Spark Your Creativity with This Amazing Synth and Sequencer!

The Elektron Monomachine SFX60 MKII tabletop synthesizer/sequencer packs a MIDI synth module, a rhythm pattern sequencer, and a loop-maker into a compact, easy-to-navigate hardware unit. Whether you're conjuring new sounds and beats, sequencing patterns on the fly, applying effects to incoming sounds, or using the formant synthesis functionality onboard the Monomachine SFX 60 MKII to perform cool voice sounds, you've got what you need right inside this box! Whether you're sound-shaping, recording, or performing, the Monomachine SFX60 MKII provides the tools to spark your creativity!

Elektron Monomachine SFX60 MKII Tabletop Synthesizer/Sequencer at a Glance:
  • Powerful sequencer puts you in control
  • A very capable MIDI sequencer
  • Sculpt your sound with Monomachine's effects
  • Well-integrated sequencer and synth engine

Powerful sequencer puts you in control
The pattern sequencer offers total control over both the six internal tracks and the six MIDI tracks. The Monomachine SFX60 MKII's 128 patterns and 128 kits guarantee plenty of storage room for musical ideas. Slide, accent, and swing functions are also available, perfect for fine-tuning a pattern. Use the powerful song sequencer to arrange patterns into longer pieces of music. For every step in a song, pattern offset, length, BPM and mute can be set. Creative use of the song sequencer can turn a single pattern into a whole composition.

Parameter-lock capability adds even more functionality to the Monomachine. A parameter lock lets a note trigger have its own parameter settings. In a melodic sequence, every note can have unique synthesis, filter, and effect settings. It is even possible to use different waveforms per note. In fact, basically every parameter found in the Monomachine is possible to parameter lock. Take advantage of this great feature in order to really unlock the potential of the Monomachine.

A very capable MIDI sequencer
Six tracks are exclusively dedicated to MIDI sequencing tasks. The MIDI tracks function much the same as the internal tracks. They all have an arpeggiator per track and the swing and slide functions work exactly in the same way as their internal counterparts. To sum it up: the Monomachine is very well suited as the center of any MIDI setup.

Sculpt your sound with Monomachine's effects
The Monomachine gives you several effects on each of its six tracks. They are an important part in sculpting the final sound of a track. The Monomachine offers a tape style delay, sample rate reduction, 1-band EQ, and distortion on each track. All the effect settings are stored in a kit and all the parameters can be controlled from the sequencer. The Monomachine contains no fixed global effects, instead FX machines are used. There are four types of effects available, a reverb, a chorus, a compressor and a ring modulator. Route the tracks that should be affected to a track where an FX machine is assigned. Done!

Well-integrated sequencer and synth engine
One aspect of what makes the Monomachine so unique is how well its synth engine and its sequencer work together. The intuitive sequencer is more than just a simple arranger; it's a creative tool in its own right. Treat a pattern as an incredibly complex sound, transpose it up and down in real time and enjoy powerful monophonic sounds.

If sound shaping is your quest, you'll appreciate the Monomachine's three LFOs per track. They can modulate every parameter of the Monomachine and can even affect each other. And, as if that weren't enough, an arpeggiator is available on each track. The arpeggiator is so flexible it's better to think of it as a mini sequencer.

The param lock concept is ingenious and allows you to quickly create interesting sounds. You can use 3 LFOs per track to make things even more interesting. The There is a builtin machine with analog drum sounds which is nice, but you can easily make your own unique percussive sounds using the FM machines or noise. If the idea of a synth that programs like a beat box intrigues you, you should totally check it out. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
