monomachine mk1 has 64 steps, its the machinedrum mk1 with the 32 step limit

Yeah. I thought of making my own
The biggest reason for a mk ii is the +drive imo. I was always running out of storage before and sysex dumping is a drag at best and impossible if you happen to be playing out somewhere.

Hey guys Iām pretty new to the MNM party and I just canāt get my head around the structure of this thing: Snapshots, Globals, Kits+Patterns, Digibanks. The manual is very well written but also very complex. Do you know any source where this system is explained a bit more understandable for a longtime DT user ? Thx!

iād say for the first little while donāt worry about snapshots, globals, or digibanks. learn them as you need to use them.
it took me forever to finally get something going on mine, donāt give up!
My set up is a DT+MNM
Snapshots = Projects
Globals = Project settings
Kits = Presets and can be linked to multiple patterns
Patterns = sequences
Digibanks = banks to load user waveforms for use in the digipro machines only one bank can be loaded at a time per project

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense in very few words 
Hi all! I am about to get an MK1 version of this beautiful machine. What should I look for when I am checking the device condition? Are there any usual problems? Also, I am curious does Elektron repair these still? If no where can it be repaired?

I know now why they stopped making it
why? Lack of sales?
working on one of my tracks after a couple months away, accidentally morphed one into a trance banger thanks to the mono arp and filter 
dancing around like a fool now!
well lack of sales, but the reason for lack of sales is cause the interface. It does so much, but the way they designed the āmachinesā takes a really long time to wrap your head around what does what, the sounds are mind blowing but until you invest a lot of time with the engines, and then wrap your head around what you want the sequencer to control for you, itās makes you feel like a stupid monkey trying to get it to sing without knowing what youāre doing or having a manual, or the time to dig in the manual. Itās just too powerful for its own good, Monomachine is like an airplane cockpit, wall to wall of options that you can spend hours with and it will still sound like a gameboy if you donāt know what to do, but plop a digitone down and it feels like a fisher price toy, but instant fun and quickly sounds really really expensive, no matter what. I guess thatās why they go the direction they go now getting smaller and more focused in product design, less capability but more readily available great sounds. Just with a couple LFOs and trig conditions and probability you can still mangle a digitone to be as batshit insane as a monomachine, just way easier and faster.
