QUICKSTART GUIDE:
MONOMACHINE
PROGRAMMING
A
PATTERN
The Monomachine sequencer is very quick to operate. Is is possible to input
notes both on a 64-step grid and in real time. Here the
GRID RECORDING
mode will be explained.
1. The
RECORD LED
(
e
) indicates whether
GRID RECORDING
mode is active
or not. A lit
RECORD LED
means the mode is active. If the mode is not active,
activate it by pressing the
[RECORD]
key(
d
) .
2. Select the first track by pressing the
[TRACK 1]
key(
g
) .
3. Lit
TRIG LED's
(
i
) indicate note trigs. Enter note trigs by pressing the
[TRIG]
keys. If the track is longer than 64 steps of length, select the step range
that should be edited by pressing the
[SCALE SETUP]
key (
h
) . If a note trig is
pressed and held, a little mini-keyboard will pop up in the lower left side of the
lcd screen. Here the pitch of the note trig is seen. While the
[TRIG]
key of the
note trig is pressed and held the
[LEFT]
and
[RIGHT ARROW]
keys (
k
) can
be used to assign a new pitch value to the note trig.
4. Press
[PLAY]
. When the running sequencer led hits the note trigs, the
machine assigned to track 1 will be trigged and therefore generate sound.
Notes can be entered and removed while the sequencer is playing.
PLAYING
A
PATTERN
The Monomachine can contain up to 128 patterns. Each pattern consists of six
internal tracks and six midi tracks. Each internal track contains a machine.
Machines either generate sounds or function as an effect.
1. Make sure the
MASTER VOLUME KNOB
(
a
) is turned up.
2. Check so
BANK GROUP A-D
(
c
) is selected. The
BANK GROUP
currently
selected is indicated by the two led's above the
[SLIDE]
key. If
BANK GROUP
A-D
is not selected, press the
[BANK]
key (
b
) .
3. Choose pattern a01 by holding the
[PATTERN SELECTION]
key (
j
) marked
A and pressing the first
[TRIG]
key (
m
) . Pattern a02 is selected by pressing
the
[PATTERN SELECTION]
key and
[TRIG]
key 2.
4. Press
[PLAY]
(
f
) to listen to the pattern.
Patterns can be changed without having to stop the sequencer.
Open the
MUTE MENU
by pressing and holding the
[FUNCTION]
key and pressing the
[BANK]
key. Mute individual tracks by pressing
the six leftmost
[TRIG]
keys. Press the
[TRIG]
keys again to make the
tracks audible. Exit the
MUTE MENU
by pressing [
EXIT/NO] (l)
.
