Vermona has unveiled the Mono Lancet, a monophonic analogue desktop synthesizer.
Mono Lancet is a compact synthesizer with big sound, easy user interface and charm.
Oscillators
Two analogue oscillators take care of a solid sound foundation. Oscillator one creates triangle-, sawtooth- and square waves and can be set one octave lower than the second oscillator. The latter produces white noise instead of the triangle wave.
