Im known as the one who carries his synth everywhere he goes and its a really great device. As a single instrument you can make some really good sound effects. However it doesnt have enough on it to create a excision or skrillex sound but definetly something like deadmau5 or Mord Fustang is achievable on this. The fact it isnt a midi is something that not everyone likes but i actually prefer to have it with the aux jacks because im an on budget person and have some mild Daw's and Music creator 6 cant really make a electro or dubstep beat. You can run a song through it and play sounds over it and that feature is pretty cool. you can also find some pretty good combo's on this thing and its interesting every time you turn a knob. ALSO get a headphone splitter if you plan to record the sounds because once you plug it into your microphone jack you can hear hat your playing, this way you can hear and record it. Belkin Speaker and Headphone Splitter Overall a really great buy for the beginner and maybe even a professional who would like something to carry around and make sounds on. Really Fun, Very Portable, Great Device Korg! Review: Baby Synthe Comes Home - Korg and Electro Harmonics . The only company that manufactured synthesizers that were fun like toys and could hands-on tweak oscillating frequencies to your heart content. Life expectancy in ponderous, as I can amplify this little monster through my computer speakers aux in. It sounds great,like a real instrument with headphones on, and I haven't figured out how to play it through my board of shame.(studio inputs) It clips annoyingly if you don't control the sound, but it has a lot of sound for a teeny tiny Ribbon synthesizer, which I refuse to play it as a ribbon synthe. It's got a choice of scale modes and a glissando (that's what we used to call it) like an air raid siren. It's tinny tiny output speaker is next to useless, so I plan on burning the batteries up and running it to death while I can. My Electro Harmonics Mini Synthe didn't last a year. But that was 1982 and I have learned not to play out with my equipment. Even in the studio, I take better care of my stuff, but nothing lasts forever. I give it six months in my capable hands. ## Features - Enhances your Monotron Duo with additional control and sound shaping capabilities - Compact and lightweight design for easy transport and integration - Provides extra modulation options for more dynamic and complex sounds - Simple and intuitive interface for quick and easy adjustments - Adds versatility to your Monotron Duo setup for creative sound exploration - Durable construction ensures long-lasting use and reliability - Perfect for expanding the functionality of your Monotron Duo synthesizer - Affordable accessory that significantly boosts your synthesizer's potential - Ideal for both beginners and experienced musicians looking to experiment - Includes necessary connections for seamless integration with your Monotron Duo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00684KFFW | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,884 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #49 in DJ Mixers | | Body Material | Carbon Fiber | | Brand Name | KORG | | Color | standart | | Connector Type | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (764) | | Finish Type | Gemalt | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04959112089679 | | Included Components | with case | | Item Dimensions | 6.4 x 1.6 x 9.2 inches | | Item Type Name | Mixer Accessory | | Item Weight | 0.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Korg USA Inc. | | Material | Kohlefaser | | Model Name | MONOTRONDUO | | Model Number | MONOTRONDUO | | Part Number | MONOTRONDUO | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KORG - **Color:** standart - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.4 x 1.6 x 9.2 inches - **Material:** Kohlefaser - **Model Name:** MONOTRONDUO ## Images ![monotron DUO Analog Ribbon Synthesizer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KeXpx6NdL.jpg) ## 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) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME! *by T***0 on March 15, 2012* I love everything about this synthesizer.

The Monotron duo is awesome. It's about the size of an old audio cassette case. The knobs are responsive, but a little wobbly. The ribbon is great - very responsive, and it's easy to use. You can make some fun and funky sounds with this. There's a little button on the left shoulder of the unit that selects between continuous and several quantized modes. The two oscillators are controlled with a pitch knob (labeled VCO1), and the second oscillator is tuned relative to VCO1 with the VCO2 knob. This actually caused great frustration for me, because they were not perfectly in-tune on my unit when the VCO2 knob was straight up and down - it had to be a little bit to the left. This no doubt has to do with the analog circuitry and cheapness of the product, but the imperfection was annoying enough that I sent it back. The VCF sounds fantastic, and the cross modulation knob adds a lot of character to the sound. For those who have seen the original Monotron, you'll notice that there's no LFO on this unit. You're trading the LFO for the second oscillator and the quantization button. The result is a much more musical machine, but the tradeoff is real. You also get an aux in jack, which allows you to run external audio through the excellent filter. I said this was a "proof-of-concept," and it is - where the concept is, "A ridiculously affordable and fun analog synth that proves people want analog synthesizers, so Korg can go on to make tons more at other price points with different features." It *seems* like this device made other instruments, like the Volca series and the Minilogue, possible. And for that, I am tremendously grateful. And I really like this product. But having returned the unit I purchased, I would not buy another since I purchased the Volca Keys instead. The bottom line is that if you can afford this unit or the Volca Keys, you want the Volca Keys. But this is an excellent toy and a surprisingly fun instrument, if seriously limited in application. ## Frequently Bought Together - Korg monotron DUO Analog Ribbon Synthesizer - Stylophone Beat - Compact Stylus Drum Machine | 4 Drum Kits & 4 Bass Sounds | Rhythm Machine Beat Maker | Drum Loop Machine - co2CREA Hard Case replacement for Korg Monotron Delay Duo Analog Ribbon Synthesizer (Black Case + Orange Zipper) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/1258939-monotron-duo-analog-ribbon-synthesizer](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/1258939-monotron-duo-analog-ribbon-synthesizer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
