Current stock

Mute boards have all gone now, I might do another batch in the future but not for a while, plenty of MIDI kits left, a few VCO and a few Drum mods currenly available, CV/Gate boxes almost always in stock.

Prices

MIDI £40 - includes optional free click reduce.

Drum £40

VCO £55

CV/Gate £20

Shipping by tracked airmail £9 charged per parcel not per item, so if you have 2 or 3 mods you still only pay £9 as long as you order them together.

All payments in GBP and by paypal, to order email me from the link up at the top right of the screen.

All kits are simple enough to fit for a beginner, some soldering experience and use of drill is required, kits come with drill stickers to ensure accurate holes, and instructions are sent by email.

As always if you have any questions please ask, although note that I do not have schematics available for any of the kits, if you are into DIY then there are plenty of great resources for Monotribe mods on the internet, some of which I have contributed to.

Monotribe midi - not all created equal

If you have midi on your Monotribe you will know how much fun it can be, however recently I have discovered that not all Monotribe midi interfaces are created equal.

If you have bought a midi interface for your Monotribe here is what you should expect:

A ground connection on the Midi output - I know of one popular kit that does not have this, why? All midi outputs should be grounded, it is part of the midi spec.

No lag on the midi input - the Monotribe is capable of responding to midi as fast as any output can send it, and you should not get stuck notes either. If you experience this it is possible that an unsuitable opto isolator has been used.

No stuck notes or lag on the midi output, with a properly made interface this should not be happening, and one of the reasons why ground should be present.

All midi interfaces for the Monotribe allow the same functions, this is coded into the Monotribe firmware, so apart from performance issues mentioned above and price they are all the same.

Needless to say, I use a fast suitable opto and midi out is grounded on all my midi kits.
