Quick start

1. Connect audio outs to a mix table, turn the volume knob fully clockwise.

2. Connect a MIDI keyboard into the MIDI Input

3. Power the MM with a 9V DC 2.1mm PSU.

4. Play some notes on MIDI channel 1, you should hear patch number 1 playing

5. Press Load

6. Turn encoder 6 to navigate thru the patches. Press Load again to load selected patch, press
Home to cancel and return to previously loaded sound.

7. Alternatively, you can push encoder 1 & 2 to navigate and load the previous or next patch

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 6

Using the Micromonsta

The MM has been developed with easy editing in mind and we do think it is really easy to edit
given the synthesis complexity featured onboard. However, some parameters may need some
explanations that you will find in this manual.

Navigating pages

How to navigate throughout the MM architecture?

Parameters are mapped across different sections accessed by pressing a corresponding button on the
front panel.

When a section has several pages, you access them by successively pressing the same button several
times. When you are on the last page, it returns to the first one.

For example, pressing OSC several times will make you travel the following pages: OSC1 > OSC2
> SUB > OSC1 > OSC2 etc.

Some sections (the ones labelled in green) are accessible by simultaneously pressing Home [shift] +
another button. For example [shift] + OSC will take you to the Mixer page.

Editing parameters

The LCD provides up to 6 parameters to edit.

Use encoders 1-6 to change their corresponding parameter value.

Some parameters can be reset to a default value when pushing the corresponding encoder (all
bipolar parameters for example).

HOME | Main page

This is where you land when you power your MM polyphonic synthesizer

P038 cut res mix bpm
RandJuno 0 100 74 100

You get the program number and name as well as shortcuts to 4 different parameters.
You can set these parameters, per preset, in the Globals menu (2nd page)

You can navigate presets from this screen by pressing encoder buttons 1 and 2.
Quite useful in a live situation.

NOTE: When in this mode, LEDs 2 to 9 will show the activity of voices 1 to 8.

OSC | Oscillators

Oscillator 1

Oscillator 1 is the main oscillator. It also drives the sub oscillator.

OSC1 trs tun shp lfo1 mix
saw +3 [phone]

• OSC1 oscillator algorithm selector

• trs patch transpose (+- 2 octaves per semitone step)

• tun oscillator fine tune

• shp oscillator shape modifier

• lfo1 lfo1 modulation amount (targets shape parameter)

• mix oscillator mix level

Oscillator 2

Oscillator 2 is functionally the same as oscillator 1, but its tune can be offset from -24 to 24
semitones.

OSC2 rng tun shp env3 mix
sin -7 -15 100 +10 99

• OSC2 oscillator algorithm selector

• rng oscillator coarse tune

In this page, you access oscillator 1′ sub oscillator and noise parameters.

SUB oct mix NZE mix
squ -1 127 -9 25

• SUB sub shape

• oct sub oscillator octave number

• mix sub oscillator mix level

• nze noise filter

• mix noise mix level

The oscillator algorithms

12 oscillators, 15 factory wavetables and 15 user wavetables are available for each of the 2 main
oscillators.

mph

Morphing oscillator, when turning the shape parameter, it morphs from triangle (shape = 0), to
sawtooth (shape = 42), to square (shape = 84) to pulse width.

Quite a very versatile oscillator, it can do lots of things other algorithms aren’t capable of doing.

sin

A sinus oscillator that turns into a basic FM operator with the shape control

tri

A triangle oscillator into a foldback digital distortion. Shape controls the gain.

When shape is set to 127, the oscillator will produce a triangle wave with its pitch one octave and a
fifth higher.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 10

saw

The classic sawtooth waveform.

Shape adds a second phase shifted sawtooth to the first one.When shape is set to 127, the oscillator
will produce a sawtooth wave with its pitch of 1 octave higher.

squ

The classic square oscillator with PW.

Shape controls the pulse width.

ss1

This oscillator produces 3 detuned saws for that Roland-ish “supers@w” sound, but without the
nasty aliasing.

Shape controls the detuning of 3 oscillators

ss2

Same as ss2, but the detuning between oscillators is unbalanced, which gives slightly different
results.

