Sort of like the Sequential Prophet-600. Patches loaded with CASSETTES. Most renowned for its nicely choursed string beds. Limited envelopes, but it was cheap AND good at the time. The MonoPoly had one bizarre thing going for it no one else ever applied that I know of: You could play it 4-note polyphonically, using the oscillaltors separately. You could play it DUOphonically with 2 oscillators per note. Or you could stack all FOUR for phat mono playing. Nice razory sound played up high. I'd love to see that kind of odd architecture offered someplace again, some basic cross-modulation options,,,WITH the knobs! The MS2000 will do this and then some, but if I really wanted to get interactively organic widdit, that'd be the config I'd go for...
