Micromonsta 2

Got to spend some more time making patches this weekend, thought I’d upload some short recordings for anyone who wants to hear more sounds from this synth.



Really enjoying performing with the 3 extra encoders. Need to make a template for my EC4 so i can tweak both tracks same time.

How’s your patch-a-day going?

The machines seem to have shuffled themselves around overnight and a MM shaped hole opened up…

Surely enough space for MM1, MM2 is smaller…
I sold my Virus TI and Tetra…

Yes I measured it like a good obsessive :call_me_hand:

I went back through your patches:

  • Favourite: CosomSwp as a big space pad
  • Found Rain a very impressive SFX, hadn’t expected MM2 could do that
  • OsyMoto and Radium were cool lead/pad hybrids

I took a bit of time out for the holiday. And then a bit more to make small demos for each of the patches (Micromonsta2 Patch-a-Day by jemmons | Joshua Emmons | Free Listening on SoundCloud) so people can get a sense if they’re worth installing the sysex .

I’m going to take one more day to get a web page up for all of that, but then it’s time to jump back on that horse!

Second hand with higher price than new. Great people.

There’s always gonna be those folk out there. Dude was fairly mild with his price gougery and I suck at waiting for stuff so here we are. I suppose I contributed to the problem by buying it at the hiked price, but in this instance and very specifically with this little synth that’s gonna take me to the moon, I could not care less. Honestly he could have got more, I’m weak for this one.

I don’t blame you.
Some Octatrack AE went to 6000€ after 2 weeks…

Does anyone have any advice for dialling the delay in on this? It doesn’t seem to have time syncing likei believe the MM1 had.

Is it possible to create something like this to help dial it in?

There is no delay tempo sync on MM1 and MM2, you can’t write such a sheet.

Ok, sorry I thought I’d read there was on mm1! By ear then, I guess? :wink: Or is there a way to calculate the timing at all? Say I wanted a 1/8 at 120bpm and the delay works scales from 0-127, and ranges from 0-10secs, so we could work out the value for 250ms, etc? Or is that not possible?

I’m not sure about that.

Unless the price in dollars at audiothingies has no VAT or something ?

Still worth it anyway :grinning:

Yes, not that bad…

A little off-topic, but you’ve reminded me that the Delay with tim set to 0ms is a super useful chorus-y and phase-y effect.

That, and at 0 I suppose you don’t have to worry about BPM :wink:

Yes, with mod 1/2.

At max, the delay seems to be at 120 bpm, maybe 1 or 2 s, I didn’t check properly.

At 64, x1/2, at 96, x0.75, etc…

Hi!

cant get Glide as destination working in the mod matrix, it doesnt respond to any source ,(mono or poly) anyone else got it working?

It works, but you need to set the glide parameter to 1 (at least) for the modulation to work
