    Great work! Had a slight giggle on 2:28 since you use Wipe-On Poly on a monophonic synth :P

  • @Pvaeerener
    @Pvaeerener 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Honestly, what dazzles me the most out of this video is such impressive set of tools this guy owns... 😮

  • @claytonlevibrown
    @claytonlevibrown 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    "why I removed the keys of this synthesizer" because you're amazing and it's the grandest gesture.

  • @bobt2522

    You are the master if the seven deadly synths.

  • @HazeAnderson
    @HazeAnderson 6 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Yep! Wish all synth makers made desktop versions of their keybed hogs. Bravo! :)

    • @SomethingAboutMaking
      @SomethingAboutMaking  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed!!

    • @meldmagic
      @meldmagic 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What I wish was Rolly keybeds became incorporated more. I want polyphonic aftertouch and those stroke surfaces. Don't really like 2 separate units.

  • @AdamRich1785
    @AdamRich1785 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    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.

    I can see you're a presonus fanboy : ) Great monologue mod : ) Greets from a synth freak from Poland.

  • @rexterrocks

    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.

    @dgkstl1421 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    @leehodge7907 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    extraordinary work on the wood making tabletop monologue.

    @timdiamond1056 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    • @SomethingAboutMaking

  • @DarrenGlen
    @DarrenGlen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

  • @epicon6
    @epicon6 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @StuartWilson4d
    @StuartWilson4d 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can't even afford one of these yet and you just pop one open all willy nilly haha wow great work

  • @JimBeshears

    Wonder if that voids the warranty.....

    • @lab-by-the-sea

      Only if they realize it is not an official product - so its the EX-Monologue!

    • @ModularLanding
      @ModularLanding 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It actually transforms the warranty to a lifetime one.

  • @KWHCoaster
    @KWHCoaster 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @cellrok
    @cellrok 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    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!

  • @synriser6742
    @synriser6742 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    • @couchcamperTM
      @couchcamperTM 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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. ;-)

  • @eugenioaltieri6476
    @eugenioaltieri6476 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @povkilla
    @povkilla 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    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!
