Anything with “tron” in the name tends to be awesome.
Is that a synthesizer in your pocket, or is it the Korg Monotron? This little chunk of portable, battery-powered fun can create music and beats on its own, or plugged into your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. It’s $90 at Korg.com, and the lucky winner of our May contest will get one for free.
To enter, simply leave a comment stating the kind of song you'd like to make with this synthesizer!

I would try to recreate Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca" I've seen it played on guitar and 6-string bass - like the ones I tune with my Korg ga30. I'd love to see what this Monotron can add to a classical sound.

It's time for 80's hair bands to make a comeback. Anyone of the "W" bands - Warrant, Whitesnake, White Lion, etc deserves to be re-mixed!
