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).
