Model:Cycles Q & A with Ess

I went mage ‍♂ glass cannon…full kick, zero other stats, one-shot’n everything.

I think Metal Machine with reverb has greater farming potential. You get great minion waveclear because of the AoE.

[Ess]

cringe aside, I have a question: not sure if this been asked yet, but is it possible to add more stats?
i know it’s still early and not in a rush for new features (except for env attack) but I guess it’s just something cool to look forward too.
and if the screen is limiting or dsp issues, maybe have them interchangeable?

Hehe, the stats are only a cute detail, it doesn’t haven any impact on functionality.

[pgrm.woof]

im so lame thinking increasing stats did some kind of special treatment lol.
perhaps I should’ve waited till my :cycles was delivered first.

bonus

(5% kick & snare buff-duration 14 secs, grants filter immunity, can not cntrl+all while effect is active)

Yeah, I wish there were trig destinations. You could have eg, conditional reverb, conditional LFO toggles.

I REALLY wish trig conditions had a sort of “choose”/“pick” option. Ie, you supply a list of options, and the trig condition will choose one of them at that step. Eg, choose C4, C5, or C6 at step 1.

And then the holy grail: you could have multiple trig conditions, with choosable destinations, per step.

Hey @Ess,

first of all congratulations on the Model Cycles to you and to the whole team behind it. I was at the launch event in Berlin and I instantly fell in love with it.

Since you repeatedly mentioned the MC202 as an inspiration is this where the grey / blue colorway of the Model Cycles comes from?

No, I have nothing to do with the look of the unit.

[fosch]

Yea I know you are not directly involved in the physical product design team but it seemed to fit so well.

Thanks for the quick answer.

If you have both Model:Samples and Cycles hooked up over midi - can you do a cntrl all over both boxes with any of the parameters? (appreciate they arent identical but for say pitch/swing?

[Tchu]

If you look like this, yes.

would struggle with those fingers still…

So, to be clear. Is LFO sent via midi?
If you set LFO destination to lets say Pan (midi CC 10). Are those values to CC 10 not being sent via midi? Just internally?

I may just connect it to midi ox when I go back home and see what midi values are being sent…

[tsutek]

I dont think it is. IIRC the manual states that only MIDI note data will be transmitted by the sequencer.

[avantronica]

and if M Out is enabled per track you can sweep the encoder manually, but no internal LFO routing is going to appear out - it’s just the manual encoder movement for e.g. LFO speed that will appear at the output

[Seta]

Ok thanks…midi note, gate and velocity I guess…or just midi note number?
