QUICKSTART GUIDE: MONOMACHINE

PROGRAMMING

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

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).
