Obsessing over this, for some reason.

#53

I ordered one yesterday. Hope that it comes in a resonably short time. Might not have a job soon and will be making music all the time with this. Cant wait to see what the Digitone can do to this thing

After watching the Perfect Circuit demo on YouTube, and a few other vids, showing the 0I/IV used with the Digitone and Digitakt, this has become high up on my list of future purchases. I think it would be an awesome addition to my DN, DT, and AHMKII. I’m basically down to this, Roland Tr-08 boutique (I can’t help how much I love that little replica) and a Kilpatrick Carbon to sequence any of my synths/drum machines/grooveboxes ( made the mistake of grabbing a BSP, and I’m having all kinds of buggy issues with the KeyStep , just gonna use my DT and MPC One to sequence my setups) I absolutely love this machine, from the drum sounds in the demos, to the overall look of it. I can definitely see a lot of the synth patches I use in the DN going really well with the drum sounds that this puts out.

What do you think, this vs michigan synthworks syncussion euro clone?

#57

I’ve been trying to pick between this and an MFB 301 Pro as a dedicated drum buddy for my Digitone. It’s pretty tricky to compare them.

#58

for something rather different.

I’ve had an MFB 301 Pro. Don’t get one. You’ll tire of it. I promise.

It’s cool and all. But you’ll wear it out pretty quickly.

Can say I’ve only played with mine a little bit and it as a certain Kazakhstan patriot would say, "Very nice. "

FMing voices together to make weird morphing bass drums is very “my wife.”

Part 2 is solid. Great sounds, nice mix, good composition.

#64

Second jam is a nice little thing!

#65

Also nice from the same person:

And Japan:


And some dub:

The more I listen to demos of this machine - and I am the one who shared the Perfect Circuit video a few weeks ago in this thread - the more I feel like it’s too vanilla. Too tame. It doesn’t get wild like a DFAM or Pulsar. Though I do love the amount of controls per drum and that it’s knob per function.

Its interesting for sure. I was keen until the Model:cycles came out. Where I live the 01/IV and the Cycles cost the same so… yeah, 4 voice no sequencer no fx, vs 6 voice with sequencer and fx. No brainer for me.

kinda where I’m at as well. I already had stuff that crossed the same sonic territory anyway, so I wan’t sure. then M:C came out… has a sequencer and plocks, so kinda kills it in many ways. still…all analog style interface is nothing to be sneezed at. I’d love to play with one some day but I’m OK where I’m at right now.

Yep. Also I noted the hihat voices on the 01/IV are digital, not analogue.
I already have a bunch of analogue gear (DFAM among them) so for me, the unusual sounding Cycles was more appealing.

they just cover a lot of the same territory sonically. I have the DRM1, Syncussion and DFAM. Model:Cycles was deemed OK because it does other stuff than just crazy drum sounds, and it’s more adventurous with the Elektron sequencer. with all that, the 01/IV is simply overkill. but again, still wanna spend some time with it…

Just went back to @Ess’ video again, so great - realised it sounds a bit like an MC202.
