Elektron Musical Instruments

hello back,

this really sounds familiar to my art of MnM using.
dow my biggest inconceivable problem are the
outputs in the "edit" mode: i just prepared my pattern
with all machines, tracks and knob moves and the i would
like to send my track number 6 to the outs C-D and when i
push the ENTER button all the settings are gone. <hint> :-)

and again: JOE knows what to do! thanx! i am very thankfull
to get a helping <hint>. whats even more important to see and hear
how other people work. i am also corious 'bout joes 
tech-using-interpretations...?

the one point of dave'n'lex 'bout the "notebook subject" i can't share:
the main positive point about this to me is, you can add so mutch pre
created functions with a laptop. you can get more output and complexer 
sounds than
with just "MnM hardware". ok, in this point we are not familiar then i 
am just
using one MnM, i just started from a few weeks ago to use the NUMEROLOGY
software and it seems to worked it out exatly the way i need. sometimes 
it's kind
of frustrating using NUM - less intuitive then the monomachine... but 
still,
you kann add polyphone sounds with al LAP wich is great to mixit up 
with monophone
analog sounds from the MnM. i am just preparing for live but it's not 
so stabel yet. lot's
of times the MnM crashes when NUM tries to sync to the MnM sequencer 
(over a amt8).

> Glad you enjoyed listening.  We actually prepared by creating

> pattern on each MonoMachine and MD, but is "loose" to allow for us
> to improvise and read the crowd.  We pre-programmed the joystick
> mappings, some basslines and melodies and had tracks ready with kits
> to play on the keyboard.  We used between 1 and 3 MM tracks per song
> per Monomachine.  Between songs we'd just jump to a new bank and
> we'd be ready to go...oh we also had to adjust the tempo too since

> played on the keyboard--we had several tracks to mute/un-mute to
> allow for flexibility (there were some tracks designated
> as "backups" that we never used).  The MD we just mute/un-muted
> machines and pre-sequenced patterns and tweeked.
