THE LCD USER INTERFACE
The center of the Monomachine editing is the LCD graphical interface display. The inter-
face screen for the SYNTHESIS page is printed below:
1. The current tempo. This will show “EXT” when synced to external tempo.
2. Level bar showing the selected volume level of the machine on the track in focus.
3. Up to eight parameters. They correspond to the layout of the 8 DATA ENTRY knobs.
The little dot in the circle indicates the current parameter value. If an knob isn’t repre-
sented it means it serves no function at that particular screen. Above the graphical rep-
resentation of the knobs are up to four characters, the abbreviation for the parameter the
knob controls.
4. Four rectangular boxes showing the playback position in the pattern page.
5. The playback/recording status shown by the standard “record”, “play”, “pause” and
“stop” symbols; , , and .
6. Name and number of the current kit.
7. The index of the current pattern, ranging from A01 to H16.
8. Specification of the Mono-synth and machine of the track in focus.
LAYER EDIT AND WINDOWS
When a function which puts a window on top of the main interface screen is opened, the
function of certain buttons and/or knobs will change. The buttons that are not used or
blocked can still be used to control the layer underneath. For example, when you have
called the tempo function it will make use of the LEVEL knob, but you can still use the
DATA ENTRY knobs to control the track in focus. When a window has functions mapped to
such interface controls, help is provided at the bottom of the window in the form of icons
representing these controls. The icons are:
The arrow buttons The LEVEL knob
The [FUNCTION] key The [TRIG] keys
The DATA ENTRY knobs
• All windows can be closed using the [EXIT/NO] key.
