Sounds really good; super nice pedal too from what I’m hearing. Well done!

well, to be fair, two of them are samplers… your point is still perfectly valid, of course! I’m just saying that basically brings their entire studio in as a sound source.
they definitely had mkI versions at some point as much of Untilted utilized MD and MnM. as did the corresponding tour (saw 'em in Philly!) where the setup was basically the same as described here. I think the MD then wasn’t even a UW version, as it hadn’t been out long enough to be used on the record. now, did they upgrade to mkII’s or + drives? no idea.

Quick question. The unofficial Nord Virtual Modular on mac doesn’t work in performance mode right?
There is only slot A available for patches.?
Yes that’s correct: the demo G2 has one ‘monophonic’ slot.

Yes youre right i have the MKI UW the first User Wave that hits the market in us and the patterns songs and kits work without a problem.
Machinedrum SPS-1UW MKI (2007) Autechre Syssex Confirmed
I think it’s a mk2… if you look closely you can see there are four LEDs above the scale setup button, as opposed to the mk1’s three

That is really nice! No clue how much of it is “you” versus “pattern” but it sounds pretty damn good!
Thank you! I must admit there was more machine influence over this track than anything i’ve ever made. (Maybe it should stay that way 
)
I programmed the drums on MPC 1000, then did some live muting and sending certain bits into MnM track six for the delay and filter sweeps.
The MnM pattern is just single trigs on the first bar, with the pitch of the ensemble machine changing with each pass via LFO’s. I was simply directing which tracks were being sent through the C/D output into Keeley Darkside for distortion, delay, rotary, and univibe.

I can confirm Monomachine SFX60 MKII (2007) works 100% (non + drive version)
Has anyone tested specifically on this model Machinedrum SPS-1 MKII (2007) (non UW model?)
Thanks
I’ve been excitedly reading this thread all week as I’ve had no time to be able to get my MnM and MD out and setup ready to play about with the sysex. But even without being able to do that, the conversation and insight from people on this thread has been great and has planted more than a few ideas to explore… and not just for the classic silver boxes. A lot of this stuff is applicable for a whole host of scenarios.
Though, there is a touch of embarrassment as I’ve had my MnM for about 9 years now and for some reason never properly looked into HOLD LFOs… feeling bashful about that!

should work on all devices - just limited to 32 steps i assume, on the mk1s.

the machinedrum sysex dump actually has a good handful of arrangements made in Song mode, lots of dialed in Start and End points on patterns to give the patterns cool rhythmic variations not possible via just straight out playing the patterns normally.
i think the ‘Do not use Song Mode’ is more just an instruction on how to perform the md and mnm in that context of playing the full 2008 set.
they def explored and utilized song mode outside of that

for Ae heads…
did you see on the ABOUT page of Ae’s bleep store, under the period by AUTECHRE middle top of the page there is a link to this…
444 [a track name] videos of image generated noise. anyone have a way to decode the images? or figure out what they hid in the sound?
this is hidden in the Youtube avatar for that page…
edit: Nov 18…
another 99 vids found today. under diff playlist header, this time the vids look like 2d images pushed into 3d exploded projections.

Is every pattern 4 bars on the Machinedrum? --just trying to figure out what MK1 owners will miss out on
MD patterns are 32 steps. MM patterns are 64.
An old trick was to jump into song mode to grab some crazy loops then revert back to pattern mode. Dataline did it a lot.
This is wicked, gonna have a good look at this.
Those comp settings are spot on. Long attack, mega short decay & gained up. Old drum group trick or as the cool kids say, ‘stems’ lol
