Monologue Blue : Compact Anologue Bliss

I operate from a bedroom studio,so I was looking for a small sturdy Synth with a great beefy analogue sound with rich features.Happy to report the Korg Monologue did this in spades,reasons why and some criticism listed below (well nothing?s perfect)

Positives:

1.Versaitile sequencer

2.Sturdy and compact

3.Battery operated,making portable

4.Micro tuning,nice touch

5.Oscilloscope display,allowing visual sound reference

6.Sounds Fad,especially beefy low end

7.Audio input,great for putting drums through.

Some Criticism

1.Keys don?t feel great.

2.Envelope a little weak

3.No power adapter included

Bottom line ,I highly recommend for the reasons listed above,I will say do,a desktop version of this would be fantastic ,especially as the keys aren?t great and the Arturia keystep is proving so popular.
