This is thee best combo of the Elektron’s machines. A class apart and ahead of its time. In 2007 I wanted the Monomachine and Machine drum I got the Monomachine in 2007 and was lost. I sent it back to Elektron in two days. 😭😭😭😭 And I still regret it each day. Then there were no videos or support and I knew little of sound synthesis. Today I miss it in my Elektron Arsenal
alright, it's important that you know (if you have forgotten) how absolutely well done your stuff is. Jam aside, your text adds a vital dimension to your work here and in other videos. Thanks for constantly putting in the effort, its noticed and we're all grateful
I enjoyed every last second of that. That was a treat to any Elektron and non-Elektron junkies (I'm sure). You definitely got a new subscriber. Thanks for that!
I love the look of the new Elektron boxes more than the old ones, but the old ones look so cool too, remind me a bit of telecommunications and electronics test equipment from the 80s
Absolutely amazing! I’ve had all of these machines at different times throughout the years. This is the best I’ve ever heard them sound. Seriously, this is a masterwork. Like, I’m literally getting chills now. Bravo!
Nice tune! I blame the silver Elektrons for the start of my GAS even though I never got to own one. It's cool to see more people putting out videos of gear that aren't the latest and greatest (maybe this is just the greatest).
This is sonically gorgeous and massively inspiring. I’ve been pissing around with DAW centric setups for too long. This has made me realise that hardware is my future, and Elektron is my destiny.
Truly epic! Your breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of each machine and 'the Elektron workflow' is spot on. It almost feels like a sonic love letter.
I’ve listened to this a few times. But not until today realized what a great piece of work it is! Love the how you manage the dynamics of each part. Awesomely complex but too noisy. That screechy pad sequence that runs throughout most of the track is killer and the ending with the strings is epic!
This is astonishingly well made, Monomachine and MD are probably my favourite synths ever, the eerie early 00s nostalgia (times I can't remember very well myself due to the fact I was 4yo in 2000, but I think the faded idea I have of that time makes it even more interesting) is captured perfectly here thanks to your programming skills and Elektrons' tone both. Thanks!
Professional and knowledgeable. I can almost hear your voice explaining all facts in the subtitles. Your description of the Octatrack is so hilariously true. Well done
That was a delicous jam, Jay! Love the chord progression and choice of instruments and sounds. I love the explanation, and that stop-then-play trick to get the arp back made me grin :D Awesome work!
This is a crazy ass jam dude... wtf is going on in your head, what a wild song. is it double time?... i don't know what is going on yet it so musical at the same time. Awesome work!
This has become my good morning track of choice.! My nabours are elated., elevated, concrigated, emancipated, immaculated, syncopated, beamupulated, and Thank You, Jay, You make my day, - 🛸🚀✨
damn this was amazing! really incredible how the song opened up around 90 seconds in, I had no idea there was THAT much ready to be unleashed. Only arrived here because I just found out about the Monomachine... and also how apparently it's impossible to get now and discontinued :(, looks like a blast. Thanks for the tune!
Had an Octatrack and hated it. These vids have the potential to make me go out and buy one again, which seems a bit frightening to me. It probably still usn't for me but this makes me feel like I was so wrong! Great vid!
It is easy to become dispirited when you see someone do it so well, but I think what's important is that you enjoy what you do yourself and keep learning. I've watched Jay, Ehsan Gelsi, Mr Dataline, etc, all brilliant at what they do, but also great teachers and I've slooowly gotten better to the point my wife no longer takes the P, but actually likes what I do :) Have fun.
@@JayHosking The tempo and accent moments of this piece remind me a lot of Datassette's thematic "Partita for Unattended computer" kind of a Latin percussion accent scheme
Sometimes i think i should have just stuck to these 3 machines...Monomachine sounds like nothing else. its amazing, and possibly my favourite elektron machine
i got so inspired with this video all the time i see it! i have a similar setup, with analog 4, analog rytm and octatrack, and i kinda do the same stuff you do! i had a digitone, sold for buying and the octrack and i'm in deep love with it. i would really really find a monomachine to end my setup! hope the price will ever get lower....
I just bought mine for $2400. A couple months ago it was going for around 2000. Sadly it just keeps going up in price, but you are owning a piece of music history with the monomachine. I have no regrets
Edit: 4 years later, still coming back a lot to this video My octatravk has gone for a monome norns+grid and sometimes I regret It. The analog 4 is also gone and I don't miss it so much. The rytm still with me and for a very lucky lucky convenience I got a machinedrum uw MK2 for 350 euros... Got a weird setup right now, using the rytm for synth and extra drums but Is indeed fun!
I think they still use CF instead SD because of the higher speeds...CF-cards can reach 370 bis 600 MB/s and SD cards on paper also can reach 230MB/s but mostly they are why slower at 30.
Nice track! ... Just ordered my OT Mk2 today to pair with my Machinedrum. Would love to eventually get the trio , though it’s hard to decide between A4 or MnM (no experience with either) .
(edit) Good grief, I was considering Monomachine just last year when I got my MD UW+ - when it was only slightly more expensive than MD, at around $1500 or so ... Now there are far fewer listings and listed at 3k each. My heart just sank a little.
jesus man, you work that octatrack like it owes you money

