INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new TC Electronic MONE or MONE XL unit. The MONE is a Dual Engine Multi-effects Processor, focusing mainly on high quality Reverbs. TheMONE can be used for a number of purposes due to flexible routing of the two Engines and morethan 20 TC algorithms. Do you want two independent Reverbs, controlled from separate Auxiliarysends? Select the Dual Input Routing plus two Reverbs, and you are up and running. Do you wanta compressor in front of a Delay? Select the Serial Routing, a Compressor and a Delay. You caneven tap the Delay time on the TAP key. Or maybe you just want stick with that one Routing, nomatter the preset? Simply use the Routing Lock function to avoid routing changes at preset change.It is really as easy as that, go ahead and tweak some keys and knobs. We hope you have as muchpleasure using the MONE as we had making it.

Please note that this manual covers both the MOne and the MOne XL. Both products will ingeneral be referred to as MOne. When a feature relevant only for the XL version iscovered, this will be marked with XL only.

I&O SETUP

I/O SetupBasic operation Press the I/O SETUP key to enter the global

setup parameters of the MONE. Use the ARROW keys to select parameters

and the CONTROL wheel to changeparameter values.

All changes in the I/O Setup menu areinstantly effective.

Input SourceAnalogSelect the Source parameter using theARROW keys.The source display arrow is lit. Dial theCONTROL wheel to select between Analog orDigital. When "Analog" is selected MONEautomatically defaults to the internal 44.1kHzclock as Sample Rate and analog Input is lit inthe display.

DigitalWhen "Digital" is selected the MONE attemptsto lock to the S/PDIF Input. The incoming clockwill be displayed by the 44.1 or 48kHz displayicons and the Digital In icon will be lit. Duringthe lock-up period the Digital In icon will beblinking indicating none or unacceptable clock,and the Outputs are muted. When "lock" isachieved the matching Clock Rate icon is lit,and the Outputs are un-muted.

ANLGLEFT (MONE XL only)With this selection analog Input type isselected and the Left XLR Input connectormust be used.

ClockAnalog InputWhen Input source is analog the followingSample Rates are available:Internal 44.1kHz: The MONE runs at

internal 44.1kHz.Internal 48kHz: The MONE runs at

internal 48kHz.Digital: The MONE locks to the

incoming Digital clock.

Digital InputWhen Input Source is digital the MONEfollowing Sample Rates are available:Internal 44.1kHz: The MONE runs at

internal 44.1kHz.

Internal 48kHz: The MONE runs at internal 48kHz.

Digital: The MONE locks to the incoming Digital clock.

Please note that when using internalclock with external digital audio, theincoming digital audio must be in syncwith the MONE internal clock in orderto avoid slip-samples.

***Rate Mismatch**** This Error message will occur in thedisplay if the MONE detectsslipsamples. Typically this problem

only occurs in very special clock setups e.g. ifthe MONE is running via internal clock, whileprocessing audio from the Digital Input. If theincoming clock and the internal clock do notmatch the MONE will display the above written error message.

Out Range Range: 2dBu, 8dBu, 14dBu and 20dBu.Sets the maximum Gain range of the analogOutput stage.

Out levelRange: 0 to Off (-100dB) in 1dB increments.Controlling the overall digital/analog Outputlevel.

Digital In GainSets the digital Input level. This level onlyaffects the digital level.

DitherGoing from one type of bit resolution to alower, e.g. from 24 bit to 16 bit, you actuallyloose 8 bits of information. The process of cutting off bits is calledtruncation and it introduces digital distortion oflow level signals, due to the lack of completesignal information. To compensate for this,dither must be applied. Dither is a smallamount of filtered noise that generatesrandomization at the noise floor, ensuring aless distorted low level signal. Dithering is relevant only on digital Outputsand it is always the receiving device thatdetermines the number of bits you must ditherto. A CDR or a DAT recorder should normallybe dithered to 16 bit.

MOne XLFactory bank 1-100: Controller #0=0Factory bank 101-200: Controller #0=1User bank 1-100: Controller #0=2

Routing LockLocks the current Routing, meaning that thecurrent selected routing will act as a globalrouting and that preset routings will not takeeffect when presets are recalled.

