Korg Monotribe: Analogue Ribbon Station

Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe

In a world seemingly ruled bythe  digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Today, Korg’s next analog innovation came in the form of the monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology. -monotribe shares the monotron’s analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style step sequencing. Complete with built-in speakers and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable, able to deliver your ideas with style and personality.

The powerful sound of true analog synthesis, Korg’s analogue renaissance continues with the Monotribe groovebox:

3-part analog drums, using discrete analog circuitry

Popular Electribe-style sequencing

Active Step and Flux features for realtime dynamic loop manipulation

Advanced multi-function ribbon keyboard; Chromatic, Continuous, & Wide modes

Auto-tuning provides stable pitch for accurate chromatic playability

Selectable oscillator waveform, noise generator, and versatile LFO

Uses the same VCF (filter) circuit as the classic MS-10/MS-20 Sync In & Out jacks allows synchronized integration with multiple units

Battery operation, built-in speaker and compact size deliver on-the-go groove-making

This is a machine that truly allows for advanced analog synthesising, and is a great attempt to reconnect with the pre-digital music age of electronic production.
