have got both an while the monomachine is a great piece of kit I defo use my machinedrum a hello of a lot more. Its great for djin as well as live arrangment an i've just started to intergrate it into my liveset. I know Jesse Heartthrob uses the monomachine with great success, wont go wrong with either

Isn't this the case with every good piece of kit?

Like that minus sound very much... what exactly are the sounds are you referring to... bass, percussion, fx, keys etc?
MarcAshken said "Jesse Heartthrob uses the monomachine with great success" what sound do you think he is talking about? sorry to be a pain in the arse but I am looking to purchase the machinedrum & monomachine and don't want to make the wrong purchase on the synth, defnetly geeting the machinedrum SPS-1 UW
thanks for your time

Cheers

sauce: More or less. More with the Monomachine I'd say, compared to less with my Juno-2. More with the FR-777 compared to the TB-303.

Don't get me wrong, I've had the monomachine since the betatesting phase, I like it a lot. It might be that I am very used to analogue synths which makes me feel that the monomachine sound too clean, hence I need to tweak it to get rid of that.

when you guys compare the machine drum to the monomachine you mean by that you use the machine drum more often or something ??

i just have trouble understanding how can someone say that a drum machine is better than a synth since its 2 different thing .

but as i said i never tried any of them so i cant sayyyyy

Yeah, usability is a big factor, as well as which machine is more groundbreaking, as in, the Monomachine is ultra usable and a very good sounding monosynth, while the Machinedrum has made history... All in my opinion, of course! I said this in another thread, and I'll say it again: I really believe the Machinedrum to be the finest drum machine ever built.

i have the monomachine ... it is the single most innovative instrument on the market, electronically speaking. it's absolutely amazing. it has immense depth, enormous creative inspiration at every corner of the way, and it's just a shitload of fun to play with. you can really get into some very wacky, twisted zones with the aid of the monomachine and not drugs

anyway, i'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for one of the most progressive, forward-thinking synths on the market.
