MONOTRONDUO 0-Key Dual Oscillator Analog Pocket Synthesizer, multi-colored

Good

volume is very low. features are good.

Muy buen producto para usarlo incluso en estudio de grabación.

Zero learning curve, just put the batteries in and start messing around! The design is simple to understand and looks sleek, while the device itself is pretty light this is definitely not a toy. These are great for someone interested in music production, sampling, or just having fun by making sounds. If you have a kid with a passion for music or electronics I think this is a great investment because It’s a cheap and available way to be introduced to the fun of making music! There are endless possibilities to what you can do with this device and use it with, I especially like how easily the device can be disassembled and modded because of the open solder pads! I highly recommend you give this little guy a shot.

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

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 :)

You can tune the oscillators to make some pretty fat signals. It's tricky but possible. Also the pitch of osc 2 increases the xmod rate even if it's set to only run one oscillator which is pretty cool. There's a ton of sounds you can make with this. Super smooth risers with the potentiometer strip. Basses and modulated effects. If you plug this into your daw and tinker with it you can slice some good samples. It's limited in what it can do outside of that but it is 100% usable for making interesting music.
