1st Post!

I've been interested in the Monotron since it was released as I own a KORG MS-10 & SQ-10. After learning about the hacking that could be done to the Monotron, I thought I might try my hand at integrating it with my collection as another oscillator & filter controlled via Control Voltages, maybe making it a bit more like an MS-20.


I've got minimal electronics experience, so I thought it would be an idea to document this in a blog so that others could have a go at modding their Monotrons too.

Some of the modifications I wanted to make:

  • CV VCO Trigger input
  • CV VCO Pitch input
  • MG (LFO) Rate input
  • Square Wave
  • Pulse Width Modulation input
  • Feedback Loop
  • MIDI Connectivity (Depends how hard this is!)

I also wanted to re-house the Monotron circuit board in a more MS synth style, so I was thinking of making up a folded steel enclosure in a similar style to the MS-02 or MS-03.



So as I collect the info I'll post it up and share the news.

If you have any comments then add them too!
