I've seen chipocrite use a similar unit live a few times. It ruled.

Damn... beat me to the punch!

Btw, I'm told you can totally sync the cv of this jawn via a drawn waveform (lsdj perhaps?)

No, I don't want to modify the tone, I want to eliminate the hiss.

Gate/Hush might be closer to what you want in tone, there already is a LP filter in the device...

I've been using my Delay lately for guitar and such things. My biggest concern is the terrible hiss it introduces. If I made a hardware LPF, would it solve this? I noticed it also atenuates the external signal for some reason.
One of the things I still don't know and prevents me from trying this is: what cutoff frequency should this filter have? Like, what is the highest audible frequency we still want to listen to?

I used mine in a concert, in last Saturday. When I have any videos with the Korg audible in action (as special FX unit) I'll let You guyz know. But generally I was very content about its work while the gig.

I have them all, and I must say they, along with their bigger brother the monotribe, all rock. Especially with some tidy MIDI mods, then you got your self some serious power, Plug a midi ontroller into them, and get some sick basslines! and even some nice 8 bit melodies. in stock mode, I think the delay and monotribe are the only ones capable of making something without midi, all in all, mod these motherfuckers, korg even said that these were made to mod, get modding

I used to have two of the monotron regular versions. They are difficult to make 'good' use of. The delay version is where its at.

+1 but the delays signal is quite noisy, so yeah perfect for your micro-music needs.

i've been spending some time learning to pitch mine properly by hand/ear cause it sounds cool and you don't hear violinists complain that they don't have a frets :v

it's much easier with a stylus! also, you might need to calibrate the pitch range so that it matches the keyboard more precisely (turn the little screw at the back).

Hehe.

Well, like I suspected - it should be great for concerts, for FX making, as a bank of sounds for samples (for Amiga or ST).
As for playing proper music on it - might be hard.

In some time I'm going to buy all the rest machines from the series.

Greetzzzzz,

OK, meanwhile the Korg came here yesterday.

The funny thing is, I though (judging from the Internet photos) that it's as big as the VHS video-cassette is.
But no! It's much smaller. It's in size or a regular tape-recorder cassette. Ha!

OK, gotta go to test it.
