The Cult Mini-Synth of the Monotron Series
Designed as a playful gateway to analog, the Monotron Delay follows the lineage of Korg's micro-synths. It revives the character of the legendary MS-10/MS-20 filter in a minimalist enclosure. Accessible, fun, and incredibly effective, it has become a benchmark in "pocket analog" for sound designers and curious musicians alike.
Ideal for Mobile Creation, Experimentation, and Live Performance
Beginners and experts alike will appreciate its immediate approach for electro, techno, synthwave, ambient, dub, or sound design for visuals. In the studio, it adds organic layers and grainy effects; on stage, it serves as a generator of interludes, drones, and on-the-fly filtered "sweeps."

Questions frequently asked
Does the Korg DJ Monotron Delay have a built-in delay?
The built-in delay features time and feedback controls, allowing for short repeats or more pronounced echoes.
Can a drum machine be connected to this synth?
The stereo mini-jack auxiliary input lets an external source be processed through the VCF filter and delay. A drum machine can therefore receive cutoff sweeps and repeats.
What type of filter does the Monotron Delay use?
The VCF offers a cutoff control and reproduces the sonic character of the Korg MS-10/MS-20 filters. It allows shaping the harmonic content of the VCO or any source connected to the audio input.
Is the Monotron Delay's ribbon keyboard playable with slides?
Its 16 segments on a touch ribbon enable continuous pitch variations and expressive slides. Polyphony is limited to one note.
What are the dimensions and available audio output?
Measuring 120 x 72 x 28 mm and weighing 95 g, this compact format is easily portable. The headphone/line output allows connection to headphones or a recording system.
