Korg has released this series of videos that explains how to update your Monotribe to version 2, what’s new and how to use the new features.
See our previous Monotribe 2 post for details on the update. The update is a free download from the Korg site.
The next video looks at 16-step sequencing with the Monotron:
The next video is a double-whammy, covering Sequence Volume and individual Active Steps for each part, which let you create more detailed patterns:
The update also adds drum rolls and the sample and hold feature:
Finally, the last video looks at daisy-chaining with the Korg Monotron 2 update:
Wow, the Monotribe really is retro-tastic – even its update mechanism evokes dial-up modems and software on cassette tape!

I have tried 6 different times now to update. Still no luck. Anyone else have this experience

It failed to update on the first go, then i turned up the volume a couple of notches and it worked.
I used an Audio Kontrol 1 audio interface. I don’t know how important signal to noise ratio is but it’s probably not insignificant.

3 things to try –
it’s a silly mistake most of us make at some time….)
1 – increase the volume, as someone else has suggested.
2 – Use battery for both monotribe and whatever your playing the file on. Cheap mains adaptors send a nasty hum down the audio lines, and the majority of laptop power supplies are appalling. Anything using a lo-ion battery should be run on battery.
3 – Silly one this, but are you sure your using a stereo cable and not a mono one?
(just asking
Good luck – it’s worth the effort
