Norand Mono (Analog Bass Synth with Sequencer)

Someone knows if there’s some pattern/patch reload? Thanks

See the discussion of live mode and patchless patterns in the manual. This is for 1.99 and earlier; I don’t know about the new beta.

latest beta (very long list of new features) is stable

Official release date for 2.0 is Feb 28. I’m going to wait.

Acid is certainly the style I gravitate towards when fooling around with the Mono.

Pattern morphing is around the corner:

I’m thrilled!

This does look very good indeed.

I have absolutely no idea how that works from a technological standpoint but it’s effing awesome.

can’t wait for their drum machine, given everything the mono can do.

Oooh, didn’t know they were doing a drum machine.

Don’t tell me these things! :open_mouth:

I doubt it’ll be dropping any time soon. 2024+ is my guess. but he’s been designing it for a while behind the scenes.

I think mono’s 2.0 os has been reworked from the ground up with all their future machines in mind so it can be modified & ported. correct me if I’m wrong, he mentioned something along those lines.

They are not the speediest at following up on promises. I’ll believe it when it happens.

I think 2.0 is taking so long for that exact reason. it’s being built from scratch rather than just added to. he mentioned this in a recent post.

The Spazedrum can also do pattern morphing, pitch and gates independently. I got both, MONO and Spazedrum, for trade.

You got them both in a trade or you’re putting them up for trade?

my bad English, sorry :wink: i put them both up for trade

That looks pretty fun. Looking forward to the update. I’ve recently returned to using the mono more frequently, it is a very interesting and immediate synth.

Thanks! Got through the update finally and hope this is stable enough to last me until past beta :slight_smile:

Yeah, I have to admit I have been letting mine take dust for a while. I was waiting for the new FW to come before fully diving in again, on the assumption that it would take a couple of weeks… But it took more than a year :smiley:

Anyway, it looks like V2.0 is going to be released for good now, and the new features made it worth waiting, it seems.

Anyone know if you can control that pattern blend thing with midi?

On my last record I have several tunes where the Mono is the only sound source. I sold it before I started compiling tunes and it made me miss the Mono. Pretty darn unique. I’d buy a Norand drum machine for sure! I’ve considered their eurorack module, but have yet to pull the trigger.
The first two tracks on this record are all Mono, sampled into OT or M8. Lots of other NM basses and leads on this record too.
