SWING

The swing percentage amount is for all tracks. You can't have individual track swing amounts.
But whats is possible is to change where in the 16 step it should swing and where not:
You can set the grid steps that have swing applied for each individual track AND a global
swing track.
The global swing amount is applied to every step on every track which you specify.
You could probably use this technique from the MD tips and tricks to offset a track:
Its a little tricky buy you can offset another track slightly with swing.
Completely fill a track with swing triggers and set swing at about 51%. This
track will run slightly behind the other tracks.
Program the main beat on the swung tack and add flams on the unswung
track.

ARP:

The Monomachines arpeggiators offer a number of features all of which can be found in the
user manual. The following are suggestions for its uses:
I use the monomachine's arpeggiators along with transpose a LOT: They're amazing
when you know how to work with them.
For example, I often sequence a nice chord progression in Ableton Live, then put
Ableton's arpeggiators to work and spit arpeggiated data back into the monomachine. I'll
route that data into a track in the mnm, turn the arpeggiator to "add", and quite often
wonderful things happen.
You can tweak the arp settings live by going into arp mode and changing the length of the
arp, the steps on which the arp sounds, the number of octaves the arp covers, and numerous
other functions.
When you have an octave set in the arp, OJMP controls the note on which the octave jump
occurs.

TRANSPOSE

The transpose function is pretty straightforward, its used to transpose either whole patterns or
individual tracks up or down. You can also use it to create chords over more than one track by
copying a machine/sequence onto others track and then transposing the copied parts.
The transpose function can be tweaked to add breaks or fills on a bbox track.

SLIDES

MNM slide function is a little different to that of say a TB303 as it doesn't slide pitch, however
this can be recreated.