Tap UnitSelects whether the Tapped tempo in the Tapmenu should be displayed in ms (milliseconds)or BPM (Beats Per Minute).

Bypass ModeThere are three different Bypass modes:

0% MixThe Input signal is passed directly to theOutput.

FX Input Shuts off the Engine Input in order to let theeffect "ring out", but leaves the same amountof dry signal through the unit.

FX OutputShuts off the Engine Output in order to kill theFX instantaneously, but leave the sameamount of dry signal coming through.

ROUTINGS

The Routing Menu sets the Routing of thetwo Engines. When the Routing menu isentered, the arrow in the Routing displayicon is lit. Routings are stored with presets,but it is also possible to keep a lockedglobal routing meaning that presetroutings do not take effect. This is set inthe Utility menu.

Basic operation Press the ROUTING key to enter the

Routing display. Use the CONTROL wheel to select routing.

The ENTER key is now blinking. Press ENTER to activate the selected

routing.

The Parallel routing sums left/right Inputs, andboth Engines are fed with the exact samesignal. As illustrated the unprocessed drysignal is mixed with the processed signal intotwo channels via the Mix parameter.

EFFECT BALControls the balance between the two EnginesFX Outputs.

MIXControls the amount of dry signal passedaround the two Engines. Dry signal is passedin stereo.

The Parallel routing is perfect whenyou want to add two differenteffects to the same source.

Example: You need a Chorus and a Reverb on the sameguitar track. Select the Chorus in Engine 1, theReverb in Engine 2 and the Parallel Routing.Now you have your two effects side by side,not influencing each other.

This is the routing to use if you wish to use theMONE as two independent effectsprocessors. Left Input is sent to Engine 1 andright Input is sent to Engine 2. The four FXOutputs are summed to two channels.


MIXControls the amount of dry signal passedaround the two Engines. Dry signal is passedin mono. Set MIX fully clockwise when usingthe MONE in a send/return setup.

Example:Feed the two MONE Engines with signal frome.g. two separate Aux.s from your mixer.Connect the MONE L/R Output to a stereoL/R return on your mixer.You are now using the two Engines in theMONE as separate stereo effects with acommon 2 channel Output.

Parallel-SerialThe Parallel-Serial routing is similar to theDual Input routing except for one thing: TheOutput of Engine 1 can be fed back to Engine2's Input. This enables you to e.g. add reverbto the repeats of a delay. The amount of signalthat is fed to Engine 2 is controlled by the Eng2 Crossfeed parameter. The Eng 2 Crossfeedparameter is found in the Routing menu and ispart of the preset.


MIXControls the amount of dry signal passedaround the two Engines. Dry signal is passedin mono.

Eng2 FeedControls the amount of signal passed from theOutput of Eng 1 to the Input of Eng 2. Thisparameter is only active in the Parallel-Serialrouting.

The Parallel-Serial can be usedwhen you want separate Inputs onthe two Engines, but still want thetwo effects to be partially combined.

Example: You have a long Delay running in Engine 1,and a large Hall Reverb on Engine 2. Botheffects are used for the lead vocal. The level ofthe two effects are determined by twoindependent auxiliary sends from your mixingconsole. The repeats from the Delay seamskind of dry when compared the reverberatedvocal, so now you bleed a bit of the Delayrepeats from Engine 1 into the Reverb inEngine 2 by turning up the Eng 2 Feedparameter. Now both the Vocal and the Delayrepeats are reverberated.

EFFECT BALControls the level of dry signal passed aroundEngine 2. Please note that the "Dry" signal thatpasses Eng 2 is picked up after Engine 1. This makes it possible to emulate two standalone effects in a serial setup. Dry signal ispassed in stereo.

Use the Serial mode when youwant to combine the Engines toone effect.

Example: Select the De-esser in Engine 1, and a brightReverb in Engine 2. The De-esser will nowsuppress the Sss sounds of a vocal, enablingyou to use bright and open Reverbs withoutgetting too much sibilance.

In the Stereo Linked Routing the Enginesperform the exact same effect withsynchronized parameter settings. Left I/O are used for Engine 1, Right I/O areused for Engine 2. When switching to StereoLinked Routing the Engine 1 settings areforced into Engine 2.

