Common monotron DUO Questions
How do I connect the monotron DUO to my DAW or other MIDI devices?
The monotron DUO uses a 3.5mm TRS Type-A MIDI input. Use a 3.5mm TRS to MIDI DIN adapter cable to connect to standard MIDI ports, and ensure your DAW or other device is configured to send MIDI clock and notes on the correct channel.
Can I save patches or sequences on the monotron DUO?
Unfortunately, the monotron DUO does not have any internal memory for saving patches or sequences. You'll need to manually recreate your sounds and patterns each time you power it on, or record them externally.
What is the function of the 'DUO' switch on the monotron DUO and how does it affect the sound?
The 'DUO' switch activates the second oscillator. When engaged, the second oscillator is added to the first allowing thicker, richer sounds; disengaging leaves only oscillator 1 active for a thinner, simpler tone.
My monotron DUO is making a constant buzzing sound, even when no keys are pressed. What could be causing this?
This is likely due to the filter cutoff being set too high or resonance being too pronounced. Try lowering the filter cutoff and adjusting the resonance to reduce the noise.
How does the monotron DUO's X-MOD (Cross Modulation) feature work and what can I use it for?
The X-MOD feature uses oscillator 2 to modulate the pitch of oscillator 1, creating complex and often unpredictable FM-style sounds. Experiment with different waveforms and LFO settings on oscillator 2 to drastically alter the timbre of oscillator 1.
