Monotron - my thoughts...
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 3:50 am
Grabbed one today to put in my fx chain...
Here're my thoughts:
Pros:
- classic filter sound
- audio input
- LFO top speed
Cons:
- knobs are very small so precise changes are hard
- LFO is only a down-ramp shape.. was expecting triangle/sine
- pitch pot could've been switched for a 3-way (or 4) octave switcher
Conclusion:
I'm gonna mod it.
It also makes you wonder - why cant they make a 2xosc, 2x env, LFO, LPF semi modular synth for less than $400? people would go crazy and they'd still make a killing.
