What is it?
Monumatic is the sibling and successor to the immensely popular Poly Cinematic and it follows on where that left off. It’s an eight-voice polyphonic synthesizer, with monophonic mode, which covers a lot of ground, including square and saw sync, strings, Moog tones and many more, all accessible from a rotary control. That in itself is a great start. There are many fundamental tones you can use as a starting point to shape as you see fit. The oscillator section has a large rotary control to the left, where much of the tone tweaking takes place, with detuning from unison, to fifth and on to sub octave. There’s also a small pitch control for tuning.
