Analog synthesis on the go!
Powered by two AAA alkaline batteries, you can hold the compact Monotron with one hand. So you can concentrate on the most important sound parameters. There are five knobs and one switch on the panel. Anyone can now create in the world of analogue synthesizers.
Ribbon Keyboard Controller
Monotron has taken the simple touch controls from the extremely popular KAOSS PAD. With just a flick of your finger you can produce expressive effects such as vibrato and glide.
Using semi-modular technology
As with the original MS-20, you can "merge" the monotron filter so that any external sound source can be processed by the monotron filter. An input jack (AUX) in the monotron's compact body adds the AUX input signal directly in front of the VCF block. This gives you a great way to plug a KAOSSILATOR, guitar or digital audio player into the monotron and take advantage of sound editing with filter or delay effects.
The versatile LFO offers audio - and visual - fun!
You can switch the LFO so it controls the oscillator pitch or filter threshold frequency. The LFO Rate and LFO Intensity knobs are also found here. Rotate the LFO Rate knob - equipped with an LED - to adjust the modulation rate, and the LED's blink rate will change accordingly. By turning the knob, you can add a higher level of impact during live playing.
Listen anytime - alone or with friends
The Monotron has a built-in miniature speaker and only two AAA batteries are needed to power it. Despite its miniature size, this system brings new possibilities for playing. There's also a headphone output that you can use when making sounds at home, when recording, or when plugged into an amplifier or PA system.
