It's got a huge palette of synth sounds, including a bunch of upgrades from the already fantastic Monotron: multiple wave shapes, multiple LFO wave shapes, combination pitch and filter, key lock mode, etc. This is my first drum sequencer and I am completely enamored with it. It's a little difficult to use well (it's a complex device), but understanding the device will lead to great results. The only downside that I've come across is that the drum sounds aren't variable at all. The high hat is a little weak, and the analogue snare sound doesn't sound great to a lot of people. There's also some weirdness with the synth in play mode, but I think this is due to an incomplete understanding of the gate and/or flux functions on my part. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to start playing with a drum sequencer, anyone who loved the Monotron but wanted more, or synthophiles looking to get relatively cheap analogue gear. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Best piece of gear I've bought this year - THANK YOU, KORG!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Korg Monotribe Electribe Style Analog Drums & Synthesizer (Electronics) A fully-analog oscillator with 8 step sequencer, LFO, MS20 filter, in/out sync (and an iphone app to sync to midi), quarter inch out, built-in speaker, ribbon controlled keyboard with full octave range. Oh Monotribe - where have you been all my life? Been playing with this thing for a week and it's AWESOME. Creates nasty sub bass, pulsating analog basslines, nasty 303 sounding acid. Syncs with Maschine via an iPhone app and I am recording sequences that are synced and it sounds wicked. You can mod the heck out of these things as well. Voids your warranty but the circuit board inside actually has notes on the board for places to solder and add modulators. It was built to tweak. I haven't opened mine up - perfectly satisfied with the sounds it's making. Not for everyone.. but lovers of techno, dubstep, acid house and the like will geek for the sound. I love it. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Very pleased, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Korg Monotribe Electribe Style Analog Drums & Synthesizer (Electronics) I love this machine.a real analog synthesizer with very basic drums.u must use creativity from avoiding getting bored with the machine.no midi unless u go inside the machine.but over all a great real analog from the old school plus korg just released a schematics blueprint of more drums that u can google.this is a very live hands on synth so now I can make those dark side of moon type sounds and zone out to real analog flavor and a real inexpensive synth |
