General

What is it for?:

• The MONO generates monophonic note patterns. 
• Unique is that it has different looppoints for time/note&slide/velocity and duration. 
• Ideal for generating evolving basslines, arpeggio's, hypnotic phrases, and more crazy stuff.

• Step-sequence with mouse, PC- and midi-keyboard.
• Phrase record with PC- and midi-keyboard.
• Groove record (tap rhythm).
• Drop midi-clips from linear panel or browser.

Different elements

• -> Midi velocity fade (Event). Great for intro's and fade-outs.

• Slides are generated by means of midi-pitchwheel changes (14 bit).  Slides are time based (from 0% to 100%) and are calculated considering the previously played note. In the example on the left a stream of pitchwheel changes is generated when C2 has been played for about 75%.

• Phrase record (recording will wait upon midi input, pattern length is auto-aligned to a quarter)
• Offset in ticks (rubato)
• Pattern(s) length, number of times a pattern should be looped, and informative counter.
• Midi-channel for notes. (usefull in case of multi-timbral VST's)
• export to [MONO]-preset
• Direction of note-row

Timing Row

•  
  Predefinied timing (auto-quantised)
•  
  Timing in ticks, [Shift]+drag to apply grooves.
• Special timing values
  • Chords, an algorythmic approach to chord generation.
  • Strumming : these timing values are looptime compensated. 
    (not included in the total patternlength)

Note Row

• 
  Hold [Shift] for audition, [Control] for all following steps, [Double-Click] to draw

Velocity Row

• 
  Hold [Shift] for fast dialing, [Control] for all following steps, [Double-Click] to draw

Duration Row

•  
  Percentages of time (10%-800%)
  Hold [Shift] for fast dialing, [Control] for all following steps

Variable looppoints per row

•  
  [Left] and [Right-Click] to set begin- and endpoints
  Plays backwards when endpoint is before beginpoint.
• [Left-Click] an drag left-right to rotate row, [Shift]+[Left-Click] to rotate all rows

• Selection = all values between begin- and endpoints
• Behaviour : choose between "Leds" / "Knobs" / Timing in "Ticks" / "Icons" or in standard notation
  •

  Step-Record

• Timing row : record rythm
  • You will notice that the row's behaviour will change to "ticks".
  • Quantisation to 16th's will be applied.
  • Tap your rhythm with [Left-Shift] and/or [Right-Shift].
  • Repeat the first beat to mark the end of the rhythm/ set the correct loop length.
  • Disable the record button.
• Note row : record notes (with PC keyboard or through Midi In)
• Velocity row : record velocities (use F1-F8 for predefined velocities)
• Duration row : record durations (idem dito)

  Draw

[Double-Click] on note- or velocity row
[Double-Click] again, or [Right-Click] on draw window to close draw window
Hold [Control] to draw octaves

Tips

If you are used to piano-roll editing :

• [Right-Click] on linear -> New Note-Clip.**
• Now you can drag the note-clip from the linear to the Mono-panel.
