MONOMACHINE SYNTHESIS ARRANGEMENT
18
MONOMACHINE KITS
The Monomachine does not arrange sounds in what is commonly referred to as “patches”.
The Monomachine equivalence of a “patch” depends on which way you are using it.
•
If you use the six tracks as individual synthesizers, or in POLY mode, then you
could see a kit as carrying six “patches”. The kit would then be the equivalence to
what in common synthesizer terms is referred to as a “performance”.
•
If you use the MULTI TRIG mode, then all six tracks would be trigged from the
Multi Trig track. A kit would then be the direct equivalence of what is commonly
referred to as a “patch”.
•
If you use the MULTI TRIG mode and incorporate the sequencer, then your “patch”
would incorporate both the kit and the sequencer pattern from which it is linked.
If you are used to the structure of ordinary synthesizers, the Monomachine way of structur-
ing sounds in patterns and kit might be confusing at first. Hopefully, after some time of use
you will appreciate the flexibility and ease of use of the Monomachine implementation.
THE LINK BETWEEN KITS AND PATTERNS
Each pattern with data is associated with a certain kit, which will be recalled when the pat-
tern is played. This way, you know playing a certain pattern always gives the same result,
and that the parameter locks make sense.
•
Be careful to save any changes you have made to your kit that you want to keep.
Changing pattern might change kit and then you will lose the old kit settings.
•
If two patterns use the same kit, the kit will not be reloaded when changing pat-
tern.