Shape controls the amount of detuning.

sws

This oscillator internally has 2 oscillators, 1 master, and 1 sawtooth slave oscillator that is hard
synced to the master.

The shape parameter controls the pitch of the slave oscillator.

sqs

Same as sws but with a square slave oscillator

rz1, rz2 and rz3

Those are phase distortion algorithms from the Casio CZ series.

They all simulate a filter sweep with the shape parameter.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 11

rz1 is the saw version, rz2 the triangle, and rz3 the trapezoidal one.

w01 to w15

Factory wavetables

• w01 sawtooth with formant shift

• w02 square with formant shift

• w03 random wavetable

• w04 sine + random partials

• w05 guitar note with formant shift

• w06 sample 1

• w07 sample 2

• w08 sample 3

• w09 sample 4

• w10 random organ waveforms

• w11 sine + even harmonics sweep

• w12 sine + odd harmonics sweep

• w13 sine + even + odd harmonics sweep

• w14 vowels

• w15 spoken words

Each wavetable contains 33 slices. The shape parameter controls the position of the reading index
and will interpolate between the slices.

w16 to w30

User wavetables. By default, these wavetables produce no sound… until you upload your own :)

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 12

Oscillator tips

While both oscillators are essentially the same, they do not have the same direct shape modulation
source, lfo1 for osc1 and env3 for osc2.

So if you want to do the classic pwm sound, osc1 is better suited as you can directly modulate the
pulse width with lfo1, while if you want to do the classic hard sync sound, osc2 might be a wiser
choice as you’ll be able to control the pitch of the slave oscillator with env3.
This makes a better use of the internal architecture and can save modulation matrix slots.

About the noise filter (and all bipolar-value filters inside the MM)

Throughout the synthesis architecture, several bipolar-value filters are available (noise filter, delay
filter, global filter for example).

These filters are all working in the same way:

• When the value is negative, it acts as a 6dB lowpass filter

• When the value is positive, it acts as a 6dB hipass filter

• When set to 0, it has no effect

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 13

Source mixer | MIXER

This is the mixer section, where you can adjust all sources volumes, as well as a VCA drive
parameter, allowing adjustments to the overall patch volume (if you want to balance patches
volumes, this is the parameter you need).

osc1 osc2 sub rmd nze vca
100 99 50 0 0 +6

You have access to the 2 oscillators mix level, as well as the Sub and noise level.
You can also set the rmd level, which is the level of the output of osc1 and osc2 thru a ring
modulator.

When adjusting patch volume, always compare the patch level compared to one of the factory
presets, pushing this parameter too hard (especially for polyphonic patches) may end with unwanted
nasty distortion.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 14

Filter | FILTER

This is the page where you control one of the main component of a subtractive synthesis capable
synthesizer: the filter. The filter allows to remove and emphasize the frequencies generated by the
oscillators.

FLTR cut res env2 lfo2 kbd
LP4 50 60 +50 -15 50%

• FLTR Filter type

• cut cutoff frequency (in semitones)

• res resonance amount

• env2 envelope 2 modulation amount (targets cutoff)

• lfo2 lfo2 modulation amount (targets cutoff)

• kbd keyboard tracking amount (0, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)

Filter types

The Micromonsta filter topology allows different filter types

• LP1 1-pole lowpass filter

• LP2 2-pole lowpass filter

• LP3 3-pole lowpass filter

• LP4 4-pole lowpass filter

• HP2 2-pole hipass filter

• BP2 2-pole bandpass filter

• Not Notch filter

• Pha Phaser filter

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 15

All the lowpass filters have resonance compensation = no bass frequency loss with increased
resonance values.

The voice settings page | Voice

This is where you will find the settings related to the voices

mod uni detunin – pan ­ p2 1 32 20 lin 28

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 16

Envelopes | ENV

The Micromonsta features 3 envelopes per voice. They all have the same parameters and their
behavior is the same.

