Norand Mono

soundonsound.com

With its innovative sequencer and impressive modulation capabilities, the Norand Mono offers a fresh take on the classic monosynth formula. It excels in crafting a diverse range of sounds, from lush leads to punchy bass lines, and the sequencer's flexibility truly sets it apart. However, the plastic build and high price may deter some users seeking a more premium feel. While it may not replicate the iconic 303 sound, the Mono carves its own niche in the synth landscape, making it a worthwhile addition for those craving performance-oriented features and hands-on control. If you're ready to embrace a new sonic adventure, the Mono is a compelling choice.
