The Elektron Monomachine is a synthesizer and music sequencer by Elektron. The Monomachine was available as SFX-60 model, which is a desktop sound module, and was available as the SFX-6 model, which has a keyboard and a joystick controller. During the last quarter of 2007 Elektron released the SFX-60 MkII, which is a revision providing higher signal-to-noise ratio, a slimmer design and the ability to add user waveforms, introduced with OS 1.20 in July 2008.

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[nb 1] programmable either by playing in real time or via a step input method similar to classic drum machines and sequenced synthesizers. The sequencer also features what 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.
