Quick Question ...

Does the monomachine include any percussion banks, or is it simply an 
impressive synth?

the DPRO BeatBox machine in the MnM is a drum machine. it has 12
drum/percussion sounds. it's basically a stripped-down version of the
Machinedrum's E12 machines. check out the demos online.

As with pretty much any synthesizing instrument, you can make a variety
of percussive noises with any of the synthesizers. You can use extreme
pitch envelopes on a saw superwave, or short decay times and the noise
wave on the 6581 sid, for instance, and percussion.

However, I'm guessing  you are referring to a collection of percussion
samples. The DWAVE synthesizer has a "beatbox" machine which has a
couple octaves of percussive sample noises, and it's pretty fun to turn
the retrig way up and pitchbend the drums all over the place.

I've been able to get some really, *really* nice heavy percussive  
noises from (naturally) the FM synths, aside from the 'beatbox' pcm  
samples.
