tracks named Trig Tracks, offering individual control over Amplitude Enve-
lope, Filter Envelope and LFO trigs.
Traditionally synthesizers retrig all envelopes when a NOTE_ON event (a
key pressed on the keyboard) is played. In the Monomachine the
NOTE_ON events can be split up, allowing you to trig the Amplitude enve-
lope (AMP Trig), Filter Envelope (FILTER Trig) and LFO (LFO Trig) at any
step of the sequencer you prefer. Please refer to the first two illustrations in
figure “Trig Track illustrations” on page 50. The second illustration is the
Monomachine equivalence of the traditional pattern in the first one.
The [TRIG SELECT] key cycles between which Trig Track is programmed
from the [TRIG] keys, and the <TRIG TRACK> LED’s indicate the current
selection. All three <TRICK TRACK> LED’s lit means the ALL mode, where
trigs for all three Trig Tracks are set. The four states are listed below:
• ALL - This is the default state where all <TRIG TRACK> LED’s are lit.
[TRIG] keys pressed add or remove trigs on all three Trig tracks, and
a pitch is added as default.
• AMP - [TRIG] keys pressed only add or remove trigs on the AMP Trig
track. No pitch is added as default.
• FILTER - [TRIG] keys pressed only add or remove trigs on the FIL-
TER Trig track. No pitch is added as default.
• LFO - [TRIG] keys pressed only add or remove trigs on the LFO Trig
track. No pitch is added as default.
When Trig Track AMP, FILTER or LFO is selected, the <TRIG> LED’s are lit
red if a trig is set for the corresponding step on the Trig Track selected. The
<TRIG> LED’s are green if the trig is not set for the Trig Track selected, but
on some other Trig Track (or if it has a Trigless Trig, see section “TRIGLESS
TRIGS” on page 49).
When Trig Track ALL is selected, the <TRIG> LED’s are lit red if a trig is set
on all AMP, FILTER and LFO Trig Tracks. If one or more of them are missing
then it is lit green. Steps with NOTE_OFF events are lit yellow.
TRIGLESS TRIGS
It is possible to change pitch or make parameter locks, even without trigging
any envelopes. But since pitch and parameter locks are set with a [TRIG]
key pressed, and trigs are added when the [TRIG] key is pressed you need
to insert a Trigless Trig first.
The quickest way to do this is to press the [TRIG] key twice while holding
[FUNCTION]. The corresponding <TRIG> LED will then first turn yellow
(NOTE_OFF) and then green which indicates it is a Trigless Trig. You can
