README from GitHub, GPL-3.0
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.
Link to a short demo on Youtube:
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
.syxfile 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.

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