MONKEY gives you the freedom to create music anywhere. At the kitchen table, in the park, or on long adventures. Through the SHIFT key, its full potential unfolds. Including MIDI effects with a range of creative presets, a drum engine, and a loop recorder capable of playing up to ten instruments at once. With its wireless connection, you can link MONKEY to a compact portable setup, your phone, laptop, or other external gear. All of this is made possible in practice by technological advancements which enables several months of battery life on a single coin cell battery and a reliable ultra-low-latency connection.
It’s a platform built for creative exploration, playful experimentation, and to give you focus.
Portability used to mean what could fit in a backpack. Now it means what fits in your pocket. And without compromising on the quality of features.
Each of the 6 MIDI effects packs a variety of presets which makes it easy to explore compositions quickly. The built-in looper gives you the option to compose ideas without interacting with any screen; only the physical device and your own mind.
The device is plug-and-play, fun at any level of musical experience, and with customisation options with a musical playground straight in the browser. You can try it here:
