Program change to monologue query

That’s why I love me some Elektron! You can go NUTS :peanuts: with just about anything and everything you own or can own! Oh Sh.t! You can split input to different tracks on the Electrine? That’s gonna be fun. I could split the audio between DN and DT or even make a huge stereo field with just splitting and feeding to the DN and some extra OD and delay and reverb and… you giving me ideas here!!! :thinking: :laughing:

Yeah! I have Electribe2 (the synth). It features 1 minijack input, so only 1 device can be connected.
But I tried yesterday with just my Monologue with a already distorted massive big lead-bass, and could split the signal on 3 Electribe tracks, with differents filters & fx:

  • 1 with lp filter and bass boost fx (dont remember exact name
  • 1 with bp filter, moved by a lfo, and flanger fx, sent to master fx (chorus)
  • 1 with hp filter and distortion fx, signal sequenced to trigger just sometimes in a funky way.

Result: it sounds crazy and soooo massive!!! (not the vst :smiley: )
Needs some adjustment but it’s an example of what you can do.
And I used just 3 Electribe tracks, so with 16, with a more complex device, it can become evil! but probably a bit messy, and getting to voice stealing.
It’s maybe getting out of the original topic, but wanted to share this :wink:

We need to spin up a new thread - connecting hardware in unconventional ways - or something along those lines. I’ve been thinking about this all morning btw. Totally hijacking the thread (sorry) but it’s just so cool!

Semi back on topic, did you know you can loop the main output of the Monologue back into itself to the input jack? I may just have a weekend of plugging gear together as I haven’t done it yet but supposedly gives it even more growly aggressive sound. Stick a pedal on the output first and probably could make it even crazier.

Hey, nice idea about connecting Minilogue to itself, but I’m afraid of infinite feedback.
Just created a topic as you suggested :wink:

Hi there, I have similar issues with minilogue controlled by DT. I have all the settings as suggested in this very helpful topic but: whenever I switch to another pattern with a different program on the Minilogue, the first step sounds with the programm of the previous pattern… It’s very annoying. On the other hand If I send different program changes for every step in the same pattern, it plays correctly. Microtiming is the only solution? because it doesnt seems very usefull to me…

I know it’s an old topic, but is there anybody there who can help me?

It’s also a topic about the Monologue. Do you have a Minilogue instead? Slow program change response on the Minilogue seems to be an issue for some people:

that wasnt exactly my issues… but I will try there
