Going to Learn the MonoMachine

medearis · 2014-05-31T09:40:43.000Z

I’ve been playing with one off & on now for a little bit but I NEVER have quite got along with it for some strange reason! I have the option to borrow one for an extended amount of time (again) but this time… I really want to learn something.

The machine is VERY difficult for me to tweak… I’ve been 'round these forums long enough to know that I’m not the only one that feels this way. Is there a compiled “MonoMachine Newbie” file some where? Not just general tips & tricks but a serious tweak guide. I’ve not been able to make any satisfying sounds with it yet but I also never put the time in. This time though, I’m really wanting to.

She’ll be sitting on the desk with my MPC 1K, Arturia MicroBrute and the Volca series (though I’m thinking about going just MnM & Beats for the time so I can focus in more).

Any words from the vets? I’m completely excited about seeing the machine tomorrow! I’m hoping that I’ll be playing on it for a few months straight.

I appreciate it. Thanks!

Try the old forum’s files section.

-> Files
-> Apps/Docs
-> Tips/FAQ sheets

…TiB’s (especially) and Tarekith’s tips documents should get you started and keep you occupied for some time. Both are compliations of previous forum posts with lots of thoughts on sound design.

Down the road after you’ve got your bearings, look for Veets’s Next Level document, just Google that.

Hope this helps
