Great work! Had a slight giggle on 2:28 since you use Wipe-On Poly on a monophonic synth :P
Honestly, what dazzles me the most out of this video is such impressive set of tools this guy owns... 😮
"why I removed the keys of this synthesizer" because you're amazing and it's the grandest gesture.
You are the master if the seven deadly synths.
Yep! Wish all synth makers made desktop versions of their keybed hogs. Bravo! :)
Agreed!!
What I wish was Rolly keybeds became incorporated more. I want polyphonic aftertouch and those stroke surfaces. Don't really like 2 separate units.
That opening track is dope as hell dude. Keep up the great work!
Personally I'm not too into wood for synths, but nice job and nice presentation! I'd love to see someone mod the monologue or the minilogue with an aluminum or stainless case. Just make it a compact brick without any slant to the case, something similar to the form factor of the Elektron synths.
Saw waves for the saw shots. Smooth.
Haha!
Another beautiful day with your analog VCOs and your MICRO JIG! MAKERS OF THE GRR-RIPPER!
Wow that is what I call art. I felt the passion. Cool AF. You are a clever bastard. Am a bit jelly.
I can see you're a presonus fanboy : ) Great monologue mod : ) Greets from a synth freak from Poland.
When it said 'mod' I was thinking of electronic mods. One of the reasons I like the Monologue is for its portability. It runs on batteries and I can play it anywhere. I can see that although you have made it smaller, which for portability is great, I won't be able to play it. Seriously, it looks great.
Korg pay attention. I want one! Like all of us space is at a premium, we already have our favorite keyboard controller. Don't need the keyboard. I hate the" E" to "E" (as opposed to the C to C) but love the guts. Wish I had the talent to make this module. Incredible job.
Killer work man! We need to do a music-related build collab, Moog is based here in Asheville.... :)
Asheville North Carolina
So Mr Korg this is how you do it!!! this should be in the stores!!!
awesome work!
before the midi controller video was over I was opening a new tab and googling monologue desktop version hahaha. then once I realised you had built it I came right here. I have the minilogue and love it. think the monologue is next on my list! keep up the good work.
Right on, thanks! I really like the monologue!
extraordinary work on the wood making tabletop monologue.
Came straight from your main channel video. Loved this one as well. I really really like the music, right up my street. Went to see Minami Deutsch this week and just bought tickets for Wooden Shjips. You'd have fitted right on the bill
I like Wooden Shjips, will have to check out Minami Deutsch! Thanks!
One keyboard to rule them all !!!!!! Nice work and hi from France
Love the finished look of your pieces for these kind og projects! Keep it up!
Thanks!
The edit, tracks and project are 🔥🔥🔥!
clearly some specialized equipment you have here. Drop down drills, laser computer controlled cutters etc. Not something anyone could just do in their garage like you kinda suggest. But well done it does look great (except for that silver edge at the bottom I woulda made that black)
Amazing, exactly the kind of mod I'm looking to do!
I personally think the best look for this would be to make it look as close as possible to the MS-20m Kit module. Nice work though.
I can't even afford one of these yet and you just pop one open all willy nilly haha wow great work
Great! I just painted the tiny markers on the knobs with white paint, because they are so hard to see as they come.
I enjoyed this video as much as the main channel version! 👍
nice, am thinking on doing this with my Minilogue XD (without removing the keys), googled around and found you. Nice job!
Came straight here from the keyboard mod video. This one looks equally great! Subbed here now, too.
What mod video?
Wonder if that voids the warranty.....
Only if they realize it is not an official product - so its the EX-Monologue!
It actually transforms the warranty to a lifetime one.
Holy shit... amazing!
Taking one screw out voids the warranty
Jim Beshears 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
you should start selling kits! Love it.
Great work, that thing is beautiful.
Nice. I’m planning on doing something similar to my Sub phatty, but with a metal case so I can have more desktop space as well. Thanks for sharing this.
Awesome work!
Very nice!! Been wanting to do this to a few of my synths. Interesting to see there is no shielding inside the Monologue. It would be nice if there were more factory desktop versions rather than just colour variants.
sending this to my buddy with a CNC router. Well done!
Fantastic workmanship. Really impressive and practical mod.
Really improved the look. Nice details.
Loved the music! The whole time watching the beat just got me and I kept wondering who it was from, pretty awesome it's you. Do it more often!
Nice work! I got here by googling to see if they made it in a rack version.
I would buy it if they released it like this.
So rad, David! A phenomenal one-two punch of inspiration today!
Wow, talk about a precise and beaultiful diy work! Congrats
Amazing! Looks so much better!
Super cool! Looks great! 👍🏻
This what I always wanted to do with my BassStation2. Nice video!
