For thick analog bass or soaring vintage leads, Monark comes custom built to deliver the richness and warmth of the classic synthesizer it was lovingly modelled after – with a few digital enhancements under the hood. The main oscillator can be set to triangle, sawtooth, ramp up, square or pulse waveforms, while two additional oscillators offer the same shapes, along with tuning up to seven semitones above or below the incoming note, allowing for a wide range of fat detuned patches and creative voicing.
The intuitive mixer section comes with a dedicated noise oscillator that can be set to pink or white, along with a filter feedback loop and dedicated load for added grit and warmth. A sumptuous filter comes in four modes, with steep resonance and a dedicated envelope, alongside a dedicated envelope in the amp section. Beautifully designed and easy to use, Monark comes with a host of additional options on the back panel. Being monophonic it can’t play chords – but excels with bass lines, leads, tuned percussion, and more.
