Review: Who said retro was bad? - Small, travels great to anywhere. But that's not why your reading this. This little gem sounds great, delving into cool retro synth sounds. Using it doesn't require a massive knowledge of synthesizers. It's so incredibly fun. I own to 2 as a strange matter of fact. I did some left field work recording both on separate tracks, bounced them down and layered more. This is a great thing to have. The value is perfect for this kind of thing so get it now. ..............Donnie P
Review: More fun than you should be allowed to have at this price! - The Monotron Delay is tremendous fun, and I use it in a lot of different ways. It's great to throw in my purse and noodle around on when I have time -- it takes up almost no space, which is perfect. It's great to add as an FX instrument when I jam -- it gives great sci fi or other kinds of sounds to add to a mix, and adds something really distinctive. 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 the instrument's portable and you're already using a 1/8" jack, where it's going to be easier to deal with than a pedal effect. One good/bad thing depending on what you want is that the delay isn't a pristine digital effect -- there's some grittiness there and higher pitches will die off over time instead of being perfectly preserved. But this is pretty much by design -- perfect digital effects are available in many places if you want them, and this is intended to have a distinctive sound more like an old tape delay. I'm certainly not an expert in all the things this can do, but if you're not used to playing around with delay effects, it's pretty versatile. You can just put a decaying echo after everything, or you can turn up the feedback until it repeats everything rhythmically over time. Which is to say, you can use it as a sort of looper, though the high end will decay before long. If you can dial in sounds you like, you can even turn it into a weird sort of drum machine, repeating percussive sounds per measure or per quarter note, depending on the time interval you set. Also, like a tape delay, you can mess with the pitch as it's repeating by twisting the time knob, which yields some cool effects depending on what you're repeating. In my opinion, this is the best pocket instrument out there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The other extreme end of synths, size-wize
*by B***R on March 25, 2011*

Back in the 1960s, you were faced with these giant modular Moogs. You heard them wherever Paul Beaver was involved, like in the Monkees (Aquarius, Pisces, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.) and the Turtles ("You Showed Me"). Also Simon & Garfunkel recorded "Save the Life of My Child", which the Moog was programmed by none other than Robert Moog. This beast was also featured on the Beatles' Abbey Road, and Keith Emerson used it extensively with Emerson, Lake & Palmer in the early '70s. And we can never forget Wendy Carlos' Switched-On Bach from 1968, which inspired a mass-market flood of similarly-themed classical Moog albums up until about 1972. Tomita also made extensive use of the Modular Moog in the mid to late '70s when other musicians were turning to more portable synths like the Minimoog and ARP Odyssey. In 1970 you had the ARP 2500, a boxy modular synth with lots of knobs, matrix pins, and additional modules and even keyboards. This monster was featured on Close Encounters of the Third Kind to communicate with the aliens, but with a modified cabinet to make it look like a glorified organ. ARP realized they needed a more user-friendly version, so came the ARP 2600, and a little later, the Odyssey. Now technology has came where you can own a synth on the very extreme opposite end from the modular Moog and ARP 2500. A handheld, pocket synth from Korg called the Monotron! Powers on two "AAA" batteries, it's all you really need to power such a small thing. I am really blown away with it. Certainly, it doesn't feature a standard keyboard, it features a ribbon controller, but I love the sound effects and features it can do. It's extremely basic, but that's what I expect from something this small, but I found it so much more interesting than those cheesy battery-powered toy keyboards I received as a Christmas present as a kid. It has a headphone jack so you can hear it through your headphones, or hook it through an external audio source. There's also an auxiliary jack so you can get an external sound playing through the Monotron, like another synth or a Walkman (be it cassette or CD) and you can alter the sounds through the VCF filters. It's also really easy to create that synth intro to Steve Miller's "Jungle Love" on the Monotron. Perhaps the most interesting sound I was able to create off it was the sound of a catfight! In essence, the Monotron is a glorified Stylophone (minus the wand, you just use your fingers, or an object like a pen would work just fine if you wanted a wand), with real synth features! Unlike your regular synths you keep at home, if you run across a synth junkie while out in town, you can bring your Monotron with you and show that person what it can do, since it can easily fit in your pocket.
