I own a lot of Novation synths and if I have found one thing to be true, it is that Novation doesn't stop improving their products until they are brilliant, and these units are really getting there.

Great review, one of the deepest for this gear ! I like how you made the frequencies as visual along the test. Keep going on & thank you.

One of the best reviews of this unique synth. Thanks.

Great review! Thank you for this

This was an ode to beautifully mixing digital control and analog sound generation: the fact that it was discontinued baffles me. I would have thought it would have been as successful as the original circuit.

Nice stuff homie, enjoyin all ur vids, keep up the good work, abrazos de Mexico!!

Great review! I recently purchased the Mono Station (lightly used) for $250. Naturally I didn't get the manual with it, so I have been experimenting with the Mono Station, working my way into it. Thanks to your video, I now know how to use some of its features. My impression of the synth, to date is: Pros - 1) It sounds really good, very meaty, which plays well with my existing Moog rig. 2) The variable-state filter is pretty impressive. 3) The sequencer has much potential for me since it can control my Mother 32s and DFAM via CV. 4) The MIDI implementation is solid (this was a problem with early Novation Circuits). 5) I play live and the compact size helps setup and the LEDs make it easy to use in on dark stage. The Cons are few: 1) That "on-off" switch is a pain to find and push. 2) A little OLED display (see Korg's Monologue) explaining what mode you are in would have been useful. 3) They had enough room to put full DIN MIDI connectors in, but went with those dongles.

I kinda hope Novation comes out with a circuit pro that combines all these sound shaping options and updates modern sequencing options we are seeing into a killer fun box to make music on - combo mono analogue synth and digital synth options in one box with sampling capability. Minds could be blown!! 😂

Nice job Dacci 😎

So glad I got a Mono Station before it was discontinued, such an amazing device.

bought it..t.nx..amazing sound

Great write up

Very nice review! What did you use to get the oscilloscope display, and how did you incorporate it in the video. Thanks if you can find the time to respond. ♥

I have this beast since a while, but today, I learned a new thing or two! Initially, I also found the sharing of controls for both oscillators confusing, but once I got used to the handling of the Mono Station, it was okay. The color coding makes it pretty easy to not mess things up, and generally, I find the Mono Station very intuitive. Along with the Roland TR-8S, it's the machine with the lowest learning curve (for me, personally), and I found it pretty easy to get pleasing results pretty quick. Love having it in my setup, and I haven't found something I'd consider a good replacement, so far.

What if I want to put an external reverb on one oscillator and not on the other one?

Klasse Video. Ich hatte den Vorgänger den ich werden seiner Batterie und dem Lautsprecher geschätzt hatte. Das fehlt der Monostation leider scheinbar. Gerade auf Tournee und als Papa im Sandkasten schätze ich die Freiheit die ich durch Akai MPClive, OP1, den POxx, Gecho, den Yamaha Cs1 und diversen anderen Batteriedriven Synthesizer habe. Liebe Grüße aus Potsdam

they should fuckin integrate the arp like in the bass station 2 !

👌

Great review, Dacci. They only sent you the synth for two weeks? That's not very nice. Here's hoping at least they give you a huge discount on one, if you want to buy one. :P

Continuity at 8:11: - topic: LFO rate range - vid cuts from rate to depth - audio: just depth (No biggie, though, imho.)

quite a reverby room!
