  • Page 10: The Philosophy Of The Monomachine

    THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE MONOMACHINE 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 musi- cal tools generally comes in the form of new synthesis techniques or an increase in polyph- ony, memory or other quantitative elements.

  • Page 22: Monomachine Overview

    MONOMACHINE OVERVIEW The sound generating structure of the Monomachine differs in many ways from what is common for contemporary sound synthesizers and sequencers. The SFX-6/SFX-60MKII offers six tracks of audio synthesis/FX, effects and sequencing. All six tracks can be equipped with a sound generating or sound effecting machine of your choice, Track Effect engine including amplifier envelope, LP/BP/HP filter, synchronised tape-style delay, three LFO’s and the most refined step sequencer.

  • Page 24: Monomachine Synthesis Arrangement

    MONOMACHINE SYNTHESIS ARRANGEMENT MONOMACHINE SYNTHESIS ARRANGEMENT The basic sound generating unit in the Monomachine is called a machine. Each machine is designed for generating sounds from a specific technique or method, such as analogue style pulse, SID MOS 6581 or dynamic FM. The sound generating machines allow you to get many different starting points with varied sound characteristics.

  • Page 25: Monomachine Kits

    MONOMACHINE SYNTHESIS ARRANGEMENT MONOMACHINE KITS The Monomachine does not arrange sounds in what is commonly referred to as “patches”. The Monomachine equivalence of a “patch” depends on which way you are using it. • If you use the six tracks as individual synthesizers, or in POLY mode, then you could see a kit as carrying six “patches”.

  • Page 32: Parameter Editing

    MONOMACHINE SYNTHESIS ARRANGEMENT PARAMETER EDITING Each Monomachine track offers up to 56 parameters for the sound generation and effects. They are divided into seven pages with at most eight parameters in each. The sound generating machines form their sound from one page of up to eight parameters, called the SYNTHESIS parameters.

  • Page 33: Track Effects

    TRACK EFFECTS TRACK EFFECTS The track effects are independent effects systems, available to the six tracks as extensions to the machine synthesis. This chapter is a reference to all the functions you will find on the AMPLIFICATION, EFFECT and FILTER pages. The stereo track effects are applied to the sound signal as described in the figure below: LEVEL This parameter is available from all DATA pages.

  • Page 34: Distortion

    TRACK EFFECTS AMP-trig can be controlled individually from the sequencer, see section “TRIG TRACKS”, on page 57 for more information. ATK (attack). This parameter controls how long time the envelope takes to reach full level. HOLD (hold) specifies the amount of time the signal is held at full level. DEC (decay) dictates the amount of time it takes for the audio signal to completely fade out after the HOLD phase has been passed.

  • Page 35: Track Volume

    TRACK EFFECTS audio level decline, and if the audio level would decrease when Q is raised, it would feel like a loss of bass and a weaker sound. Always leaving full headroom would result in decreased signal quality, with increased noise. Therefore we allow you to adjust the distortion to allow for the headroom your sound needs.

  • Page 36: Pan

    TRACK EFFECTS Here the panning for the stereo output is controlled. It operates in stereo when needed (balance), for example when effecting FX Machines. The default value is center. PAN (pan) positions the sound in the stereo field. A value of -64 will pan the sound hard left, a value of + 63 will pan the sound hard right.

  • Page 37: Basic Filter Controls

    TRACK EFFECTS BASIC FILTER CONTROLS The track effect system offers a resonant 24dB low/high/band-pass filter. The parameters are untraditional, giving the user control of both the low and high filter cut-offs, as well as a variable gap band-pass filter. BASE (filter base) controls the base filter cut-off frequency. When WDTH is set to its max- imal value, the BASE parameter functions as the cut off parameter of a high-pass filter.

  • Page 38: Filter Envelope

    TRACK EFFECTS FILTER ENVELOPE The filter envelope is trigged every time a FILTER-trig is received. This normally happens when a key on the keyboard or one of the [TRIG] keys has been pressed, or played from the sequencer or received over MIDI. The FILTER-trig can be controlled individually from the sequencer, see section “TRIG TRACKS”, on page 57 for more information.

  • Page 39: Effects Page

    TRACK EFFECTS EFFECTS PAGE In the EFFECTS page you find the controls for the 1-band EQ, sample rate reduction, and the tempo-synchronised tape-style delay. Using the 1-band parametric EQ, you can boost or reduce a certain frequency band. EQF (EQ frequency) sets the frequency that will be affected by the EQG parameter. EQG (EQ gain) parameter controls how much the EQ will boost (gain) or reduce the signal around the EQF frequency.

  • Page 40: Delay

    TRACK EFFECTS DELAY The delay of the Monomachine is a single tap delay with real-time adjustable delay time. Some of its functionality can resemble tape loops and solid state CCD delays. The delay time is always synchronised to the global tempo setting. DSND (delay send) controls the level of sound that will be sent to the delay loop.
  • Page 41 TRACK EFFECTS FIGURE 5. The function of the delay DELAY SEND LEVEL: DSND=DELAY SEND DELAY FEEDBACK: DELAY FILTER: DBAS=FILTER BASE DFB=DELAY FEEDBACK DWID=FILTER WIDTH • For using the delay for delay-line style sound sculpturing, try setting DTIM very low together with a DFB value above 32. Then play around with the delay filter set- tings.

