Also while we're on a stupidly insane Gakken tip - this is another one of their kits, about the size of a ukelelehttp://www.verycoolthings.com/vct/images/405605732X.jpg

does anyone know what leads are usable with the Gakken?
No idea, but the sockets look as though they are 3.5mm - whether they're mono or stereo I can't tell.

just came here to post about the korg monotron... ms-20 vcf and external audio input (minijack tho unfortunately) has got me pretty excited

can't imagine wanting to use it as a tone generator though
Another demo herehttp://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/musikmesse-2010-korg-monotron-video-demo-241346...the Korg demonstrator lets rip a bit more this time.Various blogs are saying May and 50 euros but nothing offical yet.

i want all of the monotrons. do any of them have an infinite sustain setting where you could just set a chord and have it play on until you stop it?
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
can you play chords on any of the monotrons?
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
oh duh. i guess i could run it through a looper and build chords that way.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
i have an o.g. monotron, i think it'll play for as long as you're touching the ribbon, but there's not a sustain setting (on that one at least).
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
oh cool, it looks like you can set the newer ones to lock to pitches (chromatic/major/minor) rather than having to get the intonation just right on the ribbon.

must say despite owning much more gear now that i still enjoy running a finger over the monotrons now and then. the dual-osc one into the delay one, or a Buddha machine into the delay one were particularly sweet.

Seems like the Korg NTS-1 fits in this thread:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61PjqJ8cRecThere's a DIY element like the Gakken, in that you have to assemble it yourself. It's got a ribbon controller like the Monotrons. Also it's small (although it's powered over USB not batteries but you could use an external USB battery pack).
