Korg debuts pocket-sized Monotron analog synth, and we want it (video)

Don’t take this the wrong way — we’re glad to be in Las Vegas with all our friends at CTIA, playing with new handsets from Samsung and Motorola. But as you know, we also love us some new music gear, especially when it sounds good — so we wouldn’t exactly mind being in Frankfurt for Musikmesse right now, either. Currently on display at Korg’s booth, Monotron is a two AAA-powered, pocket-sized analog synth featuring a ribbon keyboard, VCO, VCF, and LFO controls, and the same analog filter found in the Korg MS-10 and MS-20 — and it sounds great. Check it out in the gallery below and in the video after the break to see / hear the thing in action. Look for it in May for about $67.
