Where are the Model Cycles Soundpacks?

[CompNutation]

you can get pretty interesting dirty chords by using a high speed lfo set to sweep and then start adding in trigless locks for varying speeds of the lfo, depth and contour parameter… sure its not the same as other machines and has its various ranges but also other machines can’t do the same things the model cycles does also I also found a usable clapish sound by using a snare machine and putting the lfo on pitch with mult x256 depth 17, color over 80, and shape over 50 but yeah not much variety to be found in clap sounds yet in my exploring I could see also making 2 sounds that you play in succession to make more diverse variety of clap type stuff if someone were looking to push the boundaries a bit more with one track.

Cheers for the tips!

I’m familiar with this sound but it’s just not really noisy or dirty, but warbly.

I guess more specifically I’ve been using a S&H lfo with a rate of x512 with a pretty low depth (2 or 3)… makes it sound sort of dusty crackly/noisey while still having variety all through out the range of the sweep knob

[AdamJay]

I will have to try that!

There’s a new pack of 100 patches here.

[Snipecatcher]

I got that soundpack and it’s quite good!

[d_imil]

I just got that sound pack last night and flipped through it while watching some TV before bed. There were a lot of sounds that impressed me. Lots of weird LFO heavy sounds.

[brendorsmashradio]

I think you get more of a unique sound just playing with the Model Cycles. It has been one of the most fun machines ive purchased in recent memory.

Edit: That sound pack is dope, thanks AdamJay

[craig]

Agreed. I think soundpacks are great for the odd sound you want to use as is but buried amongst your own sounds, or else they’re useful for learning a new machine’s capabilities by reverse engineering. Otherwise, create your own!

Edit: I made the mistake of downloading too many when I owned an Analog Keys and it had the opposite effect. Too many to cycle through, barely any I would actually consider using, gave up on them completely in the end. Too many presets are sometimes detrimental

We need new machines serioulsy

I’ve been on the fence about the M:C - I really like how it sounds but I’ve increasingly found myself going down the same rabbit holes with how I’m programming it. Then, I was messing about with feeding it through external FX (in particular the Alexander Syntax Error) and thinking I need to spend more time. So, might pull my for sale advert. Anyway, in amongst all of that I did some searching and happened across some sound packs if case anyone is looking for more starting points:

https://wavparty.com/downloads/model-cycles-sound-pack-01/ - FREE!!!

https://www.oversynth.com/product-page/overcycles-sound-pack-for-elektron-model-cycles - $5!!!

Worth checking out, I’m sure…

Those were the two I found when I went searching. I’m fairly sure the wavparty one is donationware … so you could get it for free, but …

[jeye_musik]

You are absolutely correct! I just saw the ‘FREE’ banner on the page but hadn’t got them yet. When I clicked on that there was an option to pay if you want and as there were some really interesting sounds in the demo I watched I thought it only fair to push some cash their way.

[teknokarhu]

I like to use the random LFO on the fine tune parameter instead, usually with a fade out. Creates a more dirty sound.

[teknokarhu]

Sounds like single cycle waveforms on the M:S would be the way to go in this case? The Cycles can do bread and butter sounds, but mainly with the 2 op FM machine (Tone) and the Kick. Everything else is a little bit weird, and that’s its strength.

Just came across this one from Liquid Limbs. Referenced elsewhere in this forum, but a worthwhile addition to this thread I think.
