Product reviews
A clear bargain
This pack is incredible. With a few clicks the tracks fit better and are more powerful. This is amazong work. The whole pack and for what it can do a bargain!!!
Nothing
Mono
I Always love using mfl devices for so many reasons. I have both curves bundle and counsel. I like them both. I use them on every project. So far counsel im using more.
There are many VSTs that do a similar job of Curves EQ. However, at this price, considering the integration with Live, and the fact that you also get the Optocomp and the Tape, this is a bargain.
This is another great pack from Monomono and I picked it up mainly for Curves. However, after trying the other two plugins on a few projects, I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality here as well.
Another must have and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Great job!
Great work. using them in my projects
great work. amazing sound quality. use it in every project.
Volume One by Monomono
Volume ONE by Monomono brings together the first three releases from Monomono in one bargain pack!!
OPTOCOMP
Optocomp is a vintage-inspired compressor, infused with the warm character of classic gear like the LA-2A. Uniquely designed for Max for Live, it merges analog nuances with digital precision.
Employing a feedback design, Optocomp “listens” and adjusts for smooth, musical compression. Its program-dependent nature automatically fine-tunes attack and release based on the input, ensuring optimal results on everything from individual instruments to full mixes.
- Easy to set up: Just push the input to get more compression and makeup with the Output gain. Everything else is taken care of.
- Vintage Tone: Emulates renowned optical compressors.
- Analog Output Stage: Capture the magic of transformer and tube saturation.
- Flexible Controls: High-pass sidechain, channel summing for stereo operation, and blend dial for parallel compression.
CURVES EQ
Curves EQ encapsulates the spirit of iconic Pultec EQ design, complemented with tools for modern production demands. Whether you’re shaping individual tracks, busses, or the entire mix, Curves EQ ensures great sound with minimal effort.
- Drawing from the Pultec EQP-1A3’s unique circuitry, Curves EQ captures its essence in a fresh, modern design.
- Offers simultaneous low-frequency boost and cut, providing a distinctive frequency curve reminiscent of classic hardware.
- Toggle between a warm, vintage-like transformer output sound and a clear, contemporary output stage.
- Incorporates a high-pass filter for precise low-frequency sculpting.
- Achieve the desired warmth with adjustable saturation levels, or opt for a clean, transparent signal.
Curves EQ – a Max for Live device that bridges inspired historical EQ nuances with today’s production essentials.
TAPE
Tape is a versatile colourbox, inspired by the classic Studer tape decks. It captures the spirit and character of tape recordings in a convenient package for modern sonic explorations.
- Three tape decks modeled after famous studio decks with two playback speed options. Each deck has a unique character — saturation curves and authentic frequency responses.
- Three tape models based on formulations with unique compression and saturation curves
- Tape hiss profile unique to each desk and tape with adjustable level
- Authentic deck and tape wear algorithms

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
