Dual Elektron MonoMachines (plus Eventide Space)

Just gonna go ahead and say that this is the best MnM performance out there :slight_smile: really enjoying this

dusts off MnM

Thank you very much!

very nicely done. :slight_smile:

Thanks ipassenger!

Still makes me think iā€™d prefer a second MnM over my OT.
Beautiful.

Great laid back track. I love it. Mnm is my favorite elektron piece.

For anyone who says that the Monomachine is cold and harsh, look no further than this track.

Using distortion on many of the machine types (FM, in particular) can yield some unexpected organic-sounding textures.

Try it on the FM and SID machines (especially with PWM) and tell me it doesnā€™t sound nice.

Is that what you did for some of the sounds, here?
Kudos on the drum programming, too.

Thanks again :slight_smile:

@glitched: Iā€™m not sure I remember what I did for the sounds, but I agree about distortion. Iā€™m pretty sure it was on those ā€˜beefierā€™ bass notes. Adds quite a thinckness to it, or as you put it, ā€˜organicā€™ sounding. In fact, thatā€™s probably the closest thing thatā€™s sounded like my oberheim matrix 1000!

Ah, cool to see you on this Forums, been listening to your music since i had GAS on the specki :joy: .
Amazing stuff with those 2 monomachines !

Thanks whet!

Looks like itā€™ll be a while before I can write anything else with these units. I managed to damage both of them when I put some machinescrews into the ear-rack holes. :-1:

Have you gotten a Speckie?

Really impressed with that! Is there anyway I could download and listen to it on the go etc?
Iā€™m definitely going to give my MnM a go tonight. But Iā€™ve always found a problem sequencing it melodically. Wish it had a Keyboard like the A4 and wouldnā€™t rely on P locks for note data

Oman, that sounds really bad, i hope you didnt damage the boards or something :disappointed: .

I was like a year after a specki2 at the right price. Its not easy to get them under 1k (got outbid @900 euro last sek on ebay 1 time, that was my chanceā€¦) + they are kinda uncommon . In the end i decided to get an Octatrack first.

@wintermute:

I donā€™t have it available for download quite yet. Sorry :confused:

You really donā€™t need a keyboard or p-locks to sequence the MnM melodically. You just hold down a step and then shift the little keyboard on the screen to the desired note. I think it works really well. You can also record real-time playing.

@whetā€¦

Actually, the boards are damaged. Total crap fest over here.

I bet the octatrack was great, though. A shame you lost on that ebay bid!

hehe, sorry thatā€™s what I meant. Just was frustrating for me. Much prefer the A4 way. But I might give it a second go!

You should :wink:

I recreated a nintendo song entirely using that method of sequencing:

stunning

The problem with guys like you is that youā€™re so brillant and re-activate our GAS.

Haha, sorry!

Thanks for the kind words though :slight_smile:

Nice composition man.

I would love to hear even more complex beats and melodies. To be honest, that is the first time I watch a double MnM combo. Two units must be monstrous in terms of productivity - massive drums + other melodic stuff. We all know that FX machines are so cool but ā€œeatā€ your tracks. Maybe 2 units is the ultimate combo. When it comes to the MnM, I am mad about it, as really do not understand why people do not spare time exploring it thoroughly.

Well, yeah, steep learning curve, as it has been already mentioned in a previous topic, but still very massive unit. Congrats for this combo, I am listening how youā€™re getting on with it and want to see/hear more! I am a MnM soloist and want to be a double MnM soloistā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That was AMAZING!

I had never seen that video, that was really a treat. Also the megaman one was top notch as well.

Did you ever fix them? I cant believe some mount screws messed up not one but two of themā€¦

If you did fix them, what was the problem? Did the metal cause a short?
