Audiothingies Micromonsta Polyphonic Desktop Synth Will Seduce You With Its Sounds

After we were first contacted by Samuel Montassier, the creator of Audiothingies synths and music machines, I dutifully watched the Micromonsta demo video curious to see and hear what the latest desktop synth would offer.

Within 3 minutes, I was competely hooked and already wondering why and how on earth I hadn't come accross Audiothingies before, and especially the new Micromonsta!

I'll be honest, in case you hadn't already gathered this, the Micromonsta has captured my attention in a big way. This 8-voice desktop polyphonic synthesizer features excellent analgo modelling. In fact, if you're familiar with Audiothingies P6 (now discontinued), Samuel assures us that Micromonsta shares about 99% of the same sound, but with 2 more voices and wavetable support. Some sounds in the demo below use the internal factory wavetables. Take a watch/listen here:

Audiothingies Micromonsta Features include:

• 2 multi-algorithm oscillators per voice (including virtual analog, phase distortion and wavetable with 15 user slots)
• 1 multi-mode filter per voice
• 3 envelopes, 3 LFO's per voice, assignable via the modulation matrix
• a chorder capable of generating 4-note chords within a scale
• a powerful arpeggiator with step pattern editor
• Internal effects
• More than 200 presets out of 384 available slots

If you're interested in Micromonsta, stay tuned for a review at AskAudio. We'll be working on this as soon as we can get hold of a unit.
