Just three years after the release of the Norand MONO, a completely revised MK2 version is coming onto the market. Buyers of the first model don‘t have to worry too much, because they can also use some of the improvements in the software (more on this later).
Better hardware
According to the developers, new hardware was necessary to adequately implement all the newly conceived features. Fortunately, more attention was paid to a little more value. You don‘t necessarily see the potential of the MONO MK2 at first glance. But with the aluminum housing, new RGB LEDs and an overall improved user interface, it no longer looks quite as cheap as its predecessor.
3D sensors
A noticeable advantage of the improved controls are the 3D functions of the mini keyboard‘s buttons. Thanks to three assignable axes X,Y,Z, you can not only control pitch and velocity, but also other parameters such as filter frequency or oscillator volume by moving up/down or left/right. The newpattern morphing. In curve mode, the strip can be used to precisely adjust the automation, which is finer and smoother than its competitors due to the sequencer‘s high resolution of 1024 PPQN.
