I was following the Elektron Model:Cycles thing last week and really enjoying what I heard. I decided to dust off the Monomachine and Nord Drum and try to approximate some of the textures. I also took the opportunity to try out a couple other tricks I'd been thinking about. I forgot how tedious all the MIDI setup and audio routing can be with hardware and it was somewhat of a slog.
Honestly, this was pretty good motivation to hurry back to SuperCollider land.

i've always wanted to use the nord drum, monomachine too.
They are both great machines. But what I've found particularly with the Monomachine is that I have to invest a certain amount of time in it before I make stuff that doesn't sound really corny. After months of collecting dust, a couple sessions in a weekend clearly don't suffice.

hahaha
Seriously, being able to do whatever I want sound-design-wise has really spoiled me. And even my nascent SC sequencing skills make the MnM's MIDI sequencing feel like keyhole surgery. I'm kind of at a point where hardware that isn't super immediate feels like a waste of time.

Lol don't use nanoloop

I love Nanoloop!
Maybe it's just the MIDI setup nonsense that bums me out.
This piece develops really nicely, Great job.

Thank you! It started pretty jammy and I just deleted things ruthlessly. I think that's becoming a key part of my process.
I'm so here for you doing more SC but this is really cool too! It being a real slow burn makes these stark tones really satisfying when each element comes in.

Thank you very much! I appreciate that observation, it's not something that occurred to me consciously while making it.
You're ace on the mono. Great sounds.This was a slow burn, mesmerizing. I watched me some Model Cycles vids, looks like a fun box! I'd still have my model samples if it had audio in! Time for some SC and mono sounds in a track maybe??
Oooh, like that percussive sounds in ending - critters in the night!

Thank you my dude! I like that idea a lot - maybe my MnM muscle memory combined with the limitless capabilities of SC could lead to good places. Glad you liked that outro - whenever I use the MnM I have to sneak some arpeggiator action in there
Yeah both Model machines just look like a real good time. But I'm trying to not buy any gear this year so I'll have plenty of time to think about which one I wanna get next January, hehe.
enjoyed this track, nice slow build

Thank you! I tend to do those slow builds with the Monomachine.
