There is a minimal set of effects coming with the units now. Just a 
through effect (that does nothing but lead the sound into from another 
track or mix bus) and a reverb. We plan on adding more fx on later OS 
upgrades.

Yes.

Yes.

1 step (or 1/2 really in double speed) is the smallest step. You can only 
shift notes using Swing. The only difference from the Machinedrum is that 
you have separate swing-tracks per track.

No. There is nothing as "no quantise" in the Monomachine or the 
Machinedrum. They are step basen from bottom up, and that gives both 
advantages (perfect timing in all conditions, superior control over 
separate trigs) and disadvantages (no free recording).
