RISE OF THE MONOTRONS COMPETITION

Posted on Wed 06 November 2013 in Uncategorized

If you own a Korg Monotron/Monotribe compact analogue synth or are thinking about bagging one (or more) before the end of the year, then Korg want to hear what you can do with it/them! To be more specific, Korg want you to use your Monotron(s) and/or Monotribe to make some unique sound effects and/or background music. The best entries will be used to create the soundtrack and FX for a computer game 'mash-up video', due for release early next year.

Entries must be submitted no later than 31st December 2013 and the most exciting part is that the person who makes the best mini-sound library (as judged by Korg) will receive a special 50th anniversary MicroKorg Gold*!

* Please note that the MicroKorg Gold isn't made of actual gold!

WHAT IS THE MONOTRON/MONOTRIBE?

Both the Monotron and Monotribe are compact, affordable, true analogue synths with ribbon keyboards and a selection of hands-on controls for sculpting your sound. They also feature audio inputs for routing external sounds through their pure analogue filter!

The Monotron range (all currently available for less than £35) is made up of the original Monotron, the Monotron Delay (with built-in analogue tape echo) and the Monotron Duo (with a second analogue oscillator).

The Monotribe is essentially a Monotron with more features and hands-on controls. It adds 3-part analogue drums and a step sequencer, giving an extra dimension to the instrument.

All Monotrons and the Monotribe have an awesome true analogue sound and are extremely hands-on and fun to play with.
