Elektron Musical Instruments

Here's another pattern jam, can't stay away from this machine :) not much
joystick action here, more muting and un-muting + a virus and EMX are
involved.

Heh, nice work again!  Sort of a hardsteppy-trancey kinda tune.  Maybe 
you could deepen the mix with some reverb and synched delays?  Some 
panning of the individual instruments wouldn't hurt, either.  Give us 
some more MnM-only stuff, man!  We need to explore the limits of the 
Mighty Mighty Monomachine.

I'll kick down some stuff eventually.  I've got a whole slew of 
patterns written, but I'm still learning the song sequencer.  So I 
won't be an armchair critic for the rest of eternity ;)

This time the cats were grooving in their rocket ship with bobble head 
environmental suits on, on their way to their secret base on Pluto.

Aight, how bought a drum n bass tune all on the mono? I haven't heard anyone
go near this genre with the mono so far, and I've been waiting since the
betas to take a crack at it :)

I've got one started, a single pattern.  Perhaps we could work on it 
together?   Since I've written so much DnB with software, I was staying 
away from it on the MnM, but it does sound quite wicked.

hi,

i'd like to discern whether or not my monomachine's lockups are a product of the
operating system.  the elektron website only has os 1.05 - would any of you kind souls
be willing to share os 1.04 or 1.03?  i'd really appreciate it.

thanks!

Awesome.

Here's a couple of mono only patterns I put together tonight just playing
around.

Is this sequenced in Song mode?  If so, can you send me the song?  I'd 
like to take a look at how you put it together.

Na I haven't even touched song mode yet. It's just live mutes n stuff. Want
to play with it soon though, the global mute status for tracks switching
between patterns takes some getting used to, but it's nice to see it looks
like you can program mutes in song mode.

Wow, rad.  You are definately more advanced that I when it comes to 
arranging.  I need to break myself of the habit of spending hours and 
hours in the sound design phase.

Yea it's easy to get stuck in that. I like to work fast cuz I tend to get
board of things easy. I like the mono cuz it's quick and you can just lay
things down and try different things, and then go back and tweak sounds.

Maybe I'm secretly wanting to write long, evolving drones, and just 
haven't 'come out' yet.  I'll try the "make a bunch a patterns a string 
them together quickly" method, and see how it goes.

Sick ass track... I just got my Mono, and can't wait to cut some
tracks. However, I am in the middle of a move. So, I can't play with
it much. The few hrs that I have spent on it, were super fun, and I
find that I can build a grove fast! I have started a break beat track,
and can't wait to free up two channels, which I have used for
percusion, as soon as my MD is hooked up.

Do any of you all use it as your main sequencer? I love the UI!

I got it a couple weeks ago. Yes that track is all MnM. Here are a few more,
these were all just one night each getting to know the mono jams. Mono in
pattern mode, live mutes, joystick etc....

http://www.nmisystem.com/music/battleseq.mp3
http://www.nmisystem.com/music/battlestar.mp3

http://www.nmisystem.com/music/torn.mp3 - (this one has a bit of virus and
emx)

This is a new one that I haven't posted to the list before

http://www.nmisystem.com/music/thecollective.mp3

Normally I use logic but I'm having too much fun with just the mono :)

Sick! Sounds good!! Did you do all the drums on the MnM? I know what
you mean the MnM is so simple to program. I can't wait to have all my
gear hooked up. I just moved... and all my gear is stored at a friends
place. %_%


So where are you located? Do you play out?

Thanks. Yea, cept for the one track that has a couple drum sounds from the

No, I have a sidstation though.

^_^ I got just about 99.9% of my shit moved into my new place. I am so
happy! I am moving into a large space where a bunch of producers, dj's
and artist live... It is a huge space. On New Years they had 6 big
rooms open. You got to check it out the Ney Years count down.

Maybe we can work on some stuff together, and do a live set at my
place... LOL

Yup I am going to be livin it up! I can't wait to live with other
producers, and dj's. I have heard some of the stuff that the others
have come up with, and it tap!

I'm also going to enjoy being able to setup my shit in the main room
and pump it! LOL the sound system is TAP!

Do you... have you produces nu skool breaks, or electro at all?

I have in the past a bit, but I am in the process of trying to focus on just
that.

Awesome! Dude move to SF... lets team up. J/K.. I am glad to hear that
you are into Breaks as well. The Monomachine fits the job so perfect. 

I'll soon me moved in, and have a internet connection at home. It
would be awesome to work on a track with you. How could we go about
working on a track together? Who knows one day we might have both of
our MnM's hooked up doing a live show.
