Liam Howlett of The Prodigy is set to use the Korg Monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer at a large festival date.

The synth was shown to him just 10 minutes before stepping on to the stage at this years Southside Festival in Neuhausen, Germany.

Their tour manager, Mat Davie, told Korg that Howlett was instantly hooked on Korg's battery-powered synth, and took it on stage with him that night.

Playing to an audience of over 4,000 fans, Howlett reportedly "got carried away with playing on it".

One day later, he used it again during their set at the Hurricane Festival in Scheessel, Germany.

Davie went on to tell Korg that the Monotron "looks like it is now part of his touring setup."

The Prodigy are currently touring Europe and are due to play to 65,000-strong crowd at the Milton Keynes Bowl next month.

weak, i can find some shitty vst than can do a million times better than this thing with a 20 buck usb controller

...not that runs on batteries and can fit in your pocket

Shitty VSTs don't have MS20 analog filters in them

You're supposed to run other stuff through it, which is what I assume Liam was doing.

edit: You would be surprised what you can do with this thing with some tweaking.
