IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CONSUMERS
Main features
Analog synthesis
The VCO, VCF, and VCA are constructed of analog circuitry. With
intuitively simple operation and the sound-creating process that’s
distinctive of analog synthesizers, the monotribe gives you a flexible
and highly improvisatory synthesis experience. The VCF features the
filter circuit of the classic Korg MS-20.
Self-tuning function
When not producing sound, the monotribe tunes itself internally to
correct any pitch drift that may occur due to temperature changes or
aging. Despite the analog VCO, the monotribe does not require reguler servicing to stay in tune over time; the monotribe can deliver
reliable performance as soon as the power is turned on.
Ribbon keyboard
You can switch the pitch range of the ribbon keyboard (WIDE/NARROW). Since it can also be played chromatically like a conventional
keyboard, you’ll be able to play melodies with accurate pitches.
Analog drum sound generator
A crisp-sounding three-part drum sound generator using discrete
analog circuitry is built-in.
Eight-step sequencer
You can control the sequence in realtime to create loops using the
drum sounds and the synth part.
FLUX mode
This allows the sequence of the synth part to be recorded and played
back without being restricted by the steps. It’s a great way to create tricky
rhythms and sequence patterns with unique grooves.
Multi-function LFO
A broad range of RATE and INTENSITY settings cover everything
from subtle change to drastic modulation. In addition to convention-
Owner’s manual
al LFO functionality, there’s a 1SHOT mode that makes the LFO behave like an envelope genelator (EG).
External input jack
This lets you modify the sound of the synth part by mixing an external audio source with the VCO. It also lets you use the monotribe as
an effect processor for an external audio source.
Internal speaker
The monotribe has a built-in speaker, so you can play it anywhere.
AC adapter or battery power
You can use batteries when you’re on the go, or the AC adapter (sold
separately) for extended periods of use.
How the sound generator is structured
As shown in the block diagram (p.6), the synthesizer sound generator consists of an oscillator (VCO), filter (VCF), and amp (VCA). The
synthesizer will produce sound when you touch the ribbon keyboard
or play back sequence data. The drum sound generator provides three
parts—bass drum (BD), snare (SN), and hi-hat (HH)—and is played
back by sequence data.
The three elements of sound (pitch, timbre, and volume)
Sound has three basic elements: pitch, timbre (tonal character), and
volume. Just like classic analog synthesizers of the past, the monotribe provides VCO, VCF, and VCA sections that let you control these
elements. Edit the VCO to modify the pitch, the VCF to modify the
timbre, and the VCA to modify the volume.
In addition, you can use the envelope generator (EG) and low frequency oscillator (LFO) to dynamically control parameters.

Getting started
Installing batteries
Tu rn off the power before replacing the batteries.
Depleted batteries should be immediately removed from the
monotribe. Leaving depletedbatteries in the battery compartment
may cause malfunctions (the batteries may leak). You should also
remove the batteries if you don’t expect to use the monotribe for an
extended period of time.
Don’t mix partially-used batteries with new batteries, and don’t mix
batteries of differing types.
1. Detach the battery cover from the rear panel.
2. Insert six AA batteries, taking care to observe the correct polarity
(+/- orientation). Use alkaline or nickel-metal hydride batteries.
3. Reattach the battery cover.
The included battery is provided so that you can verify that the unit
is operating correctly; its lifespan may be shorter than normal.
Using an AC adapter
Connect the optional AC adapter to the DC9V jack.
You must turn off the power before connecting the AC adapter.
You must only use the specified AC adapter. Using any AC adapter
other than the specified model will cause malfunctions.
Battery level indication
At start-up
The step LEDs (p.15) indicate the remaining amount of battery power. If all LEDs are lit-up, the batteries are completely full. Fewer lit
LEDs mean that the battery level is correspondingly lower.
If an AC adapter is connected, the remaining battery amount will
not be shown correctly.
Both alkaline and nickel-metal hydride batteries are supported. In
order for the remaining battery amount to be detected and shown
correctly, you must use the Global menu (p.16) to specify the type
of batteries that you’re using.
During operation
If the batteries are running low, the monotribe will warn you by blinking the four part LEDs (p.14) simultaneously.
If the batteries run down completely, the step 1 LED will blink, and
then the power will turn off automatically.
It’s not possible to stop the low battery warning; however, you will
be able to continue using the monotribe until the batteries have run
down completely.
Unsaved data will be lost, so save your data (p.16) if necessary.

3. AUDIO IN jack
An external audio source connected to the AUDIO IN jack will be
mixed with the VCO (p.11) and sent through the VCF (p.11) and VCA
(p.11). You can use this to expand the monotribe’s sonic possibilities,
or use it as an effect processor for a separate audio source.
A signal input in stereo will be mixed to mono.
4. OUTPUT jack
Connect the monotribe’s OUTPUT jack to the INPUT jack of your
mixer or powered monitor speakers. The output signal is monaural,
but the jack will accept either monaural phone plugs or stereo phone
plugs (unbalanced).
5. HEADPHONES jack
Connect your headphones (stereo mini-plug) here.
6. SYNC OUT jack
This jack outputs a 5V pulse of 15ms at the beginning of each step.
You can use this to synchronize another monotribe or other compatible equipment such as an analog sequencer to this monotribe unit. A
Global menu setting (p.16) lets you specify the polarity of the pulse.
7. SYNC IN jack
If the SYNC IN jack is connected, the internal step clock will be ignored, and the sequencer will proceed through its steps according to
the pulses that are input to this jack. You can use this jack to synchronize the monotribe’s steps with pulses that are output from another
monotribe unit, your analog sequencer or the audio output of a DAW.
A Global menu setting (p.16) lets you specify the polarity of the pulses that are detected.

8. Grounding Screw
Use this screw to ground the unit. To do so, loosen the screw and
attach a grounding wire.
Do not use the unit if the screw is removed.
Depending on how the unit is connected to other devices, you may
feel a slight electrical stimulation if a soft part of your skin touches
a connected microphone or the metal part of the unit.
This is caused by a very weak current that is harmless to humans.
If this bothers you, use this grounding screw to ground the unit
externally.
Turning the power on
Before you turn on the monotribe, you must turn off the power of
your powered monitors or any other external output system.
1. Turn the monotribe’s LEVEL knob (p.11) and RHYTHM knob (p.15)
all the way to the left.
2. Press the monotribe’s power switch (p.8) to turn the power on.
The step LEDs (p.15) will indicate the remaining amount of battery power.
3. Lower the volume controls of your powered monitors or external
output system, and then turn their power on.
4. Turn the monotribe’s LEVEL knob and RHYTHM knob clockwise
to an appropriate level.
5. Adjust the volume of your external output system.
Turning the power off
1. Lower the volume of your powered monitors or external output
system, and turn their power off.
2. Turn the monotribe’s LEVEL knob (p.11) and RHYTHM knob (p.15)
all the way to the left, and hold down the power switch until any
lit LEDs have gone dark.
Never turn off the monotribe while global data (p.16) is being written. Doing so may damage the internal data.
Auto power-off
The monotribe has an auto power-off function. This function automatically turns the power off after approximately four hours have
passed since the monotribe last produced sound.
Disabling the auto power-off function
If desired, you can disable the auto power-off function.
For details on this procedure, refer to the Global menu (p.16).

VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
The oscillator generates the waveform that’s the basis of the sound: a
sawtooth wave, triangle wave, or square wave. The noise generator
produces white noise. If an external audio source is connected to the
AUDIO IN jack, it will be mixed with the VCO’s output. The VCO
generates a waveform at a pitch that’s determined by the position
being touched on the ribbon keyboard or by performance data that
you’ve recorded as a sequence. In addition, the LFO can also apply
time-varying changes to the pitch.
1. OCTAVE selector
This specifies the VCO pitch in steps of an octave. With the ”64’” setting, the pitch range of the ribbon keyboard will be A0–D2.
2. WAVE select switch
This selects the VCO waveform: sawtooth, triangle, or square.
(Sawtooth wave)
(Triangle wave)

3. NOISE knob
This knob adjusts the level of white noise that’s mixed with the VCO
output.
4. RANGE select switch
This specifies the ribbon keyboard’s playing mode.
WIDE The pitch range will be extended to approximately
six times that of the NARROW setting; pitch change
will be continuous. The OCTAVE selector will be
ignored.
NARROW The pitch will change continuously according to the
printed ribbon keyboard.
KEY The pitch will change in chromatic steps according
to the printed ribbon keyboard.
VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter)
The filter modifies the timbre (tonal character) by boosting or cutting
specific frequency regions of the sound produced by the oscillator.
The monotribe uses the traditional 12 dB/oct low-pass filter (LPF)
that was also used on the Korg MS-20. The character of the sound will
change significantly depending on the settings of this filter. In addition, you can use the LFO to modulate the filter’s cutoff frequency
over time.
5. CUTOFF knob
This adjusts the cutoff frequency of the VCF, affecting the brightness
of the sound.
Turning the knob toward the left will darken the sound, and turning
the knob toward the right will brighten the sound.
6. PEAK knob
This adjusts the resonance of the VCF, adding emphasis to the cutoff
frequency.
VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier)
The amp varies the volume of the sound. You can use the EG to make
the volume change over time.
7. LEVEL knob
This adjusts the volume.

note is sounded, and will remain at maximum while
the note is played.
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
The LFO applies cyclical changes to the parameters that determine
the sound. You have three choices to specify which parameters will
be modulated. Since the modulation rate can be adjusted over a broad
range, you can use this to create everything from vibrato to sound
effects. You can also use 1SHOT mode to make the LFO behave like
an EG.
9. RATE knob
This adjusts the speed of modulation. Turning the knob toward the
right produces faster modulation.
10. INT. knob
This adjusts the intensity (depth) of modulation. If you turn the knob
all the way to the left, no modulation will be applied.
11. TARGET select switch
This specifies what will be affected by LFO modulation.
VCO The VCO pitch will change.
VCO+VCF The VCO pitch and the VCF cutoff frequency will

VCF The VCF cutoff frequency will change.
12. MODE select switch
This switches the range of the modulation rate, or changes how modulation is applied.
FAST The modulation rate will have a range of approxi-
mately 1Hz to 5kHz.
SLOW The modulation rate will have a range of approxi-
mately 0.05Hz to 18Hz.
1SHOT When the note begins, the first half-cycle of modu-
lation will be applied, and then the LFO will stop.
KEY SYNC is applied if you select FAST or 1SHOT.
About KEY SYNC
Key Sync is a function that resets the phase of the LFO waveform
when a note is played.
