FX MACHINES
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 with an audio sig-
nal 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 a part. If
you want to let the sound pass through with-
out decaying you should set ATK = 0, DEC =
127 and REL = 127 and retrig the machine.
THRU
The through 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) can be
adjusted to determine the signal input.
Remember you can use the amplitude enve-
lope and the rest of the track effects,
together with the sequencer if you prefer.
REVERB
The reverb machine is a specially designed
version of the Elektron Gate reverb. It offers
a characteristic gated reverb known from the
Machinedrum.
DEC (decay) controls the decay time, i.e.
how long time the reverberated signal will
stay around before dying out.
DAMP (damping) sets the reverb damping,
which is the effect of “soft walls”. The higher
the parameter is set the faster the sound will
die out. Damping differs from the DEC
parameter in the way that certain frequencies
disappear quicker.
GATE (gate sensitivity) sets the gate time.
The reverbated signal is gated after this time,
if the signal level is low. The maximal value
for this parameter gives infinite time - in other
words, the gate is turned off.
MIX (signal mix) adjusts the output between
the original “dry” signal and the reverberated
“wet” signal.
HP (high pass filter) controls the high pass
filtering of the reverb signal.
LP (low pass filter) controls the low pass fil-
tering of the reverb signal.
INP (input signal amplification) adjusts the
signal input.