EFFECT BAL.Controls the balance between the two EnginesFX Outputs.

MIXControls the amount of dry signal passedaround the two Engines. Dry signal is passedin stereo.

The Stereo Linked routing can beused for a true stereo application.

Example: Select the Compressor and insert the MONEon a sub- group on your mixing console. Nowyou have a true stereo compressor withidentical settings, and you only have to editone Engine to change the settings of bothchannels.

In the Dual Mono routing, the two Engines aretotally independent, meaning mono in/monoout of each Engine. Left I/O are used for Engine 1, Right I/O areused for Engine 2.

EFFECT BAL.Controls the balance between the two EnginesFX Outputs.

MIXControls the amount of dry signal passedaround the two Engines. Dry signal is passedindependently for the two channels.

Dual Mono is a great routing forindependent Mono use. Thisenables you to use the two Enginesfor two totally different purposes.

Example: You need a Tremolo and an EQ for insertingon two different channels. Connect the first channel to Left In/Out of theMONE, and the second channel to rightIn/Out, select the Tremolo and the EQ, andyou are up and running.

The Reverbs Most of the Reverbs in the MONE contain twodifferent parts; the Reflections and the Tail. The Reflections, or Early Reflections,

simulate the first reflections that are heard.In real life, this is the part of a Reverb thatdefines the size and character of the room.

The other part of the Reverb is known asthe Reverb Tail or the diffused field. Thesereflections are so complex and disorderedthat you can no longer determine the actual direction of the original source.

In conjunction the two parts create the naturalsound of an environment, however in real lifethe balance between these two parts of aReverb may vary quite a bit. Therefore weprovided controls that allow you to change thelevel, color and duration or size of the two.Please try to experiment with the two parts ofthe Reverbs, and we guarantee that you willhear some astonishing effects.

HallDecayRange: 0.02s - 20secThe Decay parameter determines the length ofthe Reverb Tail. The length is defined as thetime it takes for the Reverb Tail to decayapproximately 60dB.

PredelayRange: 0 - 100msA short delay placed between the EarlyReflections and the Tail of the reverb. By usingpredelay the source material is kept clear andundisturbed by the more diffuse reverb tail.

Try to turn down the Reflect Levelin order to achieve the traditionalslapback effect on the ReverbTail.

SizeRange: Small - Medium - Large - XL (XL-Only)This parameter determines the size of theEarly Reflection pattern. Try experimentingwith the different sizes to hear what suits yoursource material best.

High CutRange: 501.2Hz - 20kHzRolls off high frequencies with a slope of6dB/octave. Use this to remove sibilance in the Reverb.

Try experimenting with thedifference in removing highfrequencies using the High Cut andthe High Color parameters.

High ColorRange: -50 - +50This parameter adjusts the Decay time in theupper frequency spectra. By decreasing theupper frequency Decay time you removesibilance while preserving the openness of theReverb.

PITCH - DETUNE & PITCH SHIFT

Pitch DetunePitch Detune is similar to the Pitch algorithmmeaning that a fixed voice is added to thesignal. However the range in a Detunealgorithm is considerably lower and is oftenused to create a wide sound as opposed to asecond voice. By using approx. 5-10 cent of Detune amountyou will get a chorus sounding effect withoutthe modulating/swirling motion that is socharacteristic for the chorus, but in somecases disturbs the clarity of the sound.

DYNAMICS - COMPRESSOR & LIMITER

CompressorA compressor is meant to reduce the dynamiccontent of the Input signal and thereby keepthe signal at a more constant level.

ThresholdRange: -60 - 0dBWhen the Input signal exceeds the Thresholdthe Compressor will be activated. So, thelower the Threshold the more compression youwill get.

RatioRange: Off - inf: 1The Ratio of the gain reduction. On theillustration this is the angle of the line abovethe Threshold point.Example. If the Ratio is set to 4:1 it means thatfor every 4dB the Input level rises above theset Threshold only one dB is Output.

Knee ModeRange: Soft or HardThe Knee mode sets the bending point of theCompressor. When Soft knee mode isselected, the Compressor will gradually reachthe Ratio, while Hard knee mode will causethe Compressor to go directly from nocompression to the specified Ratio.

