CUTTING
EDGE TECHNOLOGY
TC Electronic is renowned as a manufacturer of cutting edge
technology for the professional Audio Industry. Once again TC’s
engineers have succeeded in developing a Dual Engine Multi-effects
processor which will revolutionize the way you work with your
effects!
AFFORDABILITY
The M-One comes with Dual Engine structure, 1/4" balanced
jack I/Os, S/PDIF Digital I/O (24 bit), 44.1-48kHz internal
processing, various Routing options and more than 20 high quality
algorithms. The introduction of M-One also adds a brand new
feature to TCґs Ultimate Sound Machines: Affordability!
FLEXIBILITY
Use the M-One’s Dual Engine to run two of the best sounding
reverbs or other quality effects simultaneously without
compromising sound. The Easy Parameter Level gives you more
flexibility to create cool effects and control of all important
parameters right at your fingertip.
QUALITY REVERBS
The M-One gives you a wide range of high quality reverbs from the
classic Halls and Rooms to new and grainy snare reverbs such as
Live and Plate. Use the M-One’s many high quality reverbs to
create sound reflections in various environments. Now you can add
different levels of depth to your source material, easily.
DUAL SEND RETURN
Use the M-One Engines in the Dual Send/Return setup, and get two
independent effects processors. Connect one Auxiliary to the Left
Input of the M-One, and a second to the Right input. The stereo
Output of the two Engines are now mixed internally, and can be
returned to a single stereo effects return on your mixing console,
giving you two full blown stereo effects simultaneously. |

REVERBS
|
HALL
These classic style reverbs simulate the reverberation of very
large rooms with very high ceilings. They have unobtrusive
reflections with a density and naturalness you have only been
dreaming about, until now. The Hall reverbs are especially good
with vocal, acoustic guitar and piano.
ROOM
TC Electronic’s famous Room reverbs generate a vast array of
room settings with different sizes and surfaces. The Room reverbs
make your music come alive by adding ultimate realism and texture
to your mix.
LIVE
The Live algorithms are the grainy type of reverbs known as the
typical 1980s live reverbs. Use these reverbs, when cutting
through any PA system.
PLATES 1 & 2
The most basic sounding reverbs in the M-One are the "non-digital"mechanical
sounding ones, which make metal plates superflous: Create the
artificial reflections typically found on "old mechanical"
reverbs! Plates 1 & 2 are especially good on drums and vocal
tracks. |

USEFUL
ALGORITHMS
|
Bring
new life to your mixes with TC's unique Compressor and Limiter
algorithms. You can add incredible Delays, wide Chorus or enhance
the details of your source material with the Parametric Equalizers.
The M-One has even more algorithms, such as Flanger, Pitch, Gate,
Expander, De-esser, Tremolo and Phaser. All the algorithms are in
the well known TC Electronic sound quality. Do not waste time
programming- experiment with the many reverbs of the M-One to hear
which setting suits your source material best. |

|
PRESETS
|
The
M-One comes loaded with 100 high-grade Factory presets, covering
almost any imaginable application. On top of that the M-One can
store up to 100 of your favorite presets in the User bank. When
satisfied with your preset you just hit the STORE key to save it.
It is so simple, that you almost forget that you are actually
making presets! In short, the M-One gives you access to all the
tools you need, whenever you want to create quality effects e.g.
Modulation- and Pitch effects as well as EQ, De-esser and Dynamics! |
|
|
MIDI
SECTION
|
All
effect parameters can be accessed via standard MIDI controllers
and allows real-time control and automation with virtually any
sequencer or other MIDI devices. You can also use MIDI to dump
& save the entire user bank to a MIDI sequencer. Additionally,
the TAP function of the M-One can be locked to the incoming MIDI
clock. |
|
|
ROUTINGS
|
The
powerful Dual Engine structure of the M-One gives you flexible
routing of the two Engines. You can easily run two full-blown
reverbs simultaneously without loosing the power and integrity of
your original tone. Select any of the 6 different routing
possiblilities to match your specific requirements. |
|
SERIAL
In the Serial routing the signal will always pass Engine 1 before
Engine 2. This can be very useful for you, when you want to
combine the two Engines to one effect, e.g. select the De-esser in
Engine 1, and a bright reverb in Engine 2. By doing this, the
De-esser will suppress the “sss” sound of the vocal, enabling
you to use bright and open reverbs without getting too much
sibilance. |
|
PARALLEL/SERIAL
Use this routing option, when you want separate Inputs on the two
engines but still want the two effects to be partially combined.
You can have e.g. a long delay running in Engine 1 and a large
Hall reverb on Engine 2, both effects used for lead vocal. The
repeats from the Delay are dry compared to the reverberated vocal.
To solve this, you just bleed a bit of the Delay repeats from
Engine 1 into the reverb in Engine 2 by turning up the Engine 2
Feed parameter. Now both the Vocal and the Delay repeats are
reverberated! |
|
DUAL
SEND RETURN
This is the optimal choice if you want to use the M-One as two
independent effects processors! All you have to do is send left
Input to the M-One’s Engine 1 and right Input to Engine 2 from
two separate Auxiliaries from you mixer. Then connect M-One’s
Output to a stereo return channel. The two effects are being
summed to two channels. You are now using the M-One as two
separate stereo effects with a common two channel Output. |

RESET
THE MIDI PORT IN YOUR M-ONE!
|
Dear
M-One Owner
During the test of the M-Ones, we used the MIDI connectors to
perform various tests, and it appeared that one of the connectors
was performing at a lower speed. When making ekstra tests of the
first M-Ones, this result was confirmed meaning that the MIDI port
has unfortunately been set to a wrong speed.
To make your M-One's MIDI port fully functional, you just have to
reset the MIDI port in your M-One.
WHAT TO DO
The "System Parameter reset", restore the factory
defaults in the I/O and Utility menu's.
The "System Parameter reset" does NOT erase any presets.
- Press and hold the ENTER key
during power up
- Dial the CONTROL wheel until the
display reads "Reset sys param"
- Press the ENTER key to confirm
- After 2 seconds, the display
reads "Clear/Reset done"
- Power off - On
- The display reads "Kernel
cleared" during the first power up
Your M-One System is now reset and the MIDI port is fully
functional.
We apologize for the inconvenience you might have had.
