The Korg monotron DELAY is an analogue synthesiser and effects unit from the monotron family. This pocket-sized synthesiser generates magnificent space delay and echo effects using its built-in VCO. Furthermore, thanks to its battery operation and built-in speaker, the monotron DELAY is flexible and portable. The synthesiser features a ribbon controller that serves as a keyboard and just a few other controls: five knobs and a switch are all you need to embark on hours of musically inspiring exploration. This makes the Space Delay ideal for beginners and analogue experts alike. DJs can incorporate effects live, and even seasoned musicians can use the monotron models to add some analogue ‘oomph’ to their performances – the possibilities are virtually endless.
A good delay was an important component of sound generation in the era of classic analogue synthesisers. This was usually generated by tape echoes until the first digital delays became affordable. The Korg monotron DELAY is an analogue synthesiser designed for sound effects. In addition to its analogue oscillator, filter and LFO, it is equipped with a Space Delay – an indispensable tool when it comes to creating outlandish sounds. The Delay also emulates the pitch shifts that occur when the delay time is varied – just as was the case with analogue tape echoes. With the monotron DELAY, you can add that finishing touch of authenticity and character to your songs.
Korg Monotron delayThis is a drone beast.
Very powerful sound, 100% analog and the famous Ms filter, only this makes the money.
But its not all, you have a line in to connect other
instruments and pass them true the filter and the the delay.
I compare the sound to Venom and Virus and the analog circuit of the Monotron its real amazing, very punchy.
It can make the most amazing drones, very space atmosphere, nothing could compare to this at this price, and with a litlle soldering you coud have CV in and Out, vey andy.
The downside its that its only one Oscillator and it makes background noise wen you have the filter all open.
Dont have control over the ressonance.
I use my monotron as a filter and delay "pedal" with a casio keybord to add some dynamics and flavour to the sound and it works fine, althought it also adds a lot of noise to the sound. I was looking for a lo-fi kind of sound anyway, so its not a very big deal to me.
As a stand alone synth it as a very good quality sound and is very fun to play with. Dont wait to compose melodies with the monotron, this synth is just for glitchy noises and abstract sounds. I love the noise jams with it! A guaranteed future classic mini-synth!
Korg are kings anyway no matter what they do...here they surprise us again with a tiny but fat sounding analogue synth...not many buttons to play with but whats there makes tons of cool noizes...coupled with the space echo type delay you got yourself a ticket for space and dont have to pay tons of cash to Virgin...get this unit, you ll be happy, take it on the bus [headphone out] send an mp3 player to the input, totally worth it, i want the other ones from this series !!!
Is the first time I buy this and I am very satisfied!!! I strongly recommend this!!!!!!!!!!!!! has a very good price and good quality!!!!!! I will use this with joy!!!!
Many thanks the team for the support!!!!
Et c'est pas un défaut de mon point de vue. Je pense juste que c'était utile de préciser pour ceux qui éspère trouver une pédale d'effet analog de delay.
Le btuit à son charme.
Le clavier est injouable même avec mes petits doigts.
Pour faire des sons de l'espace c'est pas génant.
C'est plus de domaine de la bricole. Franchement rigolo de jouer avec en écoutant sa musique.
Et pour faire un effet delay un peu noisy sur n'importe lequel de vos instruments...Il montre une certaine utilité.
Le son qui sort de cette petite bricole est franchement pas degueu :)