Release Range: 10 - 100dB/sec.Determines the time the Compressor uses toreach a gain reduction of 1:1 (no reduction)once the Input signal has dropped below theThreshold.

GainRange: -100 - +30dBUse the Gain parameter to compensate forunwanted gain reduction caused by heavycompression.

FX LevelRange: 0 - 100%The Output level of the Compressor

LimiterA Limiter can be conceived as a compressorwith a high Ratio setting. It is primarily used toprevent fullscale overloads. A fullscaleoverload means hitting 0dBFS, which is theabsolute max in the digital domain, and itcauses a clipped and distorted signal.

ThresholdRange: -60dB - 0dBWhen the Input signal exceeds the Thresholdthe Limiter will be activated. So, the lower theThreshold the morelimiting you will get.

RatioRange: Off - inf: 1The Ratio of the gain reduction. On theillustration it is the angle of the line above theThreshold point.Example. If the Ratio is set to 4:1 it means thatfor every 4dB the Input level rises above theset Threshold only 1dB is output.

AttackRange: 0.3ms - 100msThe time it takes for the Limiter to reach thegain reduction specified by the Ratioparameter when the signal is above the setThreshold.

ReleaseRange: 20ms - 7.0 secRelease is the time that the Limiter uses torelease the gain reduction when the signalexceeds the Threshold.

GainRange: -100dB - 30dBUse the Gain parameter to compensate forunwanted gain reduction caused by heavylimiting.

FX LevelRange: 0 - 100%The Output level of the Limiter.

34

DYNAMICS - GATE/EXPANDER

GateA Gate is also known as a downwardexpander. Meaning that when the signal dropsbelow a set Threshold the gate will close andthereby mute the signal. This is especiallyuseful when trying to remove unwantedbackground noise from source material that isonly periodically present. This can be anythingfrom vocal tracks to noisy guitar-amps. Youcan even use it on drums to add a morepercussive feeling to the track.

ThresholdRange: -60 - 0dBWhen the Input signal falls below theThreshold, the Gate starts working. Thismeans that the higher Threshold the moregating you will get.

RatioRange: Off - Inf:1This is the Ratio of the gain reduction. If theRatio is set to 4:1 it means that for every 1dBthe Input signal decreases, the Output willdecrease by 4dB.When the Ratio is set to Infinite:1, it meansthat when the Input signal falls below theThreshold, the Output is turned all the waydown.

AttackRange: 0.5 - 100msThe Attack time is the fallback time that theGate uses to reach the gain reductionspecified by the Ratio parameter. Example: If the Input signal suddenly drops4dB below Threshold in no time, with the Ratioset to 4:1 and the Attack set to 20ms, theMONE will use 20ms to reach a total gainreduction of 16dB.

ReleaseRange: 20ms - 7 sec.Release is the time that the Gate uses torelease the gain reduction when the signalexceeds the Threshold.

FX LevRange: 0 - 100%The Output level of the Gate.

35

DYNAMICS - DE-ESSER

De-esserA De-esser is used to remove sibilant soundsfrom various instruments - especially voices.To remove only the unwanted (mostsignificant) esses a De-esser must workdynamically. It could therefore be compared toCompressor working on a specific frequencyarea only. A dynamic filter ensures that the De-esser only reduces the high frequencies whenthey are too loud.

ThresholdRange: -60dB - 0dBWhen the Input level for the specifiedfrequency area exceeds this level the De-esser will be activated.

RatioRange: Off - inf:1The Ratio of the gain reduction in the specifiedfrequency area.

FrequencyRange: 1kHz - 20kHzSets the center frequency for the area in whichthe De-esser should work.

AttackRange: 0.5 - 50msThe Attack time is the response time that theDe-esser uses to reach the gain reductionspecified by the Ratio parameter.Example: If the Input signal suddenlyincreases to 4dB above Threshold with theRatio set to 4:1 and the Attack set to 20ms, theDe-esser will use 20ms to reach the gainreduction of 3dB.

ReleaseRange: 20ms - 7 sec.Release is the fallback time of the De-esser,after the signal drops below the Threshold.

FX LevRange: -100 - 0dBThe Output level of the De-esser.

36

TREMOLO - HARD & SOFT
