Monomachine Tips and Tricks from the forum I've collected.

Monomachine EQ values mapped to frequency in Hz

Update 6-4-2013: lfo speeds are also displayed as divisions. Euclids algorithm was used to find the greatest common divisor.

A table which shows all possible lfo speeds.

Schematics for the filters and vca section of the Oxford OSCar synthesizer.

Complete hand drawn OSCar schematics, completely unorganized.

V1 : MIDI SEQUENCER table completed

First version (V0 !) and probably not entirely complete of a summary of the buttons combinations of the OT. By now, I just made one table by chapter, following the Ot manual 1.2.2. I tried to improve the presentation by using different symbols to differentiate the different kinds of keys. Hoping some feedback to improve this document. If anyone is interrested, I can also upload the source document (I use TextMaker 2008, a small and free text editor compatible with word).

Updated 6-4-2013: section on volume handling added  

 Some thoughts on Elektron' s Octatrack:

 -the role of the sample slot list

-the part system

 -working with scenes

-signal flow

-sampling techniques 

 

 

This is from my Russian Dragon brochure - this is a box that measures timing accuracy to withing a tenth of a millisecond. There are quite a few heavy weight users here. Have a read what they have to say about rhythmic timing - regards David.

This is the more detailed user list from my original Russian Dragon brochure - this is a box that measures timing accuracy to withing a tenth of a millisecond. You will recognise a few names, studios and companies - including Digidesign, E-Mu and MOTU as RD customers. Regards David.

I made this sheet to aid me when programming tables on the SidStation. It makes keeping track of note values easier, plus it gives you some sort of visual image of what's happening where, on what osc and on what step. I left out the 65th step since I normally only work in values divided by eight; but there's plenty of room for adding notes on the last sheet if you should need it.

There's three versions, color coded, grey color coding and a simple black and white. I also included the office document in case any one wants to modify it.

[edit]

In hindsight I thought some explanation of the color coding might come in handy. Here goes:

If you decide that one letter equals one bar, i.e.:

A = 1 bar
B = 2 bar
C = 3 bar
D = 4 bar etc...

...then your color coding equals the following:

Yellow = 1/1th note
Green = 1/2th note
Pink = 1/4th note
Blue = 1/8th note

Or if you decide that two letters equals one bar, i.e.:

A+B = 1 bar
C+ D = 2 bar etc...

...then your color coding translates to the following:

Yellow = 1/2th note
Green = 1/4 th note
Pink = 1/8th note
Blue = 16/th note

This is a .pdf file of a matrix of the start/end points of RomMachine 25-32. I use it like this: Open the a sample that you've copied/gonna copy to UW in a sample editor. I use (shift+Apple+4) to activate the OSX screenshot thingy. (use special app. on PC). Then I capture the waveform as big as possible: 'click' I use Illustrator (but any cut&paste graphix app. will do) to import the PDF file rom25_32strtpnt.pdf. Then I place the just taken 'photograph' of my waveform, and place it behind the matrix. Now i stretch the waveform till it fits. Now repeat till all your (25-32) rom samples are finished. Then i use the Laser printer at work to print them on A3 size paper... (now even the smallest digit will be readable). Now you have a quick lookup-table of where (what start/end) a certain part in a loop is. I use it for beat-loops and this works very well for me... Hope more people find this helpfull. If not, please tell me and i'll quit using it myself :-D Not really, but please tell me if misstyped something. I'll revise it. I hope Elektron can give some info's for the RomMach 1-24. Because i don't know how to calculate those.

nifty recall sheet..
