Wow! Great little demo. It sounds like there are multiple synths though -- isn't the monotron monophonic?

- XMPPwocky 6y agoThey are (besides the Monotron Duo, which has a second oscillator (but no way to play it paraphonically without hardware hacking, you can just tune it differently)), but this is the Monotron Delay, which has, well, you can probably figure that out.
- kennywinker 6y agoWhat I'd love to see is if they could use the same tuning system they used here to tune the delay time and make the monotron delay do some kind of karplus strong synthesis! That's assuming there are patch points for the delay time, I guess...
- meatsock 6y agoyou can accomplish this by automating VR6A on pin 6 of the pt2399. one oldschool method to add CV control of a potentiometer is to control the resistance with a vactrol.
- qrv3w 6y agoYeah, the monotron is monophonic. But you're ear is right on because it does sound like multiple synths - I'm actually augmenting the monotron a bit here using another device called the norns [1] with a script I wrote [2] which converts the initial drone note into a drone covering six different pitches at various volumes (sort of a super saw). After that augmented drone you'll hear an arpeggio which is pure monotron (plus its delay which adds a little polyphony as mentioned).
