listening on cheesy earbuds but man this sounds great from here. right in the pocket with tasty synth and perc lines. i know some tech heads in this town who would groove to this.

cheers, I’m glad you dig it.

Nice one, Adam! :slight_smile:

Impressive! Makes me wanna get the MnM (which by the way you inspired me to consider) that bit more :slight_smile:

Sounds great! I love that main bass line / sound, super cool and the variations are spot on.

Is that the fm dynamic machine playing the main riff?

So, yea, the track is laid out like this:
12 step, 3/4 time sig. 1 pattern.

Tr1: DPRO-BBOX (heavily p-locked C0 kick and 1/8th note hat)
Tr2 DPRO-BBOX (16th note hat with Amp-Dec LFO + Effx-Dsnd LFO)
Tr3: DPRO DDRW (high pitched synth that comes in once in a while. 2 Oxford Overdrive waveforms
Tr4: FM-STAT (main riff, no automation, just live filtering + FM tweakery)
Tr5: Reverb (I think MnM does a solid HF plate reverb, HP at 12 o’clock, short decay, gate at 1 o’clock)
Tr6: Empty

This is, more or less, a rough live version recorded stereo 2 track. I’ve been composing a new live set, and this is part of it.
I am going to record this again multitrack to my DAW, using the 6 outputs for the final mix version, with variations and a bit longer recording time, to be released on Chroma Recordings with a couple other MnM tracks.

I love the Monomachine. For techno, it can be a do-it-all box, but you have to succumb to it’s timbre, especially if you want to do a lot of drums (and therefore utilize the BBOX somewhat). There’s not a lot happening in the BBOX in the low/mid register. You can p-lock the EQ and filter for some things, but overall there’s not really much there to bring out with EQ or filters in the first place. So, to get a full sound, what works for me is using the synths to synthesize either additional percussion in that register, or riffs that can work with notation down there.
The Rytm+MnM tracks sound completely different, and a bit more polished, but I really like how the MnM points me in a unique direction when I limit myself to using it standalone.

nice. you are milking a fat sound out of the MnM. i’m always impressed by MnM only tracks. the machine just seems to draw unique music out of its operators.
