Norand Mono Desktop Analog Synth and Sequencer
Desktop Synth with Sequencer
Under the hood, Mono hosts a uniquely designed analog synthesis engine. Discover a wide palette of sounds in a minimalistic, two oscillator, one filter set-up.
From soothing detuned sinewave to heavily modulated sawtooth, Mono’s sound source is versatile and full of character.
- Thru-zero analog frequency modulation
- Continuously variable waveform
- Fine-grained detune control
- Hard-Sync
Designed with an emphasis on sound-character and originality, mono filter let you sculpts the oscillators output in every way possible. A unique filter for a unique synthesizer.
- 3-Pole State-Variable Filter
- Continuously variable BP-LP-HP output
- Main enveloppe amount control & Keyboard follow
Mono introduces contextual modulation, a unique modulation system that gives you full control over every parameters. Each have their own envelope and audio-frequency modulator. By simply touching a knob to select the underlying parameter, unleash Mono’s full creative potential.
From simple note sequence to complex ratcheted phrase with parameter automations, Mono’s sequencer does it all, with a straight-forward user-friendly interface. Each of Mono's 2048 patterns stores a patch (or preset) with all modulation parameters, as well as a 64-step sequencence with automation events !
Easily record and edit patterns, either with direct control or external keyboard. Get immediate visual feedback of what’s happening, without menu-diving.
Note trigs, parameter automations, Mod note, ratchet ... Mono sequencer allows the user to sequencer everything step by step without limitations