Hey, just found your channel. Great build, thanks for sharing!!
I would like that myself, but you have used very professional tools that ain't something you would find in an ordinary household. I wonder if there would be a similar outcome if you just use simple tools.. hmm. i'd like that challenge, but i don't have a minilogue yet. I returned mine cause the keybed was bothering me. Have no use for keybeds :) If there's a chance i get it to a desktop format like you did i would buy one.
Beautiful woodwork!
I did my minibrute like that....now that I watched your video I'm doing my monologue. I may even do my korg kontrol49.
I just found your channel, great stuff. I did a project just like this for my Behringer BCF2000!
Damn impressive. Here I am at Skill Level: Sandpaper. subbed
Love this, super job, tempted to do the same to mine now 😅
Really really great idea! Thanks for sharing. I wish Korg would do this themselves. I don't need that keyboard on there, and there are many out there who also don't.
Awesome quality. I'm really surprised!
Looks slick! Glad it worked out.
That is really, really cool and I'm really impressed.
What a brilliant video, you did an excellent job of the mod, would love this doing to mine for more space also. ..great work
This is so good!
it would be great if you could share the laser cut file for the rear side!
Think I’m gonna do this to mine too.
Cheers and thanks for sharing your process.
You should make a kit for this!
Fantastic! You've got another fan for your channel!
I'm ready to give my ol' Korg Micro-X a makeover now. It's keyboard is too short as well and i have a controller keyboard to play it if i want to. :-) Looking forward to the desk-makeover video! Thanks for the share, you're an inspiration!
wicked awesome dude!....you have great skills with the tools you use.
That is an awesome synth and a great project
This is excellent. And the music was very good, too.
gorgeous work!
This is amazing. Now, I regret selling my Monologue. It’s indeed a great synth and value for money!
Oh my dog. Looks heavy bruv. Amazing job you did there.
Cool. It would be wonderful if you did the same job with the Roland JD-Xi, putting it in a vintage wood case.
Looks very nice!
At some point in the future I'm going to be upgrading a toy piano with some real hardwood to make it sturdy and, as you've shown here, to make it sexy.
Oh nice!!!
This title is pretty fun to say
The video was awesome. The music was badass!
It's BEAUTIFUL
really nice work. I want to see what you do for a living.
Another great video Mr Penuche!
I want one of those!
wow! awesome work!!
Hehe, cool I also have an Aperture tatt (must say, it's initially because of the Laboratory though ;)
Lovely work (and shop).
Increadible work. Inspiring slogan. Subbed.
Nice job! TH-cam seems to not be showing you on my channel feed as often as it used to. Not sure why.
Nice filming buddy.
Nicely done.
How in the hell have i not seen your channel before. Defo has given me some good food for thought as far as my anlog synth project housing is concerned. Just subbed to this channel. I will check out the other and sub too. Looks like i have alot to learn from you. Great share 👍👍
Excellent job
No you didn't, you did this ish cuz it's DOPE
Oh yes! But maybe patch points to interrupt and circuit bend it with patch points ? And sample to oscillator capability-too! Just dreaming! Great stuff! Peace Christo great tune!
The books... btw, nice work. :)
Really really cool!
Should make a Model D case for the Beringer Model D module. that seems to be fairly popular but nobody has done an "in the making" of it
Great job! Wish Korg made a desktop version of it for half the price of the KB version. I own a monologue as well and it's a great synth. Made some patches that are free to download if you want. New sub here!
after seeing this I know why Korg wants $100 more for the Minilogue XD module than for the keyboard version. They don't save $100 by not having the keyboard - they build only keyboard versions and have small shops sawing them off again and throwing the keyybeds in the bin :-)
This must be it. ;-)
super cool man! I was just wondering why you cut the metal part so close to the logo, instead of just cut the 2 sidebars, cheers
To make it as small as possible. 😁
Dude, you realize that with your design on this alone you could sell a ton of customized Monologue! I don't know if you circuit bend and all that either but shit, drop me a line and let me know if you're going to do this (modding) work man! Even cosmetic changes or even color changes to the original material on synths/drum machines and the like. You should look into it man!
As with the midi keyboard... super cool
Great Work Man!
I want to make my own now
The Minibrute could definitely use this mod.
All this effort and then you didn't paint the edge where the panel was cut in half? this metallic edge bothers me more than it should :D still fantastic work. i wish i had the tools (and the skill) to do this to my minilogue.
I know you’ve talked publicly about posting videos with you own music, you should definitely do it more often 👌🏼
I will! Thanks!
The sequence is awesome, will you release it somewhere?
Really truly beautiful. And I could do that for only about 7-10! thousand dollars worth of power tools. Now if only I can convince my wife that the outlay is reasonable!
