Korg Monotron Keyboard Synthesizer

best. toy. EVER!

I wish I was a kid. I had a ribbon synth toy when I was little (around 1990), and the Monotron Delay is the evolution of that toy. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome tool, but its real shining glory is carrying it around in your purse or car or pocket and being able to play whenever you have a free moment. I love using mine while driving instead of the radio (not recommended)! You can hook up external speakers or headphones (or output to other instruments), but the internal speaker works great, too. The Delay is my favorite Monotron and packs hours/days/years of fun into a portable and affordable package that's perfect for kids or adults. It's hard to put down, which leads to the only downside - other people do not seem to take the pleasure in hearing it that you will in playing it..! Solitude or headphones recommended.Read full review

Great little device.

I highly recommend it with one small caveat; it doesn't have a line level output, so plugging it into something else is going to require a preamp or something along those lines. With headphones the thing sounds wicked. Running external audio through the aux port is pretty cool on this as well and you can get some sounds of from the delay and feedback that are really similar to the EP-103 delay pedal. For some fun turn up the cutoff so you can hear treble and crank the feedback. Back off of the feedback a bit and then turn down the cutoff to get that deep rumbling spaceship sound. You may have to press a key, but after you get it going in a session you can do this over and over and never get the same results twice. It's a fun little device. It does have a lot of background hiss, so anything you're going to do with it from a serious recording standpoint is going to need a little cleanup. The input and output are both stereo though. Glad I bought it, might hack it and add a line level output to use it for recording. You also might want to add a little padding to the back of the battery door, as the thing shakes around you can hear the batteries smack the back. The little built-in speaker has no bass, so don't get disappointed when you first play a note on it. Plug it into something amplified and let `er rip.Read full review

See the sound with Korg

Korg in most part has good instruments at a good price. So the value is more than what U pay. The sounds are INCREDIBLE and do not let the size fool U. This mini war-machine R O C K S. I have added this 2 my studio and have been very pleased with the features and sounds.

A 5 star instrument.

Lots of fun and sound in a little package

First thing that struck me about this is you don't realize how small it is until you're holding it. But the other thing is, you a get A LOT of different sounds out of such a small package with such minimal controls. Not only is it musically useful, it's a lot of fun to play with.
I love it!!Read full review

This thing is far more rad than I imagined, and at the same time it's exactly what I thought it would be. It has an aux input that is brilliant for applying the monotron's cutoff filter and delay to other gear (which is why I wanted one in the first place). The ribbon keyboard is surprisingly fun to mess around with, and with the feedback dimed the vco self–oscillates and makes some wild sounds. For like forty bucks hell yeahRead full review

Fun little thing! It drones and definitely can do kicks surprisingly. Works very well to. This plus the Delay monotron, can probably create some amazing sounds.
