damn but that sounds like it was fun to make
loved the evolution of the mnm line … goes well with the ar groove, which fills it out nicely.
Loads of fun.
MonoMachine is a on loan from a friend who may or may not sell it to me, and this was the first thing I made with the MnM/Rytm combo.
I’m sold on the AR/A4/MnM trifecta for techno.
It’s the routing that does it for me with MnM.
Doing a lot of FX stacking and treating it as 1 voice synth with 12 filters, 6 delays, 18 LFOs, loads of trashy FX. Like a nice little modular setup.
It does the dirty work that the A4 is too proud to do.
sounds badass. looking at mono machines now… hahah. kick + sub rumble was very nice. Is that all the Rytm? Been trying to get that low end rumble for a while in my productions! (i have a rytm btw)
All Rytm on the drums. MonoMachine going directly into Rytm input. No post processing.
Kick is a BD FM machine kick layered with a MachineDrum kick sample (2nd in the MD-BD Sample chain within the “MD Hits + Tape = Rytm” upload available in the Files section)
That rumble is all BD FM decay.
For a good rumble, sometimes I’ll either p-lock or automate an overdrive LFO on the kick to come in just at the end to beef up the decay.
I like the Rytm compressor a great deal for techno.
The Rytm also has a massive sweetspot for just sounding good. Even when I work in headphones which I prefer not to because the sound rarely translates good enough,… when I turn up the speakers, aside from a couple minor leveling changes, the mixes translate particularly well.
The filters and signal path really glue it all together, I think.