Just beautiful. I think your Octatrack + friends demos are the most inspiring that I have seen. Thanks!
Would rarely listen an entire jam from start to finish, this though had me glued in all the way. Fantastic work
This is an awesome combo. I wish they re-released the monomachine and the machinedrum.
Mannn, super nice jam once again
You and jay are the cause of why i will probably buy an OT, im thinking so much about it lately ahahah
alright, it's important that you know (if you have forgotten) how absolutely well done your stuff is. Jam aside, your text adds a vital dimension to your work here and in other videos. Thanks for constantly putting in the effort, its noticed and we're all grateful
Really appreciate it, thanks.
MnM and MD are top of the line design wise...I sill have not seen any machine with such beautifully designed interface and plate.
I enjoyed every last second of that. That was a treat to any Elektron and non-Elektron junkies (I'm sure). You definitely got a new subscriber. Thanks for that!
Thank you for playing the Monomachine! Got one last week and I’m in love!
I love the look of the new Elektron boxes more than the old ones, but the old ones look so cool too, remind me a bit of telecommunications and electronics test equipment from the 80s
Mk1 - black metal - rulez !! And they are very compact, in times of overfloating desks
Absolutely amazing! I’ve had all of these machines at different times throughout the years. This is the best I’ve ever heard them sound. Seriously, this is a masterwork. Like, I’m literally getting chills now. Bravo!
This may be my favorite track of yours of all time Jay and DEFINITELY the best holy trinity video I've ever seen. Anywhere. Just glorious.
Nice tune! I blame the silver Elektrons for the start of my GAS even though I never got to own one. It's cool to see more people putting out videos of gear that aren't the latest and greatest (maybe this is just the greatest).

The best of the best from elektron. It can never get better than this.
Even if they relaunch both the MD and MM there will too many takers
awesome video ... you put on an amazing live performance. thank you!!!
No, thank you Jay for indulging me during my morning tea break!
Ideal usage. The structure which does not get bored is also good.
This gets linked everytime after a Moderat playlist I usually listen to and I am aways thinking is part of their set. Truly nice work on this one!
2 years after I finally managed to snatch a Grey OT, MD and MnM. Time to try to get close to this : D

