Hello fellow elektronauts

Here is a draft version of a laid back ‘chill-track’:

It’s pure Monomachine using the FM machine.

Comments are welcomed and appreciated.

All best,

Gorgeous. The bent notes give it a wonderful plaintive quality. Looking forward to the finished piece!

Sounds good. Sounds like you went wild with the ARP sequencer with good results.

I kept expecting some pad swells and other ambient echo/reverb stuff. I think the ongoing arp stuff is cool, but feels like it needs to move forward a litter quicker with an introduction of a new or differnt sound.

I give you bonus points for using the MNM only! My favorite machine.

Thanks a lot guys.

@Freefall: actually it’s not the arp sequencer, but simply 4 FM-tracks playing different notes (through a track w/ reverb).
I have not really experimented much with the arpeggiator, but you just got me interested in that.-).

Thanks for the constructive feedback btw. I have one track left on the mnm to develop the track further. Just have to figure out how to make best use out of that last track. Limitations are fun:-)

The arp sequencer is pretty deep in its own right. Hours can be spent just learning what it can do.
** TIP **: You can record multiple notes (like a chord) onto a single trig in the Live Record mode. You can then copy and paste the trig that contains the arp notes to other trigs, if you want.
Integrating note offsets, LFO routings, and stacking tracks can create some wild stuff.
