MM Tutorial- using the sequencer to sequence external synths, drum machine

Can someone please give me a step by step tutorial of how to do this? I'm very bad at 
learning new things if I don't actually see it, but I figured maybe you guys would have a clear 
way of accomplishing this. 

As a side note, I can't say enough about how much I love my monomachine. I've probably had 
it for 6 months or so and it is the most fun gear I have ever owned. Great sounds and getting 
creative thoughts out has never been easier.

Specifically, what equipment would you like to sequence?

1. Plug an external synth's midi in to the mono's midi out
2. Function + Trig Select (switches from internal machines to midi  
machines for the six tracks.  Important to note that your internal  
machines do not stop functioning, they run alongside, though they do  
share LFOs)
3. Press keys on your mono and you'll hear sound come out of your synth.

If this doesn't work, in the global setup for the monomachine there's  
a midi seq section which defines midi channels for each of the midi  
tracks (tracks 1 - 6 are midi tracks when you go into midi machine  
mode).  Make sure the midi channel for the track you want to use to  
sequence the external synth is set to the appropriate midi channel  
that your external synth is listening to.

Thanks so much for your reply! I'm not at home now, but hopefully 
I'll be able to try it on my day off. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again!

I have the MachineDrum and the Monomachine and now
have my sights set on a Sidstation.  Can someone
explain how the waveform-tables work?  I have seen it
described as a sequencer.  Is this accurate?  If not,
how does it differ from the sequencer in something
like...the monomachine?

Thanks.

the wavetable is definitely not a sequencer in the normal
monomachine, x0x-box style.  it works like this...you get several
rows in a table.  in each row, you get to choose which waveform to
play and which note offset to play it at (I believe you can also
toggle ring mod, but I could be mistaken;  it's been a while since
I've used it).  then you continue doing the same for each row,
adding up to (I believe) 64 of them.  this micro-sequence is then
played at a specified speed every time you press a note.

so it will play a sequence in a way, but it's not really something
you'd use to write a pattern.  the term "micro-sequencer" is
probably the best description.  you can do some cool little drum
like beats with it though!  :-)

I've used it to come up with some sick patterns =)
