Hi! Happy new year everyone!
Here’s a track with a color bug, an accordion made with FM synthesis, an old towel and my beloved Cycles.
Hope you’ll like it!

It’s stuff like this that makes me realize I gotta get my shit together and really spend more time with the M:C - great job!

Like a trippy walk in a synthetic desert.
Would you mind breaking down how the sitar sound is made?

I think this might just be my favorite thing that I’ve seen done with the Cycles.

Thank you! I feel like it’s a great box to get creative with. I own a Digitone as well (and a DT recently acquired), and I love it but it takes so much more time to get the sound patches done!
I really feel like the Cycles is a masterpiece.

I’m happy you got the vibe!
Sure, which one are you talking about exactly? Because where I hear an accordion my girlfriend hears a sitar, and there’s another sound that could fit the description, the one that starts at 2:50!
I’ll reverse engineer it

My biggest problem is I’m SO used to working on iOS and ITB that trying to get my head around another workflow has been incredibly painful lol… this has inspired me to give it a go again though!

I don’t know ITB (or maybe I just don’t know the initials).
In my opinion the Cycles is great if you manage to let go: it’s a happy accidents madness machine
There are some very, VERY in depth tutorials on Youtube, they are long but are worth every second.
I particularly enjoyed the one on Delay. It teaches more on synthesis (not only on Cycles) than lots of videos I’ve seen.
Check it out: the name of the channel is “Undulations”. And the 5 videos on the cycles teach… Everything!

So if you’re talking about the one at 2:50, here’s how:
I started from the default preset of the snare machine (track 2 in new project).
Settings are: Decay 127, Color 127, Shape 0, Sweep 0, contour 26 (same than the accordion), no LFO. Delay to taste, FULL REVERB! (with a setting of 68 for the size and 0 for the tone).
The accordion sound is exactly the same, but I put an LFO to simulate an attack enveloppe (the Loopop trick): LF0: ENV, x32, Dst DIST an Depth -64
Hope it helps!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to break them both down! I’ll be trying these out!
It’s rad how little tweaks can make very different sounds.