ENV1 atk dcy sus rel rst
exp 0 60 95 25 off

• ENV1 envelope curve (fast | exponential | linear)

• atk attack time

• dcy decay time

• sus sustain level

• rel release time

• rst reset switch, when on, the envelope is reset to zero when the voice is

re-triggered (off = analog mode)

Attack, decay and release times can be set from 1ms to 30s, and they are available as destinations in
the modulation matrix.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 18

Low frequency oscillators | LFO

The Micromonsta has 3 LFOs per voice that can optionally be synced to the patch tempo

LFO1 spd dly atk phs rst
tri 1/8 0 30 45 on

• LFO1 waveform

• spd speed (around 0.05Hz to 78Hz – values above 127 are tempo sync values)

• dly delay time (0 to 10s – values above 127 are tempo sync values)

• atk attack time (0 to 30s)

• phs phase (0° to 315°)

• rst key-trig reset

LFO speed is available as a destination in the modulation matrix.

LFO waveforms

Different waveforms are available, they are:

• sin sinus

• tri triangle

• saw sawtooth

• squ square

• s&h sample and hold

• rnd continuously randomly moving waveform

• stp step sequence (uses the steps programmed in the step page)

The influence of the key-trig reset parameter

The LFOs behave differently whether the reset parameter is set to on or off.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 19

Rst = on

When set to on, the phase of the LFO will be set to the phase programmed with the phase parameter
when the voice is trigged by a key.

If delay is applied, then it will reset to this phase value when the delay time has elapsed.

Rst = off

When set to off, the phase is never reset to any value, the LFOs are free-running, however the phase
parameter now controls the phase offset between the 8 voices.

Example: if the phase is set to 90°, voice 2 and voice 1 will have their phase offset by 90°. Same for
voice 3 and voice 2. Etc… So if the phase is set to 0, you now have locked free running LFOs.

Note: This phase relationship will be true unless you modulate the LFO speed in the modulation
matrix. If you applied modulation and removed it, you can resync the LFOs either by:

• sending a MIDI start command

• turning the phase parameter encoders

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 20

The 8-step LFO sequence | Step

This page is slightly different from the others:

>>> +8 0 +25 +51 len

-5 -59 +44 +53 8

To program a sequence:

• Use encoder 1 to select the 4 active steps to be edited (marked with >>>)

• Encoder 2 to 5 will set the 4 active step values.

• Encoder 6 sets the length of the sequence.

Remember that, to be active, one (or several) LFO(s) shape must be set to ‘stp’ for the sequence to
have an effect.

And you also need to set a modulation destination amount different from 0 for this LFO in the
matrix too to hear the effect of the sequence on the sound.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 21

The modulation matrix | MATRIX

This is where things can start to get real fun… The matrix contains 6 patch cords. Each patch cord
allows you to modulate a parameter (a modulation destination) with a modulation source, and set
the amount of modulation.

The 6 patch cords are spread on 3 pages, so that’s 2 patch cords per page.

Patch 1 Patch 2

vel>cut +12 lfo3>pan +32

As you can see, you have access to the modulation source, modulation destination and modulation
amount, for both patches at the same time.

Some sources are bipolar (lfo’s, rnd), other unipolar (envelopes, velocity, …).

Modulation amount is bipolar, meaning you can reverse the modulation source amount by setting a
negative number. On lfo’s, this reverse the phase for example.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 22

Before using the matrix

Without even using the matrix, the P6 has some fixed modulation assignments:

• ENV1 is routed to the AMP VCA

• ENV2 is routed to filter cutoff

• ENV3 is routed to OSC2 shape

• LFO1 is routed to OSC1 shape

• LFO2 is routed to filter cutoff

Look at the OSC1, OSC2 and Filter page to set these modulation amount.

This means that if you want to modulate the filter cutoff by a LFO, the first best candidate is LFO2,
as it is already routed to the filter cutoff, it does not “eat” a modulation slot.

Some more are available in the Voice and Global pages (glide, pitch bend, detune).

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 23

Scalers & Lag | Scaler

Scalers allow you to scale the amount of a modulation source (for example scaling ENV1 with note
velocity will change the volume of the note according to its velocity).

The lag operator will lowpass filter a modulation source. It can be used to smooth a source, for
example a square LFO.

