Korg launches two new Monotrons, Duo and Delay

Every so often, something comes along that’s just irresistibly lovable. So it was with the Korg monotron. With a price of US$60 (or far less), a pocketable size, the ability to run on batteries, a nice, glowing red LFO knob, a delicious filter, and toy-like playability, everyone loves the monotron. People who have racks of vintage synths love the monotron. People who have never seen a synth before love the monotron.

The Dual Oscillator monotron DUO offers X-MOD capabilities for generating even more extreme sounds, while the monotron DELAY have been created with a Space Delay that can produce intense, analog-like echo effects allowing DJ’s and casual users to create some amazing effects. Watch the video after the jump to see both the Korg Duo And Delay Monotrons in action.