  • Page 42: Low Frequency Oscillators

    LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS Each of the 6 tracks in the Monomachine offers 3 interlaced low frequency oscillators (LFO’s), which can be used to modulate any track parameter. A typical application of an LFO is to let it sweep a filter cut-off frequency. The 18 interlaced LFO’s offer 11 waveforms and 5 trig modes.
  • Page 43 LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS SPD (speed) is a linear controller that sets a base speed that is multiplied with the MULT parameter, always in relation to the master tempo. The use of both a speed controller and a multiplier allows a very wide range of speeds, but still provides a high degree of control. To get the finest resolution keep the MULT parameter set as low as possible.
  • Page 44 LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATORS • If you select the same destination for two different LFO tracks their outputs will be added, making advanced layered LFO’s possible. You can create complex modulations by letting an LFO control a parameter of • another one. In the Monomachine you can sequence LFO-trig separately from other trigs.

  • Page 45: Additional Kit Settings

    ADDITIONAL KIT SETTINGS ADDITIONAL KIT SETTINGS This chapter deals with all kit settings not covered in the previous chapters. ASSIGN This menu allows the joystick, note velocity and note position tracking to be assigned to up to two parameters of choice. This can allow for a lot of dynamic depth of the sound with lit- tle effort.

  • Page 46: Joystick

    The “JOY U/D” tab has the same function as the “JOY R/L” just described, but controls the assign for the up and down directions of the joystick. Information for the SFX-60MKII, and for controlling the SFX-6 externally: • The Joystick is mapped to Pitch bend for left and right directions, Modulation Wheel (CTRL CHANGE 1) for upward direction and Breath controller (CTRL CHANGE 2) for downward direction.

  • Page 47: Key Tracking

    ADDITIONAL KIT SETTINGS KEY TRACKING The Key Tracking is connected to the note index from the last key pressed. For example, if C-1 was pressed, the key tracking value will be low, and if C-8 was pressed it would reach almost its maximum value.

  • Page 48: Multi Trig

    The Multi Trig is a link between the synthesis and the sequencer of the Monomachine. Using the keyboard MULTI TRIG mode on the SFX-6, or the Multi Trig MIDI channel (see "MULTI TRIG" on page 88 for more information) you can make advanced monophonic arrangements.
  • Page 49 ADDITIONAL KIT SETTINGS ALL TRK (all track) makes the multi trig channel control all six tracks at once. Note events received on the multi trig channel will be distributed to all six tracks for parallel mono operation. The joystick controllers, velocity and key tracking will control all tracks simultaneously, as assigned in the Assign window (see page 37).

  • Page 50: Multi Env

    ADDITIONAL KIT SETTINGS SEQ TRNSP (sequencer transpose) makes a sequence start and transposes the sequence for the first note received on the multi trig channel. Subsequent notes will only transpose the sequence and trig the multi envelope, so that the sequence loop is never broken.
  • Page 51 ADDITIONAL KIT SETTINGS PORT (portamento) sets the amount time it will take the for pitch of the sequence to slide between two different notes. • Sound played on the individual tracks while the multi trig is active will be under the influence of the multi envelope, so the sound level might be lower than usual.

  • Page 52: The Pattern Sequencer

    Check that the <MULTI TRIG> LED is unlit so that you are not in MULTI TRIG mode. If necessary, toggle it by pressing the [MULTI TRIG] key. (SFX-6 only) For external control we recommend using the MIDI auto track channel (see "AUTO TRACK CH"...

  • Page 53: Pattern Chaining

    THE PATTERN SEQUENCER PATTERN CHAINING You can use pattern chaining to cue up patterns to be played after one another in a loop, like a simple live sequencer for patterns. In pattern mode, hold a [BANK] button and then press the [TRIG] key for the pattern you want to be first in the chain. As long as you keep the first [TRIG] key down, subsequent [TRIG] keys pressed will add patterns to the end of the chain.

  • Page 54: Composing A Pattern

    Follow the steps below before continuing with any pattern composing. Close all windows that might be open using the [EXIT/NO] key. For SFX-6: Check that the <MULTI TRIG> LED is unlit. Press the [MULTI TRIG] key to switch it off if needed.

    The Monomachine can be set to either internal or external synchronisation. When in inter- nal clock mode the SFX-6/SFX-60MKII can output a high quality MIDI clock through the MIDI OUT port. This can be used for keeping external gear in sync with the Monomachine.

  • Page 64: Parameter Locks

    THE PATTERN SEQUENCER • The tempo is not stored in patterns or kits. However, songs can store tempo changes. PARAMETER LOCKS One major advantage of the Monomachine is the straightforward method to lock parameter settings to specific trigs steps. These snapshots are called parameter locks.

