MonoPlay by Tonicmint is a versatile Player device that reshapes polyphonic MIDI input into refined, monophonic output with complete user control. MonoPlay’s unique filtering allows you to choose exactly which note and velocity pass through, whether based on timing, pitch, or dynamic qualities, providing endless creative potential.
With multiple modes for note and velocity selection, you can decide whether to output the oldest, newest, highest, lowest, strongest, weakest, or even a constant note. This flexibility makes it a go-to tool for various tasks:
- Melody Extraction: Take complex chord progressions or polyphonic sequences and isolate single, meaningful notes to create evolving monophonic melodies.
- Enhanced Control for Monophonic Synths: Seamlessly adapt polyphonic instruments for monophonic play, ensuring a clean, single-note output.
- Generative and Evolving Patterns: Adjust note and velocity modes on-the-fly for evolving, dynamic melodies perfect for experimental or generative compositions.
MonoPlay also includes buffer and legato options:
- Buffer Mode: Define whether MonoPlay processes only simultaneous notes or all held notes, giving you more control over sustained and sequenced sounds.
- Legato Mode: Choose between smooth, continuous playback or retriggering notes for added expressiveness.
In addition to MIDI output, MonoPlay offers three CV outputs (Note, Gate, and Velocity), enabling flexible control across Reason’s CV-capable devices. Whether you’re building melodies, experimenting with complex modulation, or controlling CV-based instruments, MonoPlay adapts to your creative needs.
