THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE MONOMACHINE
2 Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE MONOMACHINE
Synthesizers are available in many different types and forms. Nevertheless,
for most part they follow the norm how a synthesizer of its era is expected to
be. Development for musicians tools generally comes in form of new syn-
thesis techniques or increase in polyphony, memory or other quantitative
elements. The advances in the music machine world have brought numer-
ous good inventions for musicians. However, we believe the core of usability
is easily lost in the hunt for the highest specifications.
With the Monomachine we have tried creating a synthesizer free from preju-
dice, and focus on what actually spur creativity and not let the technology
stand in your way. We want to inspire you to make sounds and music you
didn't even think of when you first sat down.
We have put all our efforts into explore, to the fullest extent, the concept we
believe is one of the most creative in the history of synthesizers - the mono-
phonic synthesizer with a tightly integrated sequencer. The Monomachine
offers ground breaking sound synthesis machines, divided into five Mono-
synths, together with dedicated Track Effect engines. The sound synthesis
tracks are controlled through the worlds most advanced pattern based
sequencer, inspired from the concepts of grid programmed drum machines.
KEEP IN MIND
The Monomachine is a very multifaceted synthesizer. Depending on how
you choose to use it certain aspects of it will be most important to you. We
have combined what we have enjoyed most of the traditions of synthesizers
with many new creative approaches.
Try to find your own way of working, whether it being using the song
sequencer to build complete songs, building patterns for real-time manipula-
tion using the Multi Trig function, or using your favourite sound in poly mode.
This users manual will guide you through all the functions, and give some
hints on applications, but you will probably appreciate the full capabilities
after some time of use.
