2. The Mono/Fury is no extended polyphonic oversized buzz-and-bells has- nothing-to-do-with-the-original recreation. Why that? Because the Mono/Fury is a simulation – I wanted to do something close to the original, not something more or less. The layout of the Mono/Poly offers some unique features but also has some limitations.
VCO) by a single key. This function compensates the lack of a dedicated control for interval-tuning of the VCOs. 1 VCO = Voltage Controlled Oscillator. Of course the modules of the Mono/Fury are not voltage-controlled in the same way as in analog synthesizers, but I will stick to this neat...
Mono/Fury Manual Page 5 The following key assignment modes are available: Unison Monophonic keyboard action: The VCOs are stacked and play the same key. Unison/Share Polyphonic keyboard action: The pressed keys share the VCOs, i.e. if one key is pressed all VCOs will play the same note;...
Page 6 Tweaks At some places I decided to insert some minor additions or tweaks to the Mono/Fury which are not part of the original design. The purist will cry out loud but I think these tweaks are quite useful. Some tweaks are obvious: You can save a plug-in program, you have an integrated MIDI interface, it does not take minutes until the VCOs have warmed-up, the plug-in weights just some hundered kilobytes and not kilograms...

X-Mod parameter (for maximum X-Mod the Cross becomes Ring modulation). However, when I compared the sound of the Mono/Fury to the original, it turned out that on the Mono/Poly the X-Mod parameter does not only control the Cross mod intensity but also causes a pitch shift of the slave VCOs, i.e.
The Mono/Poly does not have any preset or patch memory to store and recall sounds by a few clicks (thanks to advances in quantum physics, the Mono/Fury does have this capability). Instead, the manufactures often provided patch sheets for their products –...
MIDI Learn function. To activate MIDI Learn, click on the respective button and wiggle both the MIDI controller and the Mono/Fury’s parameter that you want to link. If you want to unlearn the assignment, right-click the MIDI Learn button (the label now reads “UNLEARN”) and activate it.

Frequently Asked Questions Before you read on here, please make sure that you also have read my statements regarding the Mono/Fury's capabilities and limitations at the beginning of this manual (see section A Warning to the Potential User). How do I install the Mono/Fury (Windows 32 bit version)? Just copy the files monofury.dll and monofury.ini from the ZIP archive you have...

No. I would add a more flexible modulation infrastructure and velocity sensitivity as well, but that would be a new synth like the blooo and not a “bigger” Mono/Fury. How do I know if a new version of the Mono/Fury is available? When connected to the Internet, open the Options menu (see section Program and File Menu) by clicking the disk icon and select the entry “Check Online for Updates”.
