Right?
The spec thing is always so silly, because on that basic level, a mid-range laptop with a modern DAW so far exceeds the ability of any piece of hardware that it’s not even funny.
If we’re talking hardware ‘how does it sound?’, ‘how does it play?’ and ‘how does it feel?’ are much more useful questions.
yep - first things I started doing… pushing it. Not really my style but that’s where I always start with Elektron sequencers.
I don’t necessarily enjoy creating or listening to particularly complex, flashy and busy sound. I prefer things to be relatively minimal and refined. Whatever that means…
Agree 
spec is silly. people will bring it up…covering bases.
However :
9.4 TRACK SETUP MENU
If MOUT is checked the following functions also sends MIDI data :
• PADS The [T1–6] pads sends MIDI note data.
• TRIG KEYS The [TRIG] keys sends MIDI note data in CHROMATIC mode.
• MUTE, activating/deactivating mutes sends MIDI.
• TRACK PARAMETER and FX knobs sends MIDI data on their set channels.
Each knob sends MIDI data but we can’t choose on which MIDI CC (Refer to manual p.51 APPENDIX A : MIDI SPECIFICATIONS). So it is best suited for a DAW where you have a MIDI learn function. I tried in Ableton Live and it worked fine. Be aware that it’s not all the knobs that have full range (e.g. Pitch).
I have a question regardion previewing presets. Let’s say I want to preview a preset kick in a sequenced a pattern.
This is what the manual says:
“You can also press and hold the [T1–6] pad to let the sequencer play the highlighted preset.”
However in my case it plays the preset just once. Anyone else has this?
Lay trigs.
Hit play.
Then press+hold T1-6
Thanks for your reply. In my case it plays the preset just once. It doesn’t follow the trigs.
I don’t have my machine in front of me.
Could be a misprint, carries over from MS where functionality is not exactly the same.
What happens when you hold the button labeled “track” instead?
Or just hold down a trig (outside of grid recording mode)?
Nanoloop 
I actually meant it in the opposite way; I’ve been using Nanoloop 2 for 5 years and am still finding new things. If anyone’s gone super deep with NL2, they know that it’s possible to get very far away from the “chiptune sound”. I think the M:C is the same. People complaining about it not having enough parameters are kinda not getting the point imo. It starts to really shine when you start using things in weird ways, like making kicks from the chord machine, or melodies with the snare, or using LFOs at the highest rates to make strange buzzy/broken sounds. Don’t just turn all the parameters to their extremes and think “is that it?”. Play, experiment, try to break it (not physically).
Holding track does nothing. Playing the trigs outside recording mode let’s me play the sound I want to preview chromatically.
Is there a Mute Mode on the M:S? I have experienced a Mute Mode on my M:C and I want to know if it’s a normal behavior. Can’t find it in the manual.
This morning in the M:C I dunno what I hit but i was in a mute mode… I wasn’t sure how I got in or out of it. But each track button became mute unmute without hitting function
So I’m not dreaming! I have submitted this behavior in the Model:Cycles Q&A thread.
Thanks for your reply!
When I first started using my M:S, I discovered a mute mode of sorts. Maybe this I what you also discovered, and is the same on the M:C?
Bug or feature? As this been solved?
That sounds like it might be exactly what happen to me.
Me too
Good question. I don’t think it is documented in the manual. Could be seen as a bug or a feature I suppose.
The LFO at ridiculously fast rates can get quite weird. I did this just now:
which turned into this…
That’s awesome
