I have one. Its nice and the filter is absolutely amazing. There are some crazy circuit bending projects for it out there.
Yeah I might get one it’s so cheap for a pretty fat sound!
There’s a few hacks out there and can see there being a lot more. I like that sh/t
I’ve also seen a sequencer hooked up to it. Cool stuff
Its on my shopping list but not that high up
I was given 1 for christmas and i love it, i called past a m8’s house on christmas day and he got 1 as well :D, we linked them up and the nasty fatness of them both is unreal, big kudos to korg for trying to put analogue synthesis into the hands of everyone, i recommend getting a stylus to use with it, my daughters DS stylus works great…
If you haven’t seen this Monotron vid yet check it out…
Zombie Nation summer jam on Korg Monotron - YouTube
SRY hyper link not workin for me
Hmm just found this - reckon i’m going too get one soon
[hr]
My only concern having not heard it live is that it’s just gonna sound like a toy, but this is a proper analogue synth isn’t it?
Reminds me of the tb303 in many ways. Cheap and fat sounding
If your not shy with a soldering iron you could have loads of fun with this

It def doesn’t sound like a toy, when you start to layer recorded parts it’s massive
I highly recommend it
have you seen the Poll on musicradar
What do you wish for in 2011?

A Tony hasn’t changed. I used to work with him years ago on CU Amiga.

Even cheaper if you can solder
That looks very interesting, going by my xoxbox experience I would like to buy a prebuilt one !
am I the only person who thinks this sounds like total sh!te?
Not to us tech heads Wayne
it thought it sounds cool but yeah for your stuff wayne probably not
last thing i need right now is ANOTHER project
i have a few pieces of equipment that i bought and rarely used. This would probably would be one of them , probably just play with it for the fun seems so interesting
I’m off to Guitar Center…
Btw I got the monotron in the end “fat little beast”
It really shouldn’t sound the way it does being as it is so cheap
Sonic State Looks at the Korg Monotribe - but for 280 euros maybe a little steep

That looks cool… He got some pretty interesting stuff out if it quickly, didnt he?
I saw the teaser ads for it & expected a full size-ish synth… Great way of getting 60quid out of ya… then 280… then 500… then XXXXX :)
