The Unique Superpower of the MONOPOLY's MICROTONAL DRONES

Full, deep dive into creating paraphonic microtonal drones on the Korg and Behringer Monopoly paraphonic synthesisers. This creates deep, mesmerising tones and textures. It's a ticket to space.

Inspired by the drones from the Tanpura and Shruti in Indian music and other cultures.

WARNING!!! Once hear this, you can never unhear it.

If you know of other synths that can do this please comment below and I will update this description for everyone.
So far:
-Moog Matriarch (I tried this this morning on mine and works great, albeit no one finger chord function but is great with arpeggios too)
-Behringer Poly D
...

Getting into Microtonality:
One of the easiest ways to enter the microtonal sphere is to learn to make microtonal paraphonic drones. Once you have the basics, there is an infinite number of microtonal texture to explore, either scales or chords. The Monopoly GUI architecture is unique amongst synthesisers for being able to doing this because of its "chord" store function. If you know of any other synths that can do this too, please comment below and I will update this description for everyone.

-----------------------
00:00. Intro
00:05. Zero the synth
00:08. Next One
0011. Standard Equal Tempered Tuning Steps
00:48. Switch Poly "On", Play a C7,  press Hold
01:04. Switch waves to PWM
01:13. Tune oscillators to Just Intonation tuning
01:10. Tune VCO 2 JI (3rd)
01:27. Tune VCO 3 JI (5th)
01:39. Tune VCO 4 JI (7th)
01:57. Hear the Just Intoned C7 Chord
02:14. Adding PW modulation to taste
02:39. Tweak filter ready for modulation
02:55. Adding filter modulation
03:21. Adding noise
03:34. Playing the octaves
04:00. Adding some Fx while on a distant galactic seashore.
04:33. C Quartal Drone (4ths tuning in Just Intonation)
04:37. Play and store quartal chord
04:44. Zero synth levels and modulation (not the tuning knobs)
04:54. Tune VCO 2 to VCO 1 JI
05:03. Tune VCO 3 to VCO 2 (NOT VCO 1)
05:19. Tune VCO 4 to VCO 3
05:41. Hear the quartal chord
05:46. Add the PWM back in
05:50 Add the filter in
06:04 Playing the octaves
