Received my model:cycles at the end of March, used it for 2 days then it stopped working.
Had to sent it back but couldn’t do it before May because of coronavirus.
Finally received my new one yesterday and did a little techno jam.
I’m loving the immediacy of this thing!

Here are some patterns I’ve made with the model:cycles so far. I just bought a Digitone a few weeks ago and I plan on grabbing a Digitakt as well pretty soon.

okay there is one non-MC sound in here, but otherwise all Model Cycles.
Made this about a month ago using the Cyclical MC Patch Pack
Model Cycles drums and fm clang hook.
A4 for string pad only.
Alesis Micro Limiter.
Nothing fancy, just a draft I may use live or develop into more some day.

This is really inspiring. I love the lyric soloing around minute 6. All with just one machine!
This was one of the first that had me just sitting back and enjoying it. Dug it man

The M:C is pretty much the only synth I’ve been playing since lockdown. It’s been great for getting back to basics, and I like the discipline of a machine of a machine with no mix tools (EQ, lo/hi filters, compressors, multiple outputs).
I decided to start a set of live videos of things that are more tunes than jams, here’s #1

It is a cool device but I found it a bit limiting
I would prefer a couple of interesting machines added to make the sounds more interesting

Personally, I like the limitations the way I like the limitations of a guitar or something. It forces me to focus on making loops that work.
Plus there’s midi out and I’ve got some very multi-layered tracks with the stereo out from the mc and a zillion vsts 
I only had the Model:Cycles for a short while to test out before I sent it to someone and my mastering is absolutely horrid compared to most of the stuff in this thread, but I might as well place this here.

A new track, coming straight from the recorder. No post processing. Enjoying acid bass with some breakbeat.
Model:Cycles + a few samples (breaks, main guitar texture)

Whenever you feel the M:C is limited just go to Elektron’s SoundCloud page and listen to the demo tracks there. There are so many cool tracks with of a great variety of sounds. It surely also has to come down to our sound design skills too.
Nevertheless, new machines would be most welcome!
