Elektron Monomachine cheap tricks: The arpeggiator

I never really understood the Monomachine arp and couldn´t find a proper tut on the internet, so I searched elektronauts.com and and checked the manual. Here are some of my findings. Please feel free to comment on your approach and improve my mistakes or just get inspired to use this beautiful instrument again...

This tutorial practically made my channel possible haha, thank you so much for teaching us mono users how to use this thing better!

[@nthirteen]

Very nice channel. Congrats.

Thanks for this vid. It really cleared up issues I had with the arp settings.

Perfect tutorial

[@nthirteen]

Far from perfect.. But a start. Thanks.

@@nthirteen helped me plenty :^) I just got my monomachine yesterday

[@adriannunez8868]

Synth wise do the earlier/newer Elektron gear have any differences tone wise? I’m looking into the Analog Keys, Digitone, and Mono specifically. I’m new to music producing and I’m interested in Elektron gear. Especially the FM synthesis. There’s really not that many comparisons between the models and would like to get some opinions around. Thanks

[@nthirteen]

My advice. Start with a digitone. Then get the others.

[@fiodordreamdog5199]

Thanx for your quick answer! I mean that when I built an arp pattern on a track, and if I click STOP to stop the sequence, it stops but when I want it back, the arp pattern has disappeared. I have then to rebuild it...

[@nthirteen]

Do you program in a chord in step mode to the sequencer like I did at 06:30 ?

[@FRANKYGOGO]

Yeah that's it, i (play?) a chord, like 3 ou 4 notes together, then the arp beggins to play and does it till i stop the sequence but when I recall it, it's gone.

[@rucabuena]

GRACIAS

[@nthirteen]

De nada.

[@FRANKYGOGO]

Hey! Nice video, thanx. I have a question: I don't understand how to save in one track the arpeggiated pattern I've just created. When I stop the track, the pattern is erased! Can you explain that? Thanx!!

[@nthirteen]

I don't understand what you mean... Are the trigs gone in the sequencer or does your arp turns always back to default when you stop the track? What do you do step by step?

[@akaleri]

In case you haven't learned it by now, you need to add all of the notes contained in the arpeggiation of the step you want it to start from. You do that by holding a trigger on a certain tone, then pressing down to access the second note, again pressing down to add the third note, and so on. Hope this helps.

additional tip: modulate the drum notes with a random LFO

[@nthirteen]

@nachtaktiv music How do I do that?

[@dylangauthier418]

@@nthirteen I think he means modulate the retrig with LFOs

[@sensemusicofficial]

It's SLIDE not sid :)

[@nthirteen]

I think the arp mode I meant is called sid because it’s taken from the legacy elektron sidstation. Slide is something different. Cheers. Andre.
