Anything else like the Monomachine?

So you maybe better off exploring the midi machine on the elektrons if you really prefer programming with plocks.

except you can't use P-Locks with the MIDI tracks. they only work on the internal sounds/tracks.

2) Multiple track sequencer (more than 2)
3) small table top design
4) decent sound
5) offers many synthesis types (not an emphasis on drums)

you mentioned it because of point 3? There are plenty of other small tabletop synths out there, why not mention one of them? Some of them even fulfil other requirements, like having sequencers and sounding good.

actually, the SH-32 has a great sound when comparing directly to the Monomachine. it's well-known to have a harsh, cold, and digital quality to its sound, which fits in great with the Monomachine, which is undeniably digital and crisp. 67 waveforms, 2 LFOs, inbuilt PCM 707/808/909/78 samples, an extensive and completely editable arpeggiator, 32-note poly... it's got tons of good stuff, and there are many folks, myself included, who really like its sound. on top of that, it's fairly inexpensive. having used it quite a bit myself, i think you can get results quite similar to the JP8000 with it.

about the only real misfire with the SH-32 is the lack of a sequencer.

I believe Pix is correct KA...

yup, your MnM does it too killed away

i'm doing something wrong, then.

d'oh, just figured out the problem, too. turns out, the trouble was inside me...

Actually I didn't really give a damn about this argument, but the thing sounds great to me, has a unique osc section which is not easily found elsewhere plus some flexible arps for damn cheap.

I was wondering if there are any other table top synthesizers that have:

1) Parameter lock type features
2) Multiple track sequencer (more than 2)
3) small table top design
4) decent sound
5) offers many synthesis types (not an emphasis on drums)

The E-mu Command Stations have 1, 2, kinda 3, 4, and enough synthesis flexibility to be kinda 5.


cheers,

Really? I haven't played with one for a couple of years, but when I did I was definitely unimpressed. Maybe I should have another look at them, they go for next to nothing these days.
