Mono is a software that employs subtractive synthesis to generate electronic music by eliminating specific harmonic frequencies.
One caveat with Mono is that the audio configuration process can be a bit tricky and requires some technical knowledge to succeed. Despite this, there are many key features that make Mono an attractive choice for music producers.
Some of these features include a versatile oscillator (although not yet fully bandlimited), a 4-pole all-pole low-pass filter, an ADR envelope generator, and a single pattern sequencer. However, one downside to the software is its somewhat unattractive graphical user interface.
Mono offers real-time audio output on Linux, IRIX, and Solaris operating systems. To properly run this software, users must meet certain requirements, including Sonic Flow version >= 0.1.3, Gtk-- version >= 1.1.8, libaudiohw version >= 0.2.0, libsoundfile version >= 1.0.0, libpbd version >= 1.0.0, libsigc++ version >= 0.8.5, GTK+/Glib version >= 1.2.5, POSIX threading (libpthread), and the C++ Standard Template Library (which comes with GCC 2.95).
Overall, despite some technical limitations and requirements, Mono is a valuable software tool for subtractive synthesis and offers an impressive range of features that are sure to please music producers looking for a powerful tool to add to their arsenal.
