Korg Monotribe

The Korg Synthesizer Monotribe is a high quality Synthesizer and presents a powerful sound. The Korg monotribe – bringing responsive realtime control to analog groove-making.
Today seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized Monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. The Monotribe is a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body. Korg’s Monotribe shares the monotron’s analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. Also the Monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with a built-in speaker and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable.
