The parameters available in the Monomachine are considerably more limited than those in the SidStation, employing an interface editable in more conventional terms than the SID's wavetable approach. Saw, triangle, pulse, mixed and noise waveforms are available, and the sounds produced tend to be sharp-edged and gritty in character.

The
Monomachine offers five different synthesis engines called SID, VO, FM+, SuperWave, and DigiPro. It also offers a variety of audio effects, which can be applied both to the internally generated voices and to external sources using the two audio inputs. The sequencer offers six tracks programmable

Elektron refer to as a "parameter locks", where each sequencer step can be associated with a snapshot of all the editable parameters for a track. Signals can be routed externally to three stereo or six mono outputs.

Ensemble resembles the SuperWave Ensemble machine, but is built for use with the fixed DigiPro waveforms or those loaded by the user. The Doubledraw and Ensemble machines are only available on the MkII.
