Monosynth

A monosynth, short for monophonic synthesizer, is a type of electronic musical instrument that generates sounds using electronic signals. It can produce one note at a time, making it ideal for melodies and basslines. The instrument shapes sound through components like oscillators (which create basic tones), filters (which sculpt the sound), and amplifiers (which control volume). Monosynths are valued for their ability to produce rich, expressive sounds with a focus on single-note melodies, often favored in genres like electronic, techno, and bass music. Despite their simplicity in note playback, they offer a wide range of sound design possibilities.
