I went through a phase of great expectation and excitement over Korg’s Monotribe this week. I’ve been toying with the idea of adding an analog synth to my sonic palette. But now that I’ve had a closer look, I’m not so sure that the Monotribe is what I’m after – might just be too limited. Doefer’s Dark Energy is starting to look like the best fit for me. The Dark Energy offers better out-of-the-box expandability than the Vermona Lancet, and though the DSI Mopho looks and sounds awesome I’m not a fan of the idea that you need to program it via software to get the most out of it – may as well stick to softsynths in that case. Still, I might be tempted to spring for a Monotribe if it’s priced right.
