Elektron Monomachine Emulation | Factory Patterns Demo

video upload by Autodafe

Part 1 here

"What if you could run an Elektron Monomachine inside your computer? 👀

In this video I’m testing Gearmulator MM, an emulation of the legendary Elektron Monomachine developed by Joe Landers as a fork of the Gearmulator project.

No talking — just the interface, some factory patterns and the sound of the emulation in action. 🎧

⚙️ Gearmulator uses low-level hardware emulation to run the original firmware rather than simply recreating the synth behaviour.

Joe Landers’ gearmulator-md-mm fork adds support for Elektron Monomachine and Machinedrum.

Monomodule 1.1.0 Beta Demo (Elektron Monomachine Emulator)

video upload by Ticco Ross

Additinal Monomodule posts

"Monomodule beta 1.1.0 notes:

Reworked library UI and structure

Added preset saving, sysex exports, just a ton of stuff i dont feel like writing down

Added Monomodule FX as a standalone FX bus plugin

NEXT RELEASE WILL BE OPEN SOURCE!!

Shnolk Monomodule — beta

A chip-level emulation of the Elektron Monomachine. This installer puts the plugins in the system plugin folders (Audio Unit and VST3) and the Library app in /Applications:

• Monomodule One — one Monomachine track: every synth and FX machine, the three LFOs (instrument)


• Monomodule Six — all six tracks in one instrument: MIDI channels 1-6, one stereo output per track, the hardware's routing (multitimbral instrument)


• Monomodule FX — the FX machines (THRU, REVERB, CHORUS, DYNAMIX, RINGMOD, PHASER, FLANGER) as an audio effect for any channel, with the same pages and LFOs (effect)


• Monomodule Library — a standalone app: import your Monomachine sysex dumps, browse their presets, kits and patterns, hear them with the play glyphs, and drag them into the plugins or the DAW

Requires Windows and macOS 12 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel.

Thanks to @halftoneworld for making this Monomachine Emulator"

NINE INCH NAILS - Closer (Sequential PRO 3 & Elektron Digitakt)

video upload by nicola neeco

"After listening the Nine Inch Noize version of Closer, I wanted to recreate one of my favorite sounds from the original track.
On the Sequential Pro 3, I designed a synth stab patch inspired by the iconic riff of this track from The Downward Spiral.
For the drums, I used the Elektron Digitakt, building a similar industrial groove using samples from my own drum library."

Machinedrum Emulation is HERE | Factory Patterns Demo

video upload by Autodafe

"What if you could run an Elektron Machinedrum inside your computer?

In this video I'm taking a look at Gearmulator MD, an impressive emulation of the legendary Elektron Machinedrum, developed by Joe Landers as a fork of the Gearmulator project.

There is no talking in this video — just a quick look at the interface and a selection of the original factory patterns, so you can hear the emulation in action.

⚙️ ABOUT THE EMULATION

Gearmulator is a low-level emulation project that recreates the hardware used by several classic digital synthesizers and runs their original firmware.

Joe Landers' gearmulator-md-mm fork extends that work with emulations of the Elektron Machinedrum and Elektron Monomachine.

The result is not simply a software recreation inspired by the Machinedrum: it runs the original machine firmware on an emulated version of the underlying hardware.

At the time of making this video the project is still in alpha development, so expect things to continue evolving.

NINE INCH NAILS - The Becoming (Sequential PRO 3 & Elektron Syntakt)

video upload by nicola neeco

"I recreated one of my favorite basslines from The Becoming by Nine Inch Nails, from The Downward Spiral. For this version, I used the Sequential Pro 3 for the bassline and the Elektron Syntakt for the drums (no samples, just synthesis)
I wanted to capture that raw, tense, mechanical energy while keeping the whole thing fully hands-on and hardware-driven.

Monomodule -1.0.1-Beta (Elektron Monomachine emulator)

video upload by Ticco Ross

"Another different emulator. It emulates the sound engine of one monophonic voice per track. All the various machines and effects featured in the Monomachine are present.
Private Beta. Soon in your DAW of choice.
The only file needed is the original Elektron_SFX6-60_OS1.32B.syx you can get @ Elektrons official web"

From the developer: "I'm the developer of this, it is currently only released in the form of a private, invite-only beta, but the full public release coming next week will be free and open source."

"Here is a small demo of this Monomachine/Machinedrum emulator. Yes, you read that right. A true emulator with all its functions included, even parameter locks. Still in Alpha stage and you can see its peaking 75% CPU but its working flawlessly.
You´ll need your original Rom for MD/MM.

Slow Morning Ambient Session | Bastl Micro Granny & Elektron Digitone

video upload by Hideo Nakasako

"A slow and gentle ambient session for the morning.

For this session, I combined the warm, slightly worn textures of the Bastl Micro Granny with the clean and delicate tones of the Elektron Digitone.

The sounds slowly blend into each other, with subtle movement and small changes unfolding over time.

Nothing too busy — just texture, space, and a few sounds melting together.

I like how simple combinations of hardware can create a quiet atmosphere without needing too much.

If you have a peaceful morning, I hope you can take a little time to listen. ☕️

Recorded as a live hardware session.

Gear:
Bastl Micro Granny
Elektron Digitone"

Drum & Bass at Sunset 🌅 LIVE Electronic Hardware Session

video upload by imagination.project

"🌅 A new Drum & Bass live session performed at sunset by the Black Sea in Odesa, Ukraine.

Built live with Elektron Digitakt II, Digitone and Roland S-1 🎛️ — melodic DnB, deep bass, psychedelic synth textures and evolving hardware sequences.

This time I also brought Virus synth sounds into the track, adding a deeper psychedelic character to the mix. 🌀

Roland S-1 takes a special role in the transitions, creating wild evolving effects and sequences, while Digitakt II and Digitone drive the groove, bass and melodic layers.

🌊 One of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve captured for an Imagination.Project session — electronic music, psychedelic sound and the Black Sea coming together in one live performance.

Recorded on the Black Sea coast in Odesa, Ukraine. 🇺🇦"

No studio. No prepared stage. Just hardware, music, rocks and the Black Sea.

New Elektron Outbox8 opens up Digitakt II.

video upload by keinseier

"A lot of cables, because: a lot of new routing options! Made possible by the breakout box Outbox8 for most Elektron boxes, in this case the Digitakt II. Ion this track I chose to send several channels to the AC Noises Continua into the Electronic Audio Experiments Scattering, others to the GFI Soils Ventus for Delay and Shimmer, and the rest dry. So many new options!"

"Outbox 8 adds eight outputs for configurable audio and CV, meaning you can turn your compatible Elektron machine into an octopus of connectivity. Add external effects. Separate your tracks out to a mixer or wherever. Control and sequence your modular gear or any other CV-equipped devices. And though Outbox 8 is predominantly made with your Elektron units in mind, it can do the same with a bunch more class-compliant gear too. Break out your sound and control, whatever the moment calls for."

In addition used the BOSS CE1 for thickening the pads.
