MON2 is designed to accommodate the needs of people who want to gain knowledge more about the field of audio synthesis. Users are going to embark on a journey of discovery, gradually mastering the ability to shift between parameter adjustments of each sound group to suit their needs. MON2 renders it simple for users to discover and put things together by utilizing a distinctive vertical screen interface that was designed to be both intuitive and straightforward to learn and use. There are two primary modes of operation within the MON2 consist of Voice and Chord mode. It resembles three syntheses packed into one module. MON2: Soundscape Machine will take you on a journey of creative inspiration that is bound to give you fresh perspectives as well as bringing you closer to your creative spark.
The design ethos which is distinctive to our brand remains intact, with premium plastic buttons together with stainless steel plates, ensuring satisfying tactile experience. The keys are meticulously sized and spaced just like those on the MIDI controller, ensuring comfortable finger placement. The incorporation of vertical screens underscores commitment to innovative concepts in addition to providing an exceptional experience to the workflow environment. These screens split parameters into three distinct sections, and each of them continually displays three parameters that correspond to the three knobs from the left for seamless adjustments. Four touch sensors under the LCD display additionally contribute to making it much simpler for users to establish link between the parameters in addition to lock individual parameters. Since the same knobs are used in all 12 selections, there is a parameter lock system in place to keep things from going haywire.

22 hp module
It is a combination of functions such as the GrooveBox Omichord Drone Noisebox, designed to be able to mix a variety of sounds, divided into 3 groups, 2 oscillators per group, A(1), B(2), C(3), and each group can adjust the parameters. independently of each other It creates new sound mixing and it's quite functional. There are 30 waveforms, random step, CV in, LFO, Tremolo, LPF, ECHO, Sub Oscillator and many more.
Suitable for people who want to understand sound synthesis. Players will gradually Learn to customize the characteristics of each sound group through a unique, easy-to-understand and playable vertical screen. It's like we have 3 synthesizers in one box, with 2 main modes: Voice mode and Chord mode. MON2 : Soundscape Machine will definitely give you new ideas.
The design approach remains unique to the brand. Stainless steel plates and buttons made from quality grade silicone plates. Gives a good feeling of use The keys are designed in size and distance to be similar to the keys on a MIDI keyboard used for making music, so finger placement is comfortable. Vertical screens are something that designers really want to present. It is both unique to create an instrument that has This new type of workflow The screen divides the parameters to display 3 parameters at all times. Corresponds to the number of 3 left knobs when the user wants to adjust any parameter in the screen and the 3 parameters in this vertical screen. Also related to the 4 touch sensors placed under the screen. There is a system to lock parameters to prevent discrepancies. Because we use the same knobs for all 12 menus.
– It doesn't use a step sequencer yet because we don't limit the room of the notes. The system is designed to allow recording freely with the loop, up to 200 positions per group (200 notes).
– It is not yet a sound module that can be used with a keyboard. There is no MIDI IN, but there is a CV in instead, and designers may still have to think about How do you arrange the sounds if you accept MIDI when the 6 Oscs all have different sounds?
– It's not yet a sampler machine because it doesn't have Audio in and doesn't support SD Card. Check out the video at Monkham explaining the workings of MON2. MON2 : Soundscape Machine
