Bonus Round - VCO mod NEW BATCH

After a few requests for VCO mod I have managed to source the parts for a final (this time really final!) run, the first 3 will be ready next week (around the 27th October) they are slightly different than the previous version, a different shaped PCB and some component changes, so a slightly different sound, but essentially the same in what they add to the sound capabilities of the Monotribe.

Price is £55 GBP plus shipping (£5 UK, £9 rest of world)

Pretty simple to fit, full illustrated instructions sent by email, they come fully assembled with just 4 wires to solder and a few holes to drill, a drilling template is sent to allow you to get the holes accurate.

Pics and more info to follow soon, in the meantime if you want to order one hit the email link to the right. (monotribemodsATgmailDOTcom)

How to order or contact

To order or get in touch email me monotribemodsATgmailDOTcom

I will be setting up a proper web store eventually but for now ordering is done by email.

Stock update - drum and VCO

Just 1 VCO mod left, and also down to last 2 drum decay mods, neither will be available any more once these few have gone.

The drum decay mod will be replaced later in the year with a different version which will be a little more expensive (£55), the VCO mod will most likely not be returning due to parts, there may in the future be a similar mod, but it will definitely not be the same.

A new mod which takes the place of the VCO mod is coming, but it is totally different and will not be limited edition.

Some other mods are in the pipeline too, but not until later in the year.

Roll Call - Last ever VCO mod run 5 available, MIMO

Heads up, the last batch of VCO mods is available now, I will not be making any more of these due to the chip becoming unobtanium, and I wanted to keep it below 50 pieces worldwide, so act now if you do not want to miss out.

Here is a picture

It is an additional VCO which is fed from the internal VCO then mixed back into the filter, it is capable of a number of different effects depending on the settings, see the youtube demos for the kinds of sounds it can make. Certainly for techno or experimental music I feel it takes the Monotribe to a whole new level, and I am proud to say that a few of these have ended up in the hands of some techno legends. It is a wild little mod for sure and I won't be directly replacing it, although I do have some new and different mods coming soon around summer time.

Small passive mixer for Monotribe, Volca etc

I made some small 4 channel passive mixers, great for small tabletop set-ups, 4 mono channels, built using good parts, the size is a little smaller than a iPhone, each channel has a level control and there is a master level control. Nice and simple and clean, always a handy thing to have around, price is £30 plus postage.

Here are some pictures

Got midi? Got gear that takes triggers? Read on!

If you have midi out on your Monotribe and you use other gear that takes triggers, like drum synths, sequencers or modular gear, then this might be of interest.

I have developed a box which takes midi output from the Monotribe and converts each drum hit and each synth gate into triggers (not CV from the synth, just a trigger each time the VCA opens) It spits out 5v triggers for each of the parts, and even when you use the roll function on the drum parts, so you can get nice trigger patterns happening, and by setting the active steps different for each part you create some nice polyrhythmic stuff too!

It is working very well at the current prototype stage, and seems very tight timing wise, more info will follow in the coming weeks and all being well, I hope to have these available for sale sometime soon.

In the meantime here is a vine sneek peek:

Sync cables available now

Here are some nice quality 50cm sync cables, £9.99 for a set of 4 or £3 each, probably makes more sense to add to an order due to postage costs, but I am happy to post them at cost if you do not need anything else £2.03 UK £9.75 worldwide.
