mono & machinedrum together?

mono & machinedrum together?

2005-03-26 by northeasternfantasy

Hi all! Just joined today after winning a monomachine on ebay. Seems
like a cool unit. I 
have a question to all you elekron fanatics....are the machinedrum
and monomachine 
made to work with each other? Do they work together? I noticed the
mono is a beat box? 
Not a drum machine? I thought they had improved the drummachine into
the mono but 
guess it's a different machine entirely. Anyone have any input on
this? I just got a dr 880 drummachine as well, and was thinking of blending the two 
together? Real and not real. ? They should lock up somehow,? Will one run th other? Seems 
like it will lay down a good foundation. Thanks and happy 
music making!

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

The mono is a 6 track synth with diffrent synth engines and one
beatbox. The beatbox is just a simple drum machine and can only do a
little of what the machinedrum can do. For the sounds of the mono you
can listen to the  demo's on www.monomachine.com

how would you rate the MD at emulating the 909 and 808? I think it has a
dedicated TR machine right?
