New machine for Mnm

Hallo,
In my opinion there is a big gap in MnM synth machine ,in the field of synchable osc (pitch track) and ring modulated osc.
What we have seems to me quite useless.
Did they forgot something in the MnM

As already written above, the Mnm is already enhanced to the max. But what you can still do, is use the user wavetables to bring in the sounds you miss. Try around with this. Amazing things are possible, E.g.: pseudo polyphony on one track.

the Monomachine IS the Monomachine … there’s already a lot to dig into, i would look at other Elektron’s machines for other features or … Elektron could come up with an ‘all-in-one’ box to please everyone

I really love the MnM but please,if possible, a few sequencer/arp tweaks would rock my world. Namely. length per track and P.Lockable Arp

Love the posts stating you don’t need anything more for the MnM. How could anyone tell you that you can’t want more? Ridiculous

Always want more!

For me, it’d be length per track and micro timing…

I agree on this. Also fwd/bwd seq.
I would gladly offer chorus/flanger and even VO-6 for this.

micro timing would be nice as well

I have a feeling that there won’t ever be any os updates for the MnM…

I’m sure no one there knows about or wants to support that platform. Its old CPU and bits now. My only bug report years ago came back with a “that’s the way it is” reply.

Brings a tear to my eye. :¬°(

I totally understand that the MnM is most likely just the way it is now (and I love it for all that). I do however wish that I could change the synthesis machine without resetting all the amplification, filter, effects etc. pages.

I’m assuming that there’s no easy way of doing that?

You have to hold Function down when you press Enter to set a new Synth.

cpkcpk · 2014-02-26T16:11:43.000Z

If you press Function + Yes to select a new machine, it keeps all the filter, amp, fx etc settings the same.

Fuseball · 2014-02-26T19:13:03.000Z

That’s awesome. Thank you maass and cpkcpk.

I always forget that there’s a whole load of half-documented shortcuts with the MnM.

I’ve found the MNM definitely grows on you, it’s a seriously deep machine & it requires effort to get the most out of it.
As for extending it, I doubt it! I think it’s maxed to hilt?

Where did you read this and from Elektron? I’d love some definitive word on this. Not sure I’d believe this anyway if Elektron said it as further hours of R&D aren’t going to help there bottom line… best chance would be a private developer alá JJ

I spoke to Jon from Elektron personally on the phone a couple of years ago, and asked him about possible improvements to the monomachine OS. He told me exactly the same that has been mentioned here a few times already. No room left for new features.

Doesn’t it use the same chip as the Virus ?
My snow seen some decent updates since i bought it in 2010
I dunno
Kinda disheartening news for a new owner though, even if slightly so.

I haven’t gotten any updates for my electric bass that I bought in the early '90s. Funny though… it still sounds great!

At some point the instrument has to be complete. I’m totally okay with that. Less time spent being disappointed or worrying = more time for being creative.
