Drums are always fun to run through a synth's ext input. Set up a drum machine (not a Volca though, you need one with MIDI out) and run it's output into the Monologue and set the Monologue to the same MIDI channel as you drum machine is set to. Connect the drum machine's MIDI out to the Monologue's MIDI in. Now hit play on the drum machine. The MIDI notes will trigger the Monologue, allowing the drum machine to be processed by the Monologue. Also the Monologue will play seemingly random notes in time with the drum machine. It's an old trick, but a fun one. An artist from the 90's/00's named Cylob used it a lot to very good effect. If you really want to get tricky, set the notes your drum machine's instruments are set to to be that of your favourite scale. By doing that you may even make semi-generative melodies.
Have Fun!
Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here
