48 parameters limit. It will virtually turn the potentiometer to the recorded
positions. You can add note trigs just as you would do in normal mode to
create a sequence.
The next note trig played by the sequencer after a mod note will revert the
synth parameters back to the normal values. So you can use these Mod
Notes to create “happy accidents” in an otherwise simple pattern by
playing it live for example, or to create weird patterns using di erent
timbres. Go back to normal mode by pressing [UP] + [DOWN] again.
Copy and paste operations
One can copy/paste a Mod Note - hold [FUNC] + [COPY], hit the mod note
[NOTE] key you want to copy, then hold [FUNC] + [PASTE] and hit the
destination [NOTE] key.
You can also “import/export” mod note to the current patch. To copy the
current patch to a mod note, hold [RECORD] and press the desired [NOTE]
key. Inversely, hold a [NOTE] key and press [RECORD] to copy a mod note to
the current patch.
Randomizer
Mono features several randomizing features to assist the musician's
creative process. They allow users to explore the depth of Mono’s
synthesis engine. There are di erent randomize options : randomize page,
step, parameter, accent, slide, and Mod Note.
Page randomizer
The page randomizer is useful to get a pattern going quickly, or to create
alternative patterns starting from a base pattern. It adds between 1 and 4
note trigs with random pitch on said page. The pitch is always quantized to
the scale of the pattern - this way, you can safely use it in live situations. Of
course, you can undo/redo this operation. The page randomizer was
designed to be used as an “additive tool” - you can start from scratch on an
empty pattern or create alterations on a rhythmic pattern, and then undo to
go back to the original pattern. The added step won’t contain parameter
o sets, probability, ratchet or microshift. They will however be slided or
accented at random.
To randomize a page, hold [FUNC] + [TEMPO], and hit the desired [PAGE]
key.
Pitch randomizer
The pitch randomizer allows the user to randomize the pitch of all the active
notes in the current pattern. It won’t add or remove notes. As you might
expect, the pitch of the randomized pitch will be quantized to the current
scale.
To randomize pitch, hold [FUNC] + [TEMPO], and hit the [PATTERN] key.
Step randomizer
The step randomizer as its name suggests randomizes a single step. It
adds a random note trig to the desired step, the pitch is also quantized to
the pattern. It will also randomize some synth parameter o sets. The
parameter o sets being randomized are selected at random, and the value
