Yeah! Glad to hear this worked out for you!

At the moment when using an external sequencer to trigger sounds from the Model:Cycles, the Chance parameter does absolutely nothing. It would be very cool if it would apply the selected probability to any incoming trigs, essentially filtering them.

- Being able to undo live parameter changes would be nice. I know you can do it if you make a temp save before going into live mode, I just sometime forget sometimes, want to redo it and then have to re-enter the triggers which is a shame sometime because i’ll get a good sequence going which I can’t replicate again…
- Mentioned before but definitely scales.
- Fixing the levels on the preset sounds, some are seriously loud which can make cycling through them unpleasent.
- This one might be a long shot but a compressor or something which allows you to alter the sound of tracks from the sound of different tracks.
Had a few others I can’t remember right now…

Been looking at the Erica Synths Code Source module lately.
Something like that as a Model:Cycles machine would be awesome.

I’d love a few more melodic machines.
acid (202, 303 ish),
pads, strings kinda thing.

Can we get the LFO mode from the front panel? I feel like that is a very doable feature request.

Yeh i want a Pittsburgh Modular DNA as an engine…
Dual oscillator, selectable waveforms with balance control, a selection of different phase distortion and FM modes to decide how those oscillators interact, and morphable FM/phase distortion amount…its nasty…
…only trouble is MC being mono, devs might have to implement a way to use a neighbouring track for the pitch of the second oscillator…but im sure it would be possible…

Multiple sustain levels. At the moment we have 100% or 0%.
Maybe double-tap the “hold” button for 50% … even better would be fine control from 0-100 but I can’t see a simple way to squeeze that into the UI.
Just added this feature request as part of the survey (amongst others that are often repeated here)
- Move to new pattern but optionally preserve sound and sequence from selected tracks. (E.g. keep rhythm tracks constant while changing melody, chords, or bass).

I would like a second version of Chord, where you choose a scale, so I could play freely and not have to adjust the chord type on each transposition just to stay diatonic.

Isn’t length basically a way to turn the hold time up?
Maybe the sequence would be: Hold down PATTERN, then hold down one track while tapping 2nd, 3rd, (to select the tracks to keep playing) and finally tap trig for the pattern you want.
Or perhaps hold FUNC and then hold PATTERN, then press one or more tracks to select tracks to keep playing, then finally press one trig for the new pattern .
FUNC+PATTERN is the reload pattern shortcut, and the track pads are used to select bank when in pattern select mode.
I agree it’d be a great feature, but I think a simpler way would be to have a “classic” mode like on the Machinedrum, where the kit doesn’t change with the pattern (I think that’s how it worked?). “Kits” could then be selected using some other shortcut.
That’s why I said HOLD pattern … you could (perhaps) do FUNC+PATTERN on release does a reload, with FUNC+PATTERN held meaning the new functionality … call it, say, ‘track carry over’ mode ?
But yeah, I accept the criticism, though I’m fairly sure that they could find a way if they accepted the idea.
Again I noted that myself but didn’t explain … if you were clearly in ‘track carry over’ mode that would distinguish between track buttons used as banks and track buttons used for track carry over … and additionally, you’d only be able to carry over tracks within the same bank.
Make the trigless locks easier to distinguish from regular trigs on the LEDs. Here is a part from the manual that describes trig LEDs:
I agree, the trigs are really not legible… could you make use of different leds brightness instead of blinking ? these blinking lights add so much distraction and cognitive load to an otherwise very sober machine…
Nice to have : be able to turn off tempo led which also distracting… and/or have it pulsating through brightness instead of on/off blinking

Global pad sensitivity/curve would be Much appreciated.
What I am doing now, is I modified my M:Cycles with duct tape under the pads, to make them more sensitive.
Also, when I start new tracks, I use a blank pattern, that has all the senativity, and other adjustments I want, as a template, I have it stored at Pattern A-1, and copy and paste it to the rest of the pattern locations I want to work with.
Easy and fast, using the Copy Pattern/Past to multiple trigs, shortcut, on page 33 of the manual.

In grid recording mode, if you could toggle a button, to allow you to play your trig notes, that have already had pitches set, like you can in chromatic mode.
Add to that, when you are selecting a note with the DATA knob, make the note sounds/plays while you are turning the knob, so you can hear what note you are placing at that trig.
In a 4 bar 64 step pattern, it takes forever to wait for the trig to fire, just so you can hear what pitch, you are trying to place there. -
Allow multiple 1 bar patterns to be consolidated to one 4 bar pattern location.
Would make #1) above easier.
Or better yet, allow multiple patterns (of any length), to be consolidated to a single pattern location.

If a lpf per track is not going 2 be a thing…
What about a plockable master filter pre reverb and delay…with a smattering of wet/dry bit reduction and chorus…
