## Description

monotron DUO is a compact KORG analog synthesizer.

Review: 到着してみて、想像以上に小さかった。 本当に音が鳴るのか不安だったけど、きちんと鳴ってくれた。 そして、その音が鳴るってのがとても楽しい 色々設定みたいなのを変えて遊んでる。 クリティカルな音が出たときには、ちょっと嬉しいって思っちゃうくらい。 これで作曲となると難しいかもしれないけど、いつかはチャレンジしてみたい
Review: シンセは初心者かつdelayは未所持です。 これを中継していろんな音源の音を変えて遊びたいと思ったんですが、ダイレクトに影響するのはcutoffとpeakだけなんですかね。でもこれをいじるだけでも安物テルミンの音が多少柔らかくなったので満足です。 単体でいろんな音を作るのも楽しい。特撮とかの効果音ちっくな音を作れます。 出せる音階は一見狭いですが、鍵盤側じゃなくてpitchノブをいじって演奏すればそこそこ広い音階が出せそう。この場合音階調整が無段階かつかなりシビアになりますが…。 鍵盤側を音が出るように固定してpitchで音階調整しつつその他のノブをいじって音作りとかすると、なんか面白いことができそうな気もします。 サイズも文庫本の半分くらいでお手軽で良いですね。

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How would I go about hooking this up to a DAW?**
A: If you have a Behringer mixer, you would have to hook this up to your mixer via an analog input- that is, either a channel strip using line-in or a stereo/mono input, or 2-track RCA input.

If you have the Behringer Q302usb mixer, you can chain the Main Outs (red and white RCA jacks) to the monotron by running an RCA to 3.5 mm stereo cable or adapter from the Monotron, then run the headphone out of the monotron back to another RCA input on that same mixer with an identical cable, or to another mixers RCA 2-track in. If you have a different Behringer mixer that has 1/4" jacks, you'll need a cable to go from the Monotron to a 1/4" jack.

Basically you're going to need a cable or adapter to go from the Monotron's 3.5 mm headphone out stereo jack to either another 3.5 mm jack, 1/4" jack, or RCA jacks.

**Q: how can i hear one play before i buy?**
A: Search for "Korg Monotron Duo" on YouTube. Here is Korg's official video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilSWwjuRrhw

**Q: what cord do i need to hook it up too a amp? and also what kind of mic?**
A: It uses a 3.5mm (like a headphone/aux cable for a phone) jack for both input and output. If you want to adapt it to studio gear you'll need 2 converters from that to 1/4". The jacks are pretty close together though, if you're hooking up something like that, it might not fit - and you might be better off using a guitar delay pedal or some other delay intended for 1/4" use.

**Q: Someone stated that this does not have a speaker output.  Can anyone suggest an inexpensive synthesizer that does have a speaker connection?**
A: The Korg Duo Monotron does not have an integral speaker, but it does have an output for stereo headphones (1/8" jack) that can also be used for an output controlled by the volume control for a male 1/8" stereo  jack connector to a male 1/4" mono jack for input to a standard guitar amplifier (male/male) patch cord. I use a 36" patch cord from the Monotron to the  guitar amplifier input. (not mono/mono). There is also an aux jack input (1/8" stereo jack) for connecting a CD or MP3 player. (a 1/8"male/male stereo patch cord is useful for the aux jack input)
