Trigger the first note with all and then change to an amp trigger?

This thread always inspires me to explore the MnM more. Itās so cool to hear what kind of stuff can be made with it.
Currently I work at a photo shop and have tons of idle time here to go through manuals etc and today I started reading the MnM tips and tricks thing once again and feel so blessed to own the Monomachine.
Itās truly a device that seems more an more unique as time goes by.
Iām planning to hook it up to my Tascam 244 portastudio and make a release using only those.
Iāve been lazy learning basic stuff like saving sounds so that different patterns have entirely different sounds and stuff like that.
This has to change NOW.

A musician here from Frankfurt called Worsel Strauss made a cover song of Depeche Modeās āWrongā (
) entirely with the MM

right! thatās the final boss of the mnm
It helps to plan things out on paper. Start with simple words. Vowels first and then consonants.
Practice a bit and it will get easier.

Not sure what you mean by that.
Karplus-Strong?
edit: okay, a joke then 
I thought it might be possible to send the GND machineās env clicks into the ab bus and have a flanger with cranked fb and the internal LFO depth at zero, receiving the clicks to excite it. That would have been cool as modulating the GND machineās env attack would have resulted in missing notes for nice trig randomization.
There must be some reason for this machine thoughā¦
I donāt own the MM but I love it and I need it!

Last weekend I decided to replace the screen card of my Monomachine, as the LCD had started to fade.
I practiced on an old PCB, then with a desoldering gun I removed the tin from every pin, but could still not take off the screen card.
I then used an soldering iron with no success. Then a heating gun that unfortunately destroyed the old LCD. At this point, I had basically lost my Monomachine, and was cursing myself for having tried something I hadnāt the skills for.
This weekend I decided to try again. I first had to unmount completely my desoldering tool that was not sucking the tin anymore.
I added some tin, then removed it with the desoldering gun, cleaning it regularly.
I eventually managed to remove the old screen card, and placed the new screen.
When I switched on the MM, the screen was all blank. I checked the soldering, switched on the Monomachine again, still a white screenā¦
Discouraged, I sat down and saw some thin black lines with the light of the outside. I used a screwdriver to turn the little trim pot next to the screen, figured it enhanced the brightness of the screen, and was relieved to see I had managed to fix my beloved MM.
I canāt tell you how happy I am.
