Korg Monotron Duo Analog Ribbon Synth

The Korg Monotron Duo is a compact, battery-powered analogue synthesiser that fits in the palm of your hand, allowing you to build sounds and tones, adding layers to your creations.

With its intuitive ribbon controller, straightforward 5-knob and 1-switch design, and dual oscillators, it delivers bold, powerful tones perfect for live shows, studio sessions, or experimenting on the go.

Dual Oscillator Power

Equipped with two oscillators, the Monotron Duo can produce anything from thick, layered analogue tones to sharp, edgy leads.

When tuned together, the sound is warm and full, while setting them apart creates dynamic solo voices and fresh sonic textures. The X-MOD cross modulation circuit adds further depth, ranging from smooth vibrato effects to metallic, FM-style tones with an aggressive bite.

Expressive Ribbon Controller

The built-in ribbon keyboard controller makes playing simple and expressive. Its Scale function offers four modes: Chromatic, Major, Minor, or Off.

Whether you want precise piano-like notes or easy melodic phrases by sliding your finger, the ribbon controller gives you effortless musical expression.

Classic Korg Analogue Filter

One of the highlights of the Korg Monotron Duo synth is its analogue VCF filter, inherited from the legendary Korg MS-10 and MS-20 semi-modular synths. The VCF Cutoff knob shapes the frequency of the sound, while the VCF Peak control boosts resonance for added emphasis.

This iconic filter enables dramatic tone shaping, imparting a distinctive, potent edge to every sound that cuts through live performances and recordings.

Patchable Filter for External Sounds

Thanks to its AUX input, the Monotron Duo can process external audio sources through its analogue filter.

Plug in a guitar, Kaossilator, or digital music player, and transform them with sweeping filter effects. This makes the Duo more than just a mini-synth; it’s also a versatile sound processor.

Portable Analogue Sound

Designed for portability, the Korg Monotron Duo features a built-in speaker and operates on batteries, allowing you to jam anywhere: at home, in the studio, or on the go. Use the headphone output for private practice, recording, or connecting to an amplifier or PA system for live performance.
