KORG MONOTRON-DO Analog Synthesizer Monotron DUO Palm-Sized / Simple Layout Perfect for Beginners / Built-in Speaker / Headphone Compatible/ Compact Size for Anywhere

到着してみて、想像以上に小さかった。 本当に音が鳴るのか不安だったけど、きちんと鳴ってくれた。 そして、その音が鳴るってのがとても楽しい 色々設定みたいなのを変えて遊んでる。 クリティカルな音が出たときには、ちょっと嬉しいって思っちゃうくらい。 これで作曲となると難しいかもしれないけど、いつかはチャレンジしてみたい

シンセは初心者かつdelayは未所持です。 これを中継していろんな音源の音を変えて遊びたいと思ったんですが、ダイレクトに影響するのはcutoffとpeakだけなんですかね。でもこれをいじるだけでも安物テルミンの音が多少柔らかくなったので満足です。 単体でいろんな音を作るのも楽しい。特撮とかの効果音ちっくな音を作れます。 出せる音階は一見狭いですが、鍵盤側じゃなくてpitchノブをいじって演奏すればそこそこ広い音階が出せそう。この場合音階調整が無段階かつかなりシビアになりますが…。 鍵盤側を音が出るように固定してpitchで音階調整しつつその他のノブをいじって音作りとかすると、なんか面白いことができそうな気もします。 サイズも文庫本の半分くらいでお手軽で良いですね。

まあまあ良かったですよ。

外見はカワいくて印象がいい楽器です 何が問題かというと、マニュアルが同梱してないんです(紙1枚の説明書はありましたが)。シンセはいろいろ使ったことがありますが、このキカイは、どう使ったらいいのかよくわかりません わかったのは今のところ電源のオフ/オンだけです ^_^； たぶんどっかのウェブサイトにいい解説があると思うので、それを見ながらチェックしてみようと思います いろいろ見えてきたらまたこの記事は加筆します

おもちゃみたいな手のひらサイズのシンセサイザーですが、しっかりとアナログ感があり、十分に楽しめます。 このサイズでオシレーターを2つ持っていて、ツマミをひねって2つの音をうまく混ぜ合わせると、けっこう面白い音が鳴ります。 鍵盤のようなものがついていますが、小さくて押しづらいですし、正確に音階を演奏するのは難しいので、メロディを演奏するのには不向きかなと思います。 アナログシンセ特有のうねるような音を出して楽しむという目的ならぴったりですし、子供用のおもちゃとしても良いかもしれません。

電池を入れて電源は入るけど、全く音が出ない。最低最悪。

Monotronシリーズの中でも音階演奏が 比較的簡単にできて、曲作りでも使えそうと思い購入しました。正直リアルタイムで打ち込むにはかなり慣れが必要とおもいますが、ソフトサンプラーに読み込み、PCで演奏すると問題ありません。音作りの幅はなかなかひろくて、飽きません。Bass、Lead音色などは即戦力で使える音も作れます。 おもちゃぽいけど侮れないさじ加減ですね。 可愛い筐体からでるリアルなアナログサウンドは値段も安いし、試す価値ありです。

VCO２個乗っけるぐらいだったら１つはLFOにしてくれたほうが良かったです。 LFOがあればキックやウェットなベースも作れて音の幅が広がりました。 つまり初代で充分なのですが、新しいこちらのほうが微妙になってしまって残念です。 それか初代を再販してほしい。

Muy buen producto para usarlo incluso en estudio de grabación.

I never owned an analog synth before -have played with a couple & have a few such apps for iPad & iPhone - but something about the physical / tactile controls + ribbon, the simple design (enough controls to make it flexible & interesting w/o being overwhelming or non-intuitive) and the super portable handheld format makes this totally better than anything I've tried. I put on some headphones and played with this thing for hours, and can't see myself getting bored with it. The ribbon controller is pretty neat for making all sorts of slidy noises and in quantized mode for playing riffs, I may google how to hack in a CV or a MIDI input so I can control it with a larger keyboard or control the various knobs with an expression pedal or Arduino. But everything is laid out pretty nicely that I can tweak knobs while playing and it isn't too difficult. I think I'll be expanding this with the Monotron Delay and others before long, and experimenting with plugging other instruments into the input (a rad feature btw - it basically doubles as an effect pedal!). Well done Korg, you have won a new satisfied customer.

Good

In terms of hardware synths, I have a microKorgXL and a Moog Slim Phatty which I love to pieces and use all the time... However I don't think either of them get as much use as my montron and I think that is purely down to the in built speaker... I have yet to use it in any of my productions and purely play around with it for fun, but I would like to include it in a tune soon. It is sooo much fun for when your chilling and wanna play around with the possibilities of what you can create. I bought this and my housemate loved it so much he went and got the original monotron so we now chain them together and run them through our guitar pedals and kaoss pads to see how far we can push the sounds... if you are a tech head you will know that although sometimes utterly pointless, this experimental process is a lot of fun. Specifically for the duo: I have found that it is definitely the only real monotron designed for playing melodic lines due to its quantizable ribbon keyboard. If you have a chromatic tuner at hand it is very easy to set a key and a scale and get some sweet lines and hooks out of it. The second oscillator is wicked for creating interval based sounds which are reminiscent of retro video game music and electro due to both oscillators being square waveforms. The x-mod on the duo is essentially a frequency modulation effect that routes the output of each oscillator across one another other (hence cross or x mod). The second oscillator can reach inaudible low frequencies and therefor the effect can also be used as an LFO using the square wave of oscillator 2 to modulate the pitch of oscillator one. When turned up to a higher frequency, oscillator 2 modulates the first oscillator to create harmonically rich tones not present in either oscillator creating some interesting distorted and metallic sounds. I am definitely going to buy more monotrons once my next load of pocket money comes in to chain them all together :)

I love everything about this synthesizer. Im known as the one who carries his synth everywhere he goes and its a really great device. As a single instrument you can make some really good sound effects. However it doesnt have enough on it to create a excision or skrillex sound but definetly something like deadmau5 or Mord Fustang is achievable on this. The fact it isnt a midi is something that not everyone likes but i actually prefer to have it with the aux jacks because im an on budget person and have some mild Daw's and Music creator 6 cant really make a electro or dubstep beat. You can run a song through it and play sounds over it and that feature is pretty cool. you can also find some pretty good combo's on this thing and its interesting every time you turn a knob. ALSO get a headphone splitter if you plan to record the sounds because once you plug it into your microphone jack you can hear hat your playing, this way you can hear and record it. Belkin Speaker and Headphone Splitter Overall a really great buy for the beginner and maybe even a professional who would like something to carry around and make sounds on. Really Fun, Very Portable, Great Device Korg!
