I'm very looking forward for that since it will contain a lot of 
nice changes. It can't be long now.......

PS. will the "one hand" mute function be working?

I hope it comes out soon.  He mentioned in here that the next update
would void all existing patterns/songs, due to internal structural
changes.  So I've been kind of avoiding writing anything with the Mono
since then, which sucks.

I sure hope so.  But my advice for using the MM with the MD (for now)
is to place the MD above the MM, with the function button directly
above the MM's track buttons.  That way, at least you can mute/unmute
MD and MM tracks simultaneously.

Yes, I hope it's soon for the new OS, I have also took a break from 
writing on the MM.  Also, how do you guys use your MM and MD together 
and in what situations?  I have done a couple songs with MD 
controlled by the MM and muted and unmuted tracks and then built the 
song up and down that way.  I'm wondering if I should use song mode 
and map out everything.  It would require some work to count 
everything out to make both machines match up, but probably more 
accurate for my recordings. I haven't used the MM or MD in a live 
setting yet...anybody have stories out there from the land of Mono?

I've done this and it works quite well.....

But this works a bit better for me when trying to write something formally.
That is, it's nice to jam with the MD and MM in pattern mode and do
everything manually.  But for more complex (or rapid) changes and for
finalizing a song's structure, I prefer song mode.  It's more focused
since I can abstract away from structure and just deal with sound.  But
yes, it is time consuming to make sure that the two match up correctly.

Mark Bell, aka LFO, recently did a show with a flat panel iMac and a 
Monomachine.  ;-]

Thanks for the input Joe, I think I will start to use song mode.

[When will the new MM o.s. be released?]

It shouldn't be long now...

I would recommend either trigging sequences from one machines, by 
using a MIDI machine on the MD or a MIDI track on the Mono for 
trigging a pattern on the other machine... or...

...or do like this. We are adding some aid in song mode for seeing 
how far down in the song each row is, so you can easily synchronise 
them together.

Then of course there are many ways of using them together if just 
editing the units live, but that's another story.

Could you be more specific?
Last time you said this it was within the same day.
I really want to start using the MM for real now but all my work will 
get lost due to the update.
btw will the kit's get unusable too in the next release or only the 
patterns?
