Common Korg Monotron Questions
Can I connect the Monotron to my computer or other MIDI devices for control?
No, the Monotron does not have MIDI input or output. It relies solely on its ribbon controller and knobs for interaction.
How do I save or load sound presets on the Korg Monotron?
The Korg Monotron is a purely analog synthesizer and does not have any preset saving capabilities. You must manually recreate sounds each time.
What do the LFO Rate and Intensity knobs do, and how do they affect the sound?
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) modulates the pitch of the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator); Rate controls the speed of the modulation, and Intensity controls the depth or strength of the modulation effect.
My Monotron is making a constant buzzing sound, even when I'm not touching the ribbon. What could be the problem?
This is often due to low batteries or a weak power supply; try replacing the batteries or using a different power adapter with the correct voltage and polarity (9V center negative).
What is the AUX input for, and how can I use it creatively?
The AUX input allows you to run external audio signals through the Monotron's filter and delay; experiment by connecting drum machines, vocals, or other instruments to add unique analog filtering and effects.
