What MNM-1 does

  • Six monophonic tracks each run one machine, from SuperWave, SID, FM and vocal synths to reverb, chorus, ring and phaser effects.
  • Calibrated machines add drums, pulse, ensemble, noise and more, each with its own full audio chain.
  • Every track gets a resonant high-pass into low-pass filter, a tempo-synced tape delay and three LFOs.
  • The sequencer holds up to 64 steps per track with its own length, probability, A/B conditions, ratchets and accents.
  • Parameter locks hold a value until the next trig, recorded live with REC or set in LOCK mode, and slide between locks.
  • ALGORITHM picks the track, SELECT turns pages and swaps machines, and KNOB 1-4 edit the lit row.
  • SAVE stores patterns and independent kits, with 330 factory sounds on the PRESETS knob and 128 user slots.
  • MIDI and clock travel over USB and TRS, with MIDI LEARN and live input playing tracks chromatically.
