Elektron Monomachine - Manual (Page 2)

PARAMETER LOCKS
Parameter locks are the secret weapon of the Monomachine. They allow
parameter changes per note trig.
1. Make sure GRID RECORDING MODE is activated. If deactivated, press the
[RECORD] key to activate it.
2. Select track 1 and press the [DATA PAGE] keys until the FILTER PAGE (a)
becomes active.
3. Press and hold a [TRIG] key containing a note trig. While holding the
[TRIG] key, turn DATA ENTRY KNOB A to change the BASE parameter. This
will alter the frequency of the filter, filtering out more low frequencies the
more you turn the knob. Note how the parameter graphics become inverted.
That indicates the parameter has been locked to the selected value.
4. Release the [TRIG] key. The led above the note trig is now flashing,
indicating the note trig now contains a parameter lock.
5. Press [PLAY] (f) to start the sequencer and hear what the locked note
sounds like.
 All parameters found in the DATA PAGES can be locked. A note trig
can contain several parameter locks.
ADJUSTING PARAMETERS
Each of the six tracks features seven pages of parameters. These parameters
affect the sound of the machine assigned to the track.
1. Make sure GRID RECORDING MODE is deactivated (e). If activated, press
the [RECORD] key (c) to deactivate.
2. Select the first track by pressing the [TRACK 1] key (h).
3. Select the SYNTHESIS PAGE (d) by pressing the [DATA PAGE] keys (g).
Use the DATA ENTRY KNOBS (b) to affect the parameters. Press the [TRIG]
keys ( j)—which will trigger the sound of the selected track—repeatedly while
turning the DATA ENTRY KNOBS to hear how the parameters affect the
sound.
 Press a DATA ENTRY KNOB while turning it to increase the speed of
the parameter value change.
 When GRID RECORDING MODE is not active the [TRIG] keys
function as a keyboard. Change octave by pressing the [UP] and
[DOWN ARROW] (i) keys.
