Korg Monotribe , analog Synth and step sequencer
Monotribe represents the next generation of analog production tools from Korg featuring an easy to edit, incredible-sounding true analog oscillator, three analog drum parts to keep the groove and a completely straightforward step sequencer for all parts. Connect external audio and effect and gate the source, and connect two or more monotribes via the Sync In/Out to do some pre-MIDI-style syncing to multiply the analog awesomeness.
