My fork of TUS's Gearmulator project, where I add emulations of Elektron's Machinedrum and Monomachine.

I'm not affiliated with TUS or Elektron. Don't bug them for support :)

There is a Discord channel here at #gearmulator-development. Do NOT discuss firmware or ROMs in Discord. DO NOT ask us for the .bin files / firmware! They're under Elektron's copyright. This emulator is for people who own the original hardware.

Features

• Key chording / p-locks: shift-click one or more buttons to hold them down until you release the shift key.
• Secondary functions: rather than shift-click Function and another button, you can just click the secondary function text label.
• Encoder clicking: Alt/Option-click a DATA ENTRY encoder to press it, or Alt/Option-drag to press and turn. With a trig held, pressing its parameter's encoder toggles that parameter lock. This applies to encoders A–H, not LEVEL or SOUND SELECTION.
• Send SysEx File under the right click menu to send a .syx file to the machine. The menu shows transfer progress and lets you cancel. Follow the machine's normal receive procedure.
• Panel look and feel: adjust encoder-drag and mouse-wheel sensitivity in settings. An experimental crisp LCD/panel rendering option is also available.
• Audio inputs and outputs: route host audio to the machine's input effects or sampling functions. Additional output pairs are available in a multi-output VST3 host; the standalone apps use stereo output.

Implementation references

• TurboMIDI negotiation: a worked exchange, firmware observations, and Gearmulator sender policy.

Thanks to the upstream Gearmulator contributors whose work makes this fork possible. See the upstream README for the original project overview.
