I should also point out. Enabling TONAL tuning increase the PTC range of most machines by several octaves.
Hint Hint: EFM-HH does bass now.

So coolā¦ Next step for me is to find a way to play tune them chromaticallyā¦ Maybe a good way to learn how to use max4live.
Thank you for this beauty guys.
What do I need to read to get a basic understanding of how you managed to edit the firmware? I assume there is no uncompiled C++ code inside the machine?
Elektron have requested that we not divulge any information regarding how we manage to create the firmware.
That being said, thereās a few recent examples of similar achievements for old game consoles that would give you a feel for the work involved.

I got it running and itās awesome. Brought a little tear to my eye to get tonal chords and bass lines just from the MD. Also I like the new snare, the video I saw of it previously doesnāt do it justice.

Awesome work guys! I tried the x.04 OS and have a little bug report: trig preview doesnāt work when the LFO screen is open.

This is so great. Fantastic work - thank you!
Put together this jam last night, adding some percussion and tonal sounds to a Monomachine sample in the MD. Other than the MNM sample itās all MD with internal parallel compression, some SSL g-bus compression, and finally, a bit of Goodhertz Tupeās Opto-Limiter.

I went into KIT / EDIT then FUNCTION COPY to copy a machine. When I then move to another track via the jog dial and paste it, the machine is set to DEFAULT.
No big deal at all to be honest.

default is the default when you add/copy direct from kit menu.
If you add a machine to a track, change it to tonal, copy that track and paste to another track itāll retain the setting.

You can already microtime well enough with swing per track. Itās not perfect and youād have to do it uniformly on any hits that use it, but itās still a possibility.
Trig conditions on the other handā¦ If they give me trig conditions and scale and/or length per track, then youāre talking about a serious modern upgrade to this sequencer.
But now I feel kind of greedy, this is already a huge, HUGE step.

I had trouble with the tonal scale at first because I had totally forgotten every note on a keyboard is a half tone apart, not a full tone. Iām even more blown away now that I can get my chords properly dialled in lol.
I have a small feature request. While the LFO menu is open I would like to be able to use the left and right arrow keys to move between tracks.

Just noticed my MD locking up while mashing trig 6, upon inspection I found this mystery āmachineā on the track which previous didnāt have anything assigned to it. I was messing around with the MCL prior to noticing this so maybe it came from there.
Anyone else encounter this yet?
I just tested. All the thanks goes to [redacted] dev teamš
Never seen this ghost machine myself, but Iām not an MCL user. See if you can replicate and report in MCL thread.

If you install this on the very first SPS-1, will it have 32 steps or 64? 
Can confirm. Machine copy in kit editor does not persist tonal setting.

Can confirm, trig preview not enabled in LFO menu. Thanks!
Funny I didnāt ever think of testing this

Pls?

This is more likely to be an issue on the MCL side. Glitched kits with broken tracks is usually the result of some bad MIDI data. Can you send me a PM.
