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.
