Re: mono & machinedrum together?

2005-03-29 by sargeant_damien

hi there,

i have a monomachine and i just got a machine drum to go with it. 
the go together great. of course the mono has a six track midi 
sequencer, so you can program all your synths and drums from the 
mono, or you can write your drum patterns on the mdrum and use midi 
timecode or song pointer - i suppose either unit could be the master 
but i like sequencing on the mono because you get 4 bars for each 
pattern... i haven't got the mono os that has step sequencing yet so 
i just chain patterns together..

before i got the mdrum i was using a novation dstation. it is an 
808/909 emulator. it sounds really good but the mdrum add so much 
life and unpredictability to the sound of the mono. together the 
units offer an amazing range of sounds that allow you to take your 
music into the nether regions.

bye from damien
