Creating Ambient Drone Music with Korg Monotron Delay & Monotron Duo | Tutorial
Help me to reach 1K Subscribers! If you’re passionate about immersive soundscapes and unique musical journeys, you’re in the right place.
In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to craft mesmerizing ambient drone music using only the Korg Monotron Duo and Monotron Delay. It may be surprising, but The Monotron Duo can be an amazing drone synthesizer!
We’ll connect both synths to a small mixer to blend the sounds, then route the mixer’s output to a pedal for spatial effects (Zoom MS70 CDR). Using a simple hair clip to hold a key on the Monotron Duo, we’ll create a sustained note for our drone, adjusting oscillators and filters to shape the sound.
With the Monotron Delay, we’ll add another layer of spatial and cinematic tones, utilizing delay effects to enhance the atmosphere. Live improvisation will guide us in finding complementary notes, adjusting attack and release using the filter. We’ll experiment with delay and modulation to generate spatial and mysterious sounds.
Our final touch will be the Zoom MS70 CDR, where a carefully crafted patch with reverb and modulation effects will add movement and depth to our soundscape.
Stay tuned for a demonstration of the effects patch and settings!
