Monomachine Love Thread

Living life since 2016, when the thread started, Ha.
Seems simpler to buy a new otmk2!
Good luck with it though, mate

Yes, you should really get a Monomachine :wink:

If you are intrested, i got one of the Ruin&Wesen Monojoystick Prototypes, pretty raw build quality, in german we call it ā€œLochrasterplatineā€. Something is wrong with it.

Or do you have some of the documentery from Ruin&Wesen?

I can send you my Monomachine for some time, i think you get fixed pretty fast.

Do it! MegaMonoJoyCommand! Long live the silver boxes!

This device would really fill many gaps in the MnM functionalities

hey jshell and thanks for reminding us the power of the monomachine .
yeah you are right : the MAP EDITOR is just a very powerful feature and I think a very few people are using it .
my monomachine is also linked with an Octatrack and I have experiment controlling the pattern with an octatrack midi track , controlling the MAP EDITOR midi channel of the mono and yes , you can make crazy stuff with this stuff ; mostly it is very convinient to make the monomachine sequencer less static . great !
I have a question regarding this function : when you change pattern thanks to MIDI notes , it is restarting the pattern at the beginning , even if you send a note let ā€˜s say at step 6 , it will start the pattern at step one and not step 6 . is it possible to trigger patterns in this way ?

for those who missed it, hereā€™s the new version of the MM randomizer :slight_smile:

Just played a synth ā€œopen micā€ night with just the Monomachine and analog heat, doing a single 10-15 minute song. The crowd really enjoyed it.

Was this said in a sassy manner with handclaps to accent each word?? If so, love it.

Also monomachine2. Or polymachine where each track can now be polyphonic more like digitone but with updated MnM machines

Iā€™ve had my MonoMachine since 2009 and its been equal parts frustrating and brilliant. I cannot part with it. I reckon we need to storm the Elektron headquarters and make them reissue the Mono.

Frustrating?! How so?

It takes a lot to massage the sound and often it just doesnā€™t get near what I had in mind. A Virus I can get the sound in minutes. The MonoMachine, nope. And then Iā€™ll get something glorious when I wasnā€™t expecting it. I am working on dubbed out techno chords and getting really good results at the moment. Itā€™s random though, Iā€™ll go for a long period without being satified with the results.

Yeah I find I often have to just go where it takes me, rather than having a specific sound in mind and creating it exactly as I imaginedā€¦ Thatā€™s still kinda great though :smiley:

The integrated p-locked step sequencer is the magic sauce.
