The standard functionalities such as clip launch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to those features, MonoLive can do a little bit more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support of up to 5 return tracks for bus effects<\/li>\n<li>Support of up to 7 FX tracks for modulation of the audio stream<\/li>\n<li>Transposition up\/down<\/li>\n<li>Smooth transition of send values and EQ settings over time.<\/li>\n<li>Clip overview mode to support up to 49 tracks with 64 scenes<\/li>\n<li>MIDI overview mode to support MIDI clips over 4 octaves and 64 steps<\/li>\n<li>Optional Tempo tilt<\/li>\n<li>MIDI humanisation mode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The documentation is included with the devices, just download below and start pushing some buttons.
