MONOMACHINE OVERVIEW
Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL 15
MONOMACHINE OVERVIEW
The sound generating structure of the Monomachine differs in many ways
from what is common for contemporary sound synthesizers and sequenc-
ers. The SFX-6/60 offers six tracks of audio synthesis/FX, effects and
sequencing. All six tracks are fully equipped with a sound generating or
sound effecting machine of choice, Track Effect engine including amplifier
envelope, LP/BP/HP filter, synchronised tape-style delay, three LFO’s and
the most refined step sequencer. Please refer to figure “Monomachine
sound synthesis overview” on page 16 for an overview of the general struc-
ture of the Monomachine.
CHOOSE YOUR WAY OF WORKING
The Monomachine offers you many ways of working. The six tracks of syn-
thesis can be approached in several ways. Some suggestions how you
could organise your work is described below. All the techniques presented
will be discussed in detail later in this manual.
SIX INDIVIDUAL TRACKS
Each of the six tracks can be programmed with individual sound generating
machines and sound and effects settings. All tracks can be controlled by
their dedicated MIDI channel if preferred. Using the Monomachine this way
offers you access to six independent tracks of monophonic synthesis.
SIX TRACK SEQUENCING
The six tracks can be controlled by the Monomachine sequencer. In addition
to the traditional pitch and note on/off commands, it allows direct control
over all sound generating parameters and envelope trigs.
MIDI SEQUENCING
Six additional tracks of polyphonic MIDI sequencing for controlling external
gear are lined up beside the sequencer for the internal sound generating
tracks.
POLY MODE
By entering Poly mode the Monomachine dedicates all six sound generat-
ing tracks to offer one track of six-voice polyphonic sound.
MULTI TRIG MODE
In Multi Trig mode, all six sound generating tracks are controlled from one
single control track. The sequencer can be a part of the control, and your
sequencers can be transposed in real-time. This way you can construct the
most dynamic and complex monophonic super-sounds imaginable. The pre-
sets of the Monomachine are designed to be used in this mode.
MULTI MAP MODE
Using the Multi Map mode you can lay out your sequences over a keyboard,
for live or studio use.
