A-12 Appendix A: MACHINE REFERENCE
FX
The FX machine group differs from the other
machines of the Monomachine in that they
do not generate any sound by themselves.
They need to be supplied an audio signal
from another source, either internal Mon-
omachine audio, or external audio fed into
the Audio inputs. Please refer to section ,
“USING THE AUDIO INPUTS,” on page 82
for instruction on how to configure the audio
input of the FX machines.
Don’t forget that also the FX machines need
to be trigged to make any sound, and that
their output is fed through the Track Effects,
of which the Amplification Envelope is part. If
you want to let the sound pass through with-
out decaying you should set Attack=0,
Decay=127 and Release=127 and retrig the
machine.
THRU
The Thru machine does not process the
audio other than through a signal amplifier, to
let you adjust the audio level. It is a good
starting point for processing external audio
and let it pass through the Track Effects.
INP - Input Signal Amplification
Adjust the Input Signal Amplification (INP)
to suit the signal input. Remember you can
use the Amplitude Envelope and the rest of
the Track Effects, together with the
sequencer if you prefer.
The Input Signal Amplificator is available for
all FX machines, but only described here.
REVERB
The Reverb Machine is a specially designed
version of the Elektron Gate Space reverb. It
offers characteristic gated reverb known from
the Machinedrum.
DEC - Decay
DAMP - Damping
GATE - Gate Sensitivity
MIX - Dry / Wet Signal Mix
HP - High Pass Filter
LP - Low Pass Filter
INP - Input Signal Amplification
The Decay (DEC) parameter controls the
Reverb Decay time, i.e. how long time the
reverberated will stay around before dying
out.
The Damping (DAMP) parameter can intro-
duce reverb damping, which is the effect of
“soft walls”. The higher Damping set the
faster the sound will die out. Damping differs
from Decay in the way that certain frequen-
cies disappearing quicker.
The Gate Sensitivity (GATE) controls the
amount of time from “low reverb signal level”
the Gate will mute all further sound until the
input to the reverb once again reach “high
signal level”. Setting Gate to 127 keeps the
gate always open.
Signal Mix (MIX) adjusts the output between
the original “dry” signal and the reverberated
“wet” signal.
The HP and LP parameters control the out-
put High Pass and Low Pass filters.
