Pas forcément non. Pour moi l'évolution la plus logique et vraisemblable serait un petit clavier mono type microKorg. Si déjà ils ont ça dans les cartons Et je suis persuadé que leur labo bosse déjà sur un concept dans cet esprit, ils ont mis le doigt dessus, ils ont (enfin) capté l'angouement analo. Le Monotron est un succès, le Monotribe est plein de promesses, il y a donc un marché, des profits à faire là dessus, ils vont pas se gêner ! Quelle époque formidable

Certes mais n'oublions peut-être pas ce qui arrive en ce moment à ces malheureux japonais, cela peut considérablement freiner les prochaines sorties de la marque ou remettre en cause certains projets dont un micro clavier analogique (j'y crois également dur comme fer).

Je marquais ici mon exaspération de voir l'attachement qu'à Pluto 4 à faire la même "blague" de façon récurrente (voir sa signature et ses autres posts).
Pour en revenir au korg Monotribe, je trouve que c'est une bien jolie machine. Ne reste plus qu'à voir le prix (sous la barre des 175$ ?) et entendre quelques démos. Rien encore sur les specs du filtre ? (même s'il semblerait logique qu'ils ai gardé celui du MS20).
sencha a écrit :Je ne comprends pas trop pourquoi Korg se cantonne uniquement au côté gadget-jouet-cheap du concept Monotron. C'est dommage je trouve...
On ne demande pas forcément un clavier 5 octaves et 15000 potards mais au-moins la possibilité de s'en servir avec un clavier midi ou CV/gate, histoire d'avoir quelques sensations à-la-MS-20 sous les doigts et de régaler ses feuilles avec ce délicieux filtre légendaire !
Mais bon, total respect malgré tout pour le courage de Korg surtout si on compare à l'audace actuelle de Roland...
nous sommes sur la même longueur d'onde.
mais une petite, toute petite prise midi in aurait quand même été bienvenue.
mais en fait, ça va être quoi les parties "rythm" d'après vous ? Du sample, du noise, le synthé ??? comprends pas encore J'aurais bien aimé qu'ils gardent un hp et les piles, c'est cool dans le lit avant le dodo...(oui, je suis célibataire )
— Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe - In a world seemingly ruled by digital, Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Today, Korg once again takes up the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body.
Korg's monotribe shares the monotron's analog DNA, yet quickly delves deeper into the rich, organic, and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis, monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section, plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with built-in speakers and battery power, monotribe is self-contained and highly portable, able to deliver your ideas with style and personality.
True Analog Synthesis
The monotribe's sound engine uses technology old and new, merging the powerful sound of analog synthesis with the dexterity and playability required in today's groove making environments. Analog technology is essential for fast and responsive control, and delivers the full sonic spectrum from warm and easy-going to full-throttle rampage.
Three-Part Analog Drums
The monotribe provides a three-part rhythm section powered by discrete analog circuitry; bass drum, snare, and hi-hat. These three sounds were the key elements in a generation of analog beat making, and are still in demand today. Use these powerful drum sounds to generate distinctive beats attainable only from the monotribe.
Electribe-Style Groove Creation
For over a decade, Korg Electribes have served as the standard tools for dance music and DJ work, and has earned outstanding popularity, even appearing recently as a top-selling iPad app. The fantastic step key interface lives on in monotribe, with a dedicated button for each of the eight steps. This allows realtime, hands-on step editing of not only the drum parts, but also for any synth part sequence played on the ribbon keyboard.
Active Step and Flux Mode
Active Step editing lets you remove or re-insert individual steps, creating short loop-like effects or off-beat patterns that weave in and out of complex rhythms. The step buttons provide this Active Step control during playback, and also provide an instant return to the original 8-step sequence if needed. Flux Mode allows the creation of sequenced synth parts that are not rigidly tied to the step grid, providing more musical versatility. The creation and morphing of edgy beats and stuttering rhythms has never been easier.
Auto-Tuning Analog
Analog synthesizers of yesteryear were prone to drift in pitch. But no more! The monotribe?s auto-tuning circuitry provides stable chromatic playability, and will not go out of tune. This auto-tuning technology also means no warm-up time, no servicing for pitch calibration, no sensitivity to temperature changes - just the great sound of analog VCO.
Multi-Mode Ribbon Keyboard
The ribbon controller keyboard provides three selectable playing modes/ranges. The chromatic mode (KEY) is ideal for playing melodies and bass lines, and stepping smoothly from note to note. Switch to the continuous mode (NARROW) for glides and bends - just as on the monotron. Also available is the wide continuous mode (WIDE) with a six-fold pitch range for dramatic synth zaps and screams. In addition, pressing the Gate Time button will allow the gate time to be sequenced as the ribbon controller keyboard is played.
Classic Analog Components - VCO, LFO, VCA
The VCO offers a choice between sawtooth, triangle and square wave. White noise can mixed in to the oscillator signal in any amount. The Octave selector covers a broad range, from deep bass to piercing lead-lines. Three EG (Envelope Generator) presets provide the VCA with impressive versatility and dexterity. The LFO can be patched to the VCO and/or the VCF, creating impressive dynamic effects. The Range switch allows the LFO to deliver stirring cyclic changes over tens of seconds (SLOW) or superfast (FAST) audio-range FM ringing. Switching the LFO Mode to the 1-shot setting allows the LFO behave as a second envelope generator - a truly powerful addition!
Vintage MS-10/MS-20 Filter
The monotribe features the same VCF circuit found on Korg's classic MS-10 and MS-20 analog semi-patchable synthesizers. Distinctively analog, this sharp and powerful filter adds dramatic change to the sound, imparting the uniquely memorable character of Korg's early analog synthesizers. Using the audio input, any audio source can be enhanced by passing through the filter section. Process an instrument, a voice, or a complete mix form CD or MP3 and create larger than life filter effects!
Sync Jacks: A Return To Modular
The monotribe provides both Sync In and Sync Out jacks, empowering multiple monotribe units to play and work together for a synchronized performance. Not just other monotribes, either. Audio line level pulses can trigger the Sync Input so the monotribe can be synchronized to a DAW system, for example. In addition, the polarity of the pulse waveform can be changed for both the input and output, so you can enjoy synchronized performance with a variety of equipment equipped with Sync connections.
On-The-Go Groove Making
Light, compact, and portable, monotribe is great on the go. Equipped with a built-in speaker and powered by six AA batteries, it is completely self-contained and ready to deliver hours of enjoyment wherever you take it.
