Model:Cycles

Soundseasy had 5 in stock yesterday

Elektron, don’t be scared to make more lo-fi shit; look at how much everyone loves it. I want 12-bit converters and tape simulations with analog filters and analog overdrive.

Tbh I thought so too from pictures, but I really like the M:S in person. I didn’t expect to at all. Saw one at GC the day of the M:C release for $180 and picked it up.

Yeah I didn’t expect to be as put off the by the M:C’s looks because the M:S looked fine to me. But the M:C looks like the colors on a baby monitor with those baby blues and pinks or whatever they are. I hope it looks better in person.

What I’ve actually loved reading about this machine is the technical insight of the engine, which feeds into new ideas on how to use the DN

Has anybody tried sending midi out? I’m curious if I could use this guy to control some eurorack drums. Sort of stack sounds.

funny you say that, I was thinking that my old electribe 2 would be a perfect companion to the M:C.

Both very different sonic beasts.

The Electribe 2 synth engine is madly underrated, and would complement rather nicely the sometimes harsh and aggressive FM stabs the MC seems to be piling up.

Gotta say, this is the first Elektron product to really interest me in years. Love the dirty sounds I’m hearing in some of the demos. Picking one up to complete a neat little setup for techno jams already consisting of a drumbrute impact, circuit monostation and SP-404.

Do you know that the overall Volume of a Track is the Blue knob?

Yeah, some were a bit stubborn, but they eventually come off with a bit of even upward force

Read on the AB forum that velocity retriggers do not work - might be related to what Loopop reported about the velocity response on the pads in his review.

How are you new owners doing with the velocity stuff?

I’d love to hear some lush type patterns with 6 tracks of tone machines or 5 tone and a chord machine.

How can you workaround the Delay being only 16 steps. Is there a workaround?

You just gotta snag my Basimulus sample pack

Also curious about if M:C can at least recreate the snaps / claps presets on the Digitone.

Does this mean that the longest delay tap is 1 bar long?

I believe so. If its the same as the Model Samples.
