Monomachine automating Kaoss Pad parameters

A few hours’ work today. All audio generated on Monomachine, manipulated by KP3+ (running back into the Monomachine’s compressor) and a Behringer RV600 reverb.

KP3’s program changes and hold function were plocked, and X/Y settings assigned to LFOs. It was a bit tricky to set up—next time I’ll probably work on refining the LFO settings so I have more control, but I’m pretty happy with how this turned out, especially in the second section where it gets a bit more sparse.

I’m also really happy with how the compressor sounds; perhaps I overdid it a little in this track but I find it gives a nice cloudy/unified sound to the glitching.

I really like the sound of it !

Thanks! I’m finally starting to play with the monomachine more. I spent about 3 months away from it, instead concentrating on nanoloop for a while (I had a bunch of chiptune gigs lined up)… and after making music on a gameboy for 3 months, the MnM is so lush in comparison, haha!

I think it’s time to take a bit of a break from live gigs so I can concentrate on getting some nice MnM patterns together!

Very nice!

Loved the first half, where everything is more urgent, but the dub is good, too.

really enjoying these experiments, they’re opening my ears to some possibilities … thanks again for posting.

I am quite digging this also - the Monomachine is kind of the gift that keeps on giving in my studio.
Great work with it here also and I like this - for a few hours work its superb.
Worth refining into something more solidly defined as a body of work as well IMHO.

thanks guys! here’s another one, this time with only minimal, non-automated KP3 usage:

Loving this. The Monomachine wipes the floor with those Analog whipper-snappers, in my opinion!

thanks!

Yeah I love analog synths, but after getting the monomachine, I’m pretty obsessed with super digital sounds now.
