Product Description

A good delay was an essential part of the classic analog synthesizer sound. More often than not, that delay came from a tape-style echo machine until affordable digital delays were created. The monotron delay is an analog synthesizer optimized for sound effects. In addition to its analog oscillator, filter, and LFO, it also provides a space delay that's indispensable for swooping, cosmic sounds. The monotron delay even reproduces the pitch changes that occur when you vary The delay time, just as though you were using an analog tape echo. This fat and warm delay will add an authentic edge to your analog sounds! Wide-range ribbon keyboard The monotron Delay's ribbon controller keyboard features a wide, four-octave range. This design allows the pitch to be controlled even more aggressively and dynamically, making the monotron delay a great weapon for a DJ to get the floor moving with irresistible sound. The reversed white keys and body adornments glows under black light illumination, making the monotron delay ideal for delivering a striking visual impact in nearly any club environment. Features: space delay with rate and intensity controls offers analog-style echoes new pitch LFO with selectable waveshape and intensity and shape controls vcf with cutoff control wide-range ribbon controller keyboard original analog (vcf) filter taken from the classic ms-10 & ms-20 aux input jack lets you apply filter to any audio source built-in speaker and battery power for go anywhere analog sound headphone jack for private use.

24 customers mention24 positive0 negative

Customers like the filter of the musical instruments. They mention that it's awesome, powerful, and versatile. They also appreciate the low-pass, cutoff, and resonant filters. The aux input has a classic MS20 filter, and it can be used as a filter box for external sounds. Some say that the filter on this little box is evil.

"...The low end is pretty cool to play with...." Read more

55 customers mention37 positive18 negative

Customers are mixed about the portability of the musical instruments. Some mention it's extremely portable, light weight, and compact. They say it'll fit in their pocket and is great to use as a small, affordable delay effect to add to an instrument. However, others say that it'd be better suited for a child's pocket. The size of the keys makes it difficult to perform songs, and the length of the scale prevents it from being accurate.

"...And it's great to use as a small, affordable delay effect to add to an instrument -- especially something like a Volca or something similar where..." Read more

"...I found it, and my first impression was "THIS IS small!". It fits in the palm of my hand. Yeah, I have big hands, sort of...." Read more

"...Downside(s): -Like I said, it is kind of small, and I am worried that its plastic body may eventually break, but I suppose that just..." Read more

"...with you and show that person what it can do, since it can easily fit in your pocket." Read more

Neat little gadget
4 Stars
Neat little gadget
Pretty cool little gadget, however my 6 year old daughter wasn't impressed at all. So I wouldn't advise buying for younger kids, I wouldn't buy for anyone that didn't show a clear interest in sound design. That being said, I bought this for myself just cause something about it fascinated me. Perhaps the size or portability drew me in. But after many month with this device I can say don't expect this to be a compositional tool for building songs. It's more of a novelty item I suppose. While it can produce some neat & trippy sounds, then only actual practical use for this gadget in terms of production is hooking it up in an effects chain on some other sound generator.Even though this costs much less than the korg volcas, I still can't help but feel like it's still a bit over-priced since basically everything it can do is limited in one way or another. I can't imagine this thing costing more than $3 or $4 to manufacture per unit. For a ~$50 price point it really should come with a few extra features, or actually be playable in an arrangement. If nothing else it should have some type of usb connection for some computer or tablet integration. But since that isn't the case, & this is what we get take it or leave it, I feel strongly that this should retail for about $20, or no more than $30. When I made this purchase I already considered a 75% chance that I would feel this way after buying, so with that in mind & my expectations at a reasonable & logical level towards this gadget I don't feel to bitter about feeling this purchase. I still hope for a day when this thing will be a perfect unexpected answer for part of a jam that I'm working on one day, but until that day it's rather cemented as a neat novelty.Hope this helps someone else out there.