Scalers 1&2

Scaler1 Scaler2
mod>lfo2 +63 vel>env1 +32

You have access to scalers source, destination and amount, like the modulation matrix page.

Scaler 3 & Lag

Scaler1 LAG src amt
env3>lfo2 -20 lfo3 100

Here you can set scaler 3 source, destination and amount, as well as the lag source and amount.

About the scaler amount

To better understand what the scaler is doing, let’s take an example: say you scale LFO2 with
modulation wheel and LFO2 is routed to filter cutoff with a value of +40 in the filter page.

If you set the scaler amount to max (+63):
When modulation is set to max, LFO2 will change the filter cutoff, the maximum amount being set
in Filter page, that is +40
When modulation wheel is set to 0, LFO2 will have no effect on filter cutoff

Now, what does happen if you set the scaler amount to 50% (+32)
When modulation is set to max, LFO2 will change the filter cutoff, the maximum amount being set
in Filter page, that is +40
But when modulation wheel is set to 0, LFO2 WILL have an effect on Filter cutoff, the more the
scaler amount, the less the effect, here at 50% of +40, which is +20.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 24

In fact, the scaler amount allows you to set a minimum value for the scaler destination when the
source is set to its minimum value. Sounds scary? Try them by yourself, they’re easier than you
may think and they’re the ideal way to add velocity or aftertouch expression to your patches.

The pattern arpeggiator | ARP

On top of its powerful synthesis capabilities, the Micromonsta is equipped with quite a powerful
arpeggiator engine, capable from classic to more esoteric polyphonic arpeggios.

The arp page

The first page is the classic side of the arpeggio

ARPG stl gat oct spd lat
off up 64 2 1/8 off

• ARPG arp on/off

• stl arp style (up, triplet up, down, triplet down, up & down, random, as played)

• gate gate time

• oct octave spread (0 to 3)

• spd arp speed

• lat keyboard latch

The arp pattern sequence edit page

This is where you can add spice to your arpeggio sequence.
You access this page from the arp page by pressing a 2nd time on the ARP button.

[<1c1]c1<c1c1<c1c8 len

-/&_&-_&x_&_&x_&Xx 16

This page can be quite intimidating, this is by far the most complex page of the whole synth, but it’s
quite powerful once you get into it.

In this page, encoder 1 allows you to select a block of 4 steps to edit.
Encoder 2 to 5 allow you to edit those 4 steps.
Encoder 6 allow you to set the length of the sequence.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 26

The 1st line

The first line is where you actually enters notes or events.

Here are the possible events:

• a arp note

• < lowest note minus 1 octave

• 1 to 8 a specific note within the chord you play (low to high)

• > highest note plus 1 octave

• c chord

The 2nd line

The 2nd line allows you to edit rhythm and accent. Essentially, it controls the note velocity and gate
time.

Here are the possible events:

• x velocity: note | gate: arp setting

• X velocity: full | gate: arp setting

• _ velocity: note | gate: 100% (tie)

• / velocity: full | gate: 100% (tie + accent)

• & extends the previous step (adds 1 step to gate time)

• o rest – or silence if you prefer

Tip 1: if you don’t want to bother with that and only use the arp like a classic arp, set length to 1,
and 1st step note to to a and rhythm to x and you’re done.

Tip 2: if you set the voice mode to m2 (legato mode), a step set to _ or / will slide to the next step if
it is different from a rest and if glide is different than 0. Great for 303-ish mono sequences.

Audiothingies Micromonsta user manual 27

The chorder | Chord

The chorder can generate up to 4-note chords within a key/scale, that is to say it can generate 3
notes in addition to the note you play.

CHRD key scl iv1 iv2 iv3
on D min +3 +5 +7

• CHRD on/off switch

• key base key for chord generation

• scl scale (major, minor, harmonic minor)

• iv2 2nd note to add to the base note (from 1 octave down to 2 octaves up)

• iv3 3rd note to add to the base note

• iv4 4th note to add to the base note

Effects | FX

The effect section contains different algorithm, each with its own set of parameters.
