chance on meeting a girl.

[@IAmNateDogg]

when 2 synths love each other very much, they have a special hug and out pops a baby synth, if you watch it closely you can see it growing

[@HellVanSingMusik]

The sounds reminds me to the c64s SID-Chip

[@harrizjati]

Amazing. This is really not just a toy.

[@अमनचोपड़ा]

Placed order just because I saw this video :) Thanks !

[@HerreJorna]

A definite great run down!!!

[@mauricioalbertoaguirresoto3505]

HOPE THIS IS USEFUL FOR YA all GUYS thnx

[@juliabaldassarre6874]

Super cool!!

[@MrPyroguy108]

yes of course

[@shiru8bit]

Very impressive, I'm seriously underestimated this mini synth.

[@slicingbones6096]

So many people having been saying these aren't practical/you can't create with them and that they're just a "toy", We SUCK ON THIS ONE! Awesome video/song! I really want the delay!

[@cresshead]

this is excellent...i'm now really up for these wee beasties!

[@opusunum]

Man that was bad ass!! I will guitar center here I come lol!

[@Trancelistic]

Reading all theese comments, makes me feel like such a noob in this area. But yeah, I agree with most comments on this.:). Thanks for sharing the video

[@nisurisuto]

nice play!!

[@technerdbird]

this is awesome, thinking of getting delay x duo for KRIMAHHHH

[@camman1056]

what's the best for making heavy deep basslines? Is it the original monotron? Also does the duo have rate control?

[@jasonstalder5208]

that was amazing

[@deeganmurray274]

This is awesome im so getting one

[@EarthVsJazz]

My Duo will be here Friday!

[@AphoticAgony]

i would buy a whole album of this

[@habalewi4480]

good but can i connect it with a dj console?;)

[@gloktar567]

Top retro sound. Like.

[@raphaelsoulard2745]

Its very great !!

[@sardellaluc9294]

good belle demo

[@jupiterbarnen1125]

Fantastic demo of how versatile these small instruments are! Love the monotrons - all of them!! I used them together with the great Korg Gadget app on iPhone for weird effects, gorgeous filter sweeps etc. Check out JUPITERBARNEN - SPELA FORTNITE HELA DAN on Apple Music & Spotify to hear the monotrons in an old school synth pop mix.

[@mauricioalbertoaguirresoto3505]

For Bass drum in monotron pick Cutoff mode and lfo mix at 100% then cutoff knob to 20% average (from 0 value =L) and reso to 100% and medium pitch adjustment

[@bluebeemovies]

really good

[@Lanooski]

I have a Delay and a Stylophone yet I never crossed my mind to find a stylus to use on the Tron.

[@avatai]

At some point I'm going to get all three and treat it like a strange modular system. That will be fun, for sure!

[@Shampoid]

I just got a monotron and its great.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

That was awesome. Those things are so tiny.

[@edenbreath]

i'm going to buy both of them

[@blob1298]

quite impressive

[@antonigolkin6876]

there is a lot of additional effects and sound mixing. monotron out of the box sounds much simpler.

[@tzodearf2596]

You proved your point.

[@lwispe]

The amazing chiptune orchestra :D

[@wudsiba]

Good deal. I may just end up trying that. I have the original, but I really need to get the delay... Too good not too.

[@djthebandit]

Cool! How to deal with the noise when you link them up? It's driving me nuts. Seems like you got it handled. Any comments/tips on that?

[@-HYUUCHAN-]

the coolest song ever

[@nathanvanmiddlesworthmedia]

@calyx93 They do have the mono tribe!

[@MisterMotel]

thats impressive

[@SORBETVM]

wow, epic monotron solo. this guy owns.

[@gvp999999]

Just shows that talent doesn't need expensive gear.

[@invisibletenants]

I'm tempted to get a standard and Duo one but I wished they had put that little extra effort to add a usable EG wirh individual attack/release knobs and a halfway decent lfo with selectable waveforms in all of them. Well I guess I'm gonna have to hack one myself.

[@OfficialPaulReviews]

Get the monotribe

[@gigedit]

PaulReviews monotribe is increasingly harder to get. I ordered online at three differentsitesonly to be told they weren'tin stock... even though it said they were! I got a demo model eventually after much searching.

[@MrTrollinglol]

It doesn't have release/attack knobs though and the attack envelope is pretty weak

[@KlausVonMork]

A VCS3 and a Stylophone loved each other very much. They had a baby and they called it "Mono Tron"

[@wudsiba]

How would you go about shielding one of these?

[@arleycano5527]

hello friends, I have a question If I connect my midi keyboard with a 3.5 auxiliary cable to the input of the monotron korg, will it sound when I press the keys of the midi controller? I would appreciate your answers since it depends on whether I buy it or not.

[@AlessandroAgaDp1990]

chi ce sa gi tira fuori qualche cosa di allucinante anche con questi giocattolini, veramente clamoroso

[@shinrainc00]

OMG... SOOOO GOOD!

[@VM0451]

Now this, is electronic music that I like.

[@epereyralucena]

whats the diff bettween the first monotron and the duo ?

[@droneopt]

Awesome!

[@tomfurstyfield]

korg please make something like the mini brute but cheaper, thanks

[@gatekanomatek9132]

Sweet !

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

If only they would make an updated MS20, even without the semi modular section, just some nice raw Qsc and that filter and some analogue delay on the end, of a cheap spring verb to make it interesting, nothing too fancy, something everybody can get into, alittle bass monster plox!

[@Daydreaminginmono]

They should combine all of these in one unit and call it the triotron

[@electrobear31]

AWESOME!!!

[@8bitheroes86]

Absolutly fantasic

[@vedasisme]

Oh! I'd been wondering what Koishistyle was up to.

[@timjmoran]

I realize this is a Mono Synth... do you find the keys are actually playable?? the filters sound pretty decent.

[@backpocketfoundation]

it sounds soooooooo gooooooood

[@mrBrianlovesmovies]

AMAZING

[@xavi1991mosca]

just WOW

[@timjmoran]

Am I correct in assuming the drums came from somewhere else?? Nice track, btb!!

[@Almostbakerzero]

would be awesome if a monotron with midi came out,using a proper keyboard would be nice.

[@neonwind]

brilliant

[@HACC90]

do all of them have record and loop options? or do i have to connect to a PC?

[@lofiant81]

No you cant record and loop on them, this has been made by over dubbing tracks on a computer

[@IQFREAKY]

Dude, this is sick as hell. I am throwing my money at the screen. I hope my roommate doesn't wake up...

[@molowytch]

super!

[@ElectrikBear]

People seriously love analog mono and duo synths. Why are there so few in production! People shouldnt have to revert to synths from the 70 for that beautiful analog sound
