This demo of the Korg Monotron, via koishistyle, is great because it shows that the Korg Monotron is more than a musical toy – it’s a real synth, capable of making real music, in the right hands.
All sounds are played with the Korg Monotron, composed and performed by Koishi.
Nice! Can’t wait for it…
well people have been making great music with toys, so I don't see how this proves anything! 🙂 which doesn't mean that I don't think that the monotron is a grat little instrument!

The Monotron is a fukin beast and you shouldn’t need a video to prove that to you. One oscillator, filter, and an LFO is enough to make some pretty sweet noises.
Any idea what this will cost?
very nicely edited
Ben, you can order them for ~$60. http://www.novamusik.com/search.aspx?type=Model&a…
I still wish there was a midi version.
BTW this looked interesting: http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2010/04/korg-mono…

Is there a Stylophone upgrade kit?
I agree with Alastair that this would be killer if it had MIDI or at least USB midi. Then it would actually be useful.
This "equipment" is a bad taste joke. Shame fo KORG.
No MIDI, no USB, looks like a toy and sorry to say, but sounds like one as well…
Well duh, what do you expect for £50? The stylophone was a toy too, until Bowie used it on a hit record. Since then it's been used many times with great success.
This 'toy' will inspire kids who can't afford a more expensive instrument and have more interest in music and sound than MIDI and USB. Any musical instrument is what you're prepared to make of it.

(I expect you have the same low opinion of the Kaossilator.)
Kaossilator sucks for sure. Monotron looks awesome. I just wonder if it is really what they say it is under the hood. Obviously by awesome I mean entertaining and will get use on some tracks when it fits. But yeah the kaossilator sucks major I'd take this over that anyday.

Even though a lot more videos of this thing have come out since then, this one is by far my favorite; this is the one that inspired me to order one. I don't think any of the other videos would have succeeded at doing that.
riiiight…