Thinking about how much is involved in this makes my head hurt. Pretty cool, man.
Awesome, now I'm even more excited about the octatrack I've ordered. Top work, thanks for sharing
Best elektron jam of youtube !! thanks !
The fact that the Monomachine and Machinedrum are considered vintage now gives me anxiety 😮
It was meant *somewhat* tongue in cheek!
Lolol 🤣
Pretty amazing sounds, just love them all.
My three all time favorite machines. You did a great job here!
Wooow, great team, song and video!!!!
Had an Octatrack and hated it. These vids have the potential to make me go out and buy one again, which seems a bit frightening to me. It probably still usn't for me but this makes me feel like I was so wrong! Great vid!
Really nice. Great atmosphere, good sounds: love it. Thanks!
You say nostalgic, but these boxes still sound futuristic. Nice jam.
I actually wish I hadn’t watched that, I just feel vastly inadequate and depressed now.
It is easy to become dispirited when you see someone do it so well, but I think what's important is that you enjoy what you do yourself and keep learning. I've watched Jay, Ehsan Gelsi, Mr Dataline, etc, all brilliant at what they do, but also great teachers and I've slooowly gotten better to the point my wife no longer takes the P, but actually likes what I do :) Have fun.
He probably spent days if not weeks honing this track and another dozen of hours recording, no one really just makes a video like this in one day
One of the rarely tracks with musical inspiration in its sounds, well done, ilike it!
and...STILL...Some of the best Hoskingianna,-
Really inspirational. There's enough juice in the melody, and IDM, that this reminds me of Datassette.
Amazing! I know little about genre, but I am a huge fan of Datassette (esp. People Without Mouths).
@@JayHosking yup yup :)
@@JayHosking The tempo and accent moments of this piece remind me a lot of Datassette's thematic "Partita for Unattended computer" kind of a Latin percussion accent scheme
@@midinerd I don't know it by name, but I'll look it up!
Nice. Really enjoyed this
This is exceptional work. These units are great in capable hands. Still very relevant gear today.
They really are capable units! I'm looking forward to exploring them a lot more. And thanks!
well this did catch me...beautiful!
Masterfully pulled off Jay, just beautiful!
I appreciate the style of your videos even if the music isn't my cup of tea. thanks for showcasing this. i'm looking at replicating it
OMG ! Thx for sharing that piece and comments are super usefull !!
very cool! fat drums and beautiful
arpeggio!! nice!!
Oh god this was beautiful
Another great video! Great stuff, please do keep them coming.
I would love updated versions of mono machine and machine drum in the format of digitakt and digitone
Same!
Nice video, I hope to get and Elektron soon. Good sound! I love the textures.
Gorgeous work here Jay!
Beautiful stuff! You really know them inside and out and the captions here and there were great.
Thanks! I feel like I'm just getting started knowing them!
Very nice track/performance/demo !
what a wild drum pattern!
Suuuuuuuuper !!!!! Congratulations, thank you !!!!
i want to watch you set up scenes in one of these. you get the best results from them
I got an Octatrack because of this video.
'well that could have gone worse' -> love it
it is beautiful
Very awesome, I love that this jam comes with a story. :)
Sometimes i think i should have just stuck to these 3 machines...Monomachine sounds like nothing else. its amazing, and possibly my favourite elektron machine
Agreed on the Monomachine! And yeah, you could make endless amazing music with these three alone.
@@JayHosking love your work
Love the commentary.
really well played and made use of the OT scenes in a very exciting way. might steal some of your tricks though ;)
Please do! I'm sure I stole half of them from the presets, and the other half from Dataline.
@@JayHosking no shame in stealing from the master himself XD
really really good
These are sweet. I always wanted to try the Elektron stuff.... you’re making it difficult to resist lol
Beautiful
Wicked stuff!
Okay, one on my favourite channels at the moment! I should have pushed that sub button long ago. :)
Elektron rulez! They made the right gears.
And the good Dotore simply KILL's with this track, reminds me of Peter Gabriel, -and Black Tie White Noise with Bowie, -
This is awesome!
Beautiful piece Jay. My OCT is the center of everything I do now I've got rid of the DAW - making music has become fun again :)
That was great thanks, you plan on taking a look at a digitone, getting difficult to get hold of monomachine!
Yeah, I've done a few tracks with the Digitone and really enjoy it, especially when run through something grimy!
that is really spectacular
Beautiful work!
Love the commentary!
Thanks for indulging yourself
It's amazing, beautiful track !
Here goes nothing...🎯
thanks for the show, a jewel of elektron insight for us Roland junkies. nice format
I'll be putting the MC-707 through its paces next, most likely! (Can't resist a new groovebox.)
I got my start with an MC-202 way back in the day. Looking forward to it. No pressure.
p.s. Sorry bout spoiler🎯
@@dr.feelicks2051 Hah, I thought it was great!
You are one talented dood.
flippin` stunning!
Fantastic. What modern gear would replace an MD then? Not that I want to replace mine, I love it to bits.
this is dope!!
i got so inspired with this video all the time i see it!
i have a similar setup, with analog 4, analog rytm and octatrack, and i kinda do the same stuff you do!

youre the man !
Wonderful
Excellent 👏👏👏 THANKS!
this is excellent
I love your videos dude!
I think they still use CF instead SD because of the higher speeds...CF-cards can reach 370 bis 600 MB/s and SD cards on paper also can reach 230MB/s but mostly they are why slower at 30.
Great as usual!! Thank you 💕

@@AdamsBrew78 It's fun, but there are plenty of great things for that money!
this is amazing!
Marvellous! ✊
amazing job
