Korg puts the thrill of the analog synthesizer into everyone's hands, with the monotron DUO. Go Anywhere Analog: That was the theme behind the remarkable battery-powered and palm-sized Korg analog synthesizer dubbed the monotron. The powerful and fun-to-play Dual Oscillator monotron DUO offers X-MOD capabilities for generating even more extreme sounds. The monotron DUO is equipped with a ribbon keyboard and a live, ready-to-be tweaked front panel offering five knobs and a single switch. This simple operation and ease of use invites hours of enjoyment and musical exploration. Casual users and gadget mavens will quickly enjoy performing melodies, DJs can create dazzling effects on stage, while established players can add analog muscle to their performance -- the possibilities are virtually endless. Grab a monotron and get in touch with the exciting world of Korg analog synths.
