yes modey, i guess i need to wait and test it myself. maybe it'll be ok... i can always add a midi thru box if needed, i'm just thinking ahead...as alwayz ;)

 

p.s. so, no cooperation? watmm yo-no-fun   

 

ok, my second proposal is an old one: let's make a monomachine compilation! 

(godamnit, this one should pass!)

impossibru! 4

It sounds like you guys are just as insecure as me so I'm in too.

this is getting out of control ;)

and i'm in. been playing with it this week

well I have decided that my next liveset will be monomachine+machinedrum + maybe nanoloop mono (when it arrives).. so I might as well put something together.

Monomachine only, or MD allowed as well?

Id prefer mnm only.

I'm either way but I guess the point is for us to exploit the MnM and can do everything.

MnM only it is.

heh cool, I'm into it

I think it will both level the playing field and challenge everyone more.

perhaps someone should contact this madman about participating: https://www.youtube.com/user/SunamachiSoundSystem/videos

at the very least it could serve as a bit of inspiration for anyone involved. certainly among the most interesting solo mnm action i've stumbled across.

yeah that Lem video was what made me decide to buy the monomachine, for sure

Same!

It was definitely a factor for me, along with Quaristice and Buromaschinen's stuff.

Interestingly I still don't get along with most of Quaristice.. Untilted is awesome though. 

I wonder if they perhaps used song mode more on Untilted, and Quaristice is just edited jams..?

I'm going to experiment with song mode a bit more, especially since I have a live set to prepare for; would be nice to just forget about the pattern changes and work on sound design tweaks and spontaneous mutes. Can pattern data (plocks/trigs) be edited while the song is playing?

Yeah, it's weird, I feel kind of the same about Untilted though occasionally I'll put it on, mostly because the generally upbeat tempos make it good music for working. I love Quaristice, though, it's probably still my favorite AE even after the top notch releases of the last few years.

Supposedly the only track they ever used song mode on was LCC. But I think you're right that Quaristice is a lot more cut up. 

Song mode is pretty cool. I like how you can set up funky sub-pattern loops and automate tempo, transposition, muting, etc. You can absolutely edit pattern data while in song mode, in fact I find this useful sometimes combined with the aforementioned sub-loops so that I can zero in on a bar of a pattern while editing.

 iirc they said that with sublimit everything was staged, so they just pressed play and recorded it. 

i was always wondering whether they used elektrons as external moduls for max or digital performer or it was all internally sequenced. i need opinions on this pls

Sounds like it was all onboard sequencing imo. They'd be nuts to not take advantage of plocks!

On a similar ae production question note, does anyone know what's going on at the end of The Trees? It all kinda gets scooped out into some weird FM radio sounding thing.. I remember my monomachine made some similar noises one time when (I think) the DSP crashed; I wonder if that's what happened while they were recording the track and they decided to keep it that way?

doesn't sound like a faulty machine to me. more like a postproduction trick with an eq (scooped mids) and a waveshaper.

This still happening? I have an all MnM track to submit.