  • Page 66: Trigless Trigs

    THE PATTERN SEQUENCER Traditionally synthesizers retrig all envelopes when a NOTE ON event (a key pressed on the keyboard) occurs. In the Monomachine NOTE ON events can be split up, allowing you to trig the amplitude envelope (AMP trig),filter envelope (FILTER trig) or the LFO’s (LFO trig) at any step of the sequence.

  • Page 68: Additional Sequencer Features

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES THE ARPEGGIATOR Each track of the Monomachine (including the MIDI sequencer tracks) offers an advanced arpeggiator. The arpeggiator is a note processor that generates rhythmic note patterns from the arpeggiator settings and notes played. Most commonly arpeggiators are used for making automated real-time monophonic cycled notes based on the chord played.

  • Page 69: Arpeggiator Envelope Trigging Switches

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES added to the cycle by pressing and releasing keys while still at least one key is pressed. This way you can build up large note-cycles quickly in auto-play sequencer style. The arpeggiator stops when all keys are released. PLAY (play direction) selects between five modes of arpeggiator playback.

  • Page 70: Arpeggiator Rhythm And Offset Track

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES • It can be useful to turn all envelope trigging off for fast arpeggiato speeds, and allow the envelopes to give the impression of the arpeggiated chord as one sound. • If you are using a trigged LFO for a slow modulation of a parameter it can be use- ful to turn off LFO Envelope Trigging in the arpeggiator to let the LFO modulate without being restarted for each note.

  • Page 71: Swing

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES Select the track you want to edit the transpose settings for using the [TRACK] keys. TRACK (track transpose) sets the individual track transpose in semitones for the selected track. The parameter is controlled with DATA ENTRY knob A. PAT (pattern transpose) controls the transpose setting for the full pattern.

  • Page 72: The Swing Track

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES maximal value is 80%. The swing amount parameter is the same for all the tracks of the pattern. Each track however has its own swing track. Green <TRIG> LED’s indicate the steps that will be time-shifted by swing, and the [TRIG] keys are used to switch their state.

  • Page 73: Slide

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES SLIDE The default behavior for parameter locks is that the value changes exactly when the step is played. By using the slide function, the parameter value changes made by parameter locks can be slid smoothly between the locked values. The slide tracks are saved as part of the pattern.

OUTPUT THE MUTE MODE Track muting is normally performed by pressing the [TRACK] keys while holding [FUNC- TION]. The Monomachine offers an additional interface for controlling the track muting. When one hand operation is preferred, or when you want simultaneous access to both the internal and the MIDI sequencer mute tracks at once, the MUTE window is the solution.

  • Page 75: Minimising The Mute Window

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES In addition to the <TRIG> LED’s, the Mute-state is indicated in the MUTE window. Boxes means that the track is un-muted, and a dash means it is muted. The <TRACK> LED’s will also be updated. If you press the [TRIG] keys while holding [FUNCTION] the mute change is held until [FUNCTION] is released.

  • Page 76: Poly Mode

    ADDITIONAL SEQUENCER FEATURES POLY MODE In normal operation the Monomachine offers six tracks of multitimbral monophonic sound synthesis. Ensemble machines (see Appendix A for more information) can be used to make up to four notes chords using only one track, but for using the other machines poly- phonically you need to enter the POLY mode.

  • Page 77: The Midi Sequencer

    THE MIDI SEQUENCER THE MIDI SEQUENCER Each of the six internal sequencer tracks of the Monomachine sequencer is teamed with a MIDI sequencer track for controlling external MIDI gear. The six MIDI sequencer tracks are part of each pattern and operate individually, although with a few connections with the inter- nal tracks since the LFO’s are shared between the internal tracks and the MIDI sequencer tracks.

  • Page 78: The Main Midi Sequencer Interface

The audio inputs are available to the FX machines found in the Monosynth named “FX”. Follow the steps below to assign Press the [KIT/SONG SETUP] key to open the KIT window.

    MONOMACHINE ROUTING • All track effects, the LFO’s and the sequencer are still at your hands when using the audio inputs! Set up six tracks with various track effect settings, LFO settings and use the sequencer on top of this, and you have a unique and powerful effects processor.

    MONOMACHINE ROUTING machine in NEIBOR mode to the track after, and all the track effects of the second track will be applied after the first one. Just remember to turn off the outputs of the first track. • NEIBOR mode is good for quick FX routing, when no more than one track need to be fed into the FX.

  • Page 92: Routing Mode Ab=Mix

    MONOMACHINE ROUTING In the example above the two first tracks are sent on the AB bus, and are thus effected by the FX machine on track 3. Track 4 and 5 are sent to the CD mix bus. Track 6 is an FX machine with input taken from the CD Mix bus, which now contains the mixed signal of track 4 and 5.
  • Page 93 MONOMACHINE ROUTING The example above visualises how a global routing configuration of 6xMONO configures the outputs. Like all machines, the FX machines need to be trigged before they make any • sound. The track effects are active as always, so if you want the sound to go through without decaying you need to set the DEC and REL parameters to their maximum values (127).
