Haha thank you! It’s a really great machine in a lot of ways, deep yet simple and more than capable for sound design, and the sequencer works well for live performance too. It will always have a place in my setup.
That is a good idea! I will probably clean this one up a bit and maybe add a little more. Not sure why this one has gotten the most views so far but o well I appreciate it!
@@suddenlanguage The appeal is simple: It's a straight, 4 on the Floor House Track with no gimmicks, just like a commercial release you'd hear on the dancefloor, but it has your flavor and the Elektron FM magic setting it apart from the Beatport noise.
@@DawlessHouseMusic Nice, thank you, that is good feedback and good to know. You are right that a lot of times simple is better and less is more. Plus with something like model cycles you can do less and make it sound complex at the same time. I appreciate this!
Every time I think I’ve found the best cycles video I find another! I’ve been contemplating getting a groovebox for a while (last was an RS7000 back in the day!) and at first thought something like a Circuit or Electribe would give me the most mileage. But I really like the sound possibilities of the cycles. Stripped down but so capable in the right hands.
Yes! There are so many great cycle performances out there and they are all different. So many possibilities with it. It is surprisingly deep for how minimal it is, lots of sound shaping possibilities too and I’m sure updates will bring even more to it.
Thank you! Glad you like it, it’s an amazing little machine. I recorded into my phone, which might have affected the sound a tiny bit, otherwise that’s the all the cycles. It sounds great live too!
That’s awesome, and thank you! I might do this one again and see if I can expand on it at all. This one seems to be the most popular so far. Thank you for watching man!
Is it possible to do an Interstellar remix only on the model:cycle, or would it be easier on the model:sampler, or on neither or the two ? I'm looking for a groovebox/sequencer-synth, which could do some cinematographic music, if you know something like that, let me know please
Out of the two, you’d probably have a little more luck achieving sounds like that on the model cycles, but for a synth/sequencer and groovebox the Digitone is going to be able to reach those cinematic sounds a little more easily, it’s a very deep synth/groovebox but a little more expensive than the cycles. There are other synths out there that i don’t have as much experience with that will give you those sounds too, but as far as a sequencer/synth groovebox the Digitone is a good choice. There are many ways to get the sounds you’re looking for and it comes down to personal preference too.
Super cool. How do you play different patters after eachother? And the chord changes after the sequence ends. Like you have 16 steps of one chord then it changed to a different chord the next 16 steps??
Thank you. For this, I would start with one pattern, that would have chords, bass, drums, and then extra stuff added, but also would step lock different sounds on each track, so each track has a variety of sounds on it, the chords have a few different chord sounds they blend together. Then copy the pattern and make slight variations to it.
Excellent work !!! I am about to buy a model cycles. The only thing is that by not having individual outputs, what quality of sound does the final mix have? How did you record this song? Thank you.
Awesome! And thank you. Yeah unfortunately there is no overbridge yet or individual outs, but the sound quality is still very clean. It can fluctuate with the cycles since you’re working with and blending all these sound frequencies together, I’ve noticed it can get a little muddy around some lower frequencies, which you can probably hear in some parts of this video, and there aren’t any immediate EQ options, but this can be worked around. It also has usb audio too. I recorded this into my phone and only did some slight mixing after. This is pretty much the original recording though. It does sound really nice and can get very deep bass sounds. It’s really good for percussive sounds but can still maintain everything when using every sound type and pushing it to its limit.
I actually haven’t paired it with the digitakt yet, been to busy seeing how far I can take it by itself. I think it’s going to work really well with the digitakt though. the immediacy of cycles combined with everything digitakt offers will be powerful. I’ll be posting videos with them soon!
Cool Cycles Jam 😎
Your lighting and video colour grading choices are so spot on!!
Thank you! I figured that if you’re just going to be watching my hands twist some knobs, I should try and make it interesting.
my whole day sounds like this!
Haha That’s awesome! I’m glad I could contribute to your day.
awesome. thank *YOU*
Thank YOU also, very much!
Yeah. fresh and subtle. Live is lit. Has a mouse on mars vibe a bit. plenty of space, so the flow is nice
Should be dedicated to all the M:C naysayers :-) Great track, great exploration of this machine sonic potential!
Haha thank you! It’s a really great machine in a lot of ways, deep yet simple and more than capable for sound design, and the sequencer works well for live performance too. It will always have a place in my setup.
I keep coming back to this. Not a bad idea to release this as a live track.
That is a good idea! I will probably clean this one up a bit and maybe add a little more. Not sure why this one has gotten the most views so far but o well I appreciate it!

crazy as hell this is all coming out of one box!
It’s very powerful! The cycles and blackbox are both powerful even on their own.

You really make that M:C get down!
Its an inspiring device!
Wow awesome performance
Thank you!
bravo!!!
Thank you!
Excellent! If I looked away it was a pro sounding chill mix. If that's just one pass w/the ModelCycles, sign me up!
Thank you! Glad you like it, it’s an amazing little machine. I recorded into my phone, which might have affected the sound a tiny bit, otherwise that’s the all the cycles. It sounds great live too!
Man this is such a good composition. I love it. Keep coming back.
That’s awesome, and thank you! I might do this one again and see if I can expand on it at all. This one seems to be the most popular so far. Thank you for watching man!
so sweet
Thank you!
You could definitely dance to that. 😊
bravo

@@suddenlanguage thank you very much
Very very nice!
Thank you!
Wow this is great
So good
really solid jam! would love a video on the process of making this jam
I have heard that a few times now so I should probably figure out how to make tutorials! Thank you for watching!

Yea, You definitely know how to use that baby!
Love it 👌🏻
Thank you I appreciate it!
hell yeah! groovy
simply amazing stuff!
Thank you! I appreciate you listening
Sweeeet!!! Love cycles and perfect demo!
Thank you, it is an incredible little machine!
Nice work !
Thank you! I appreciate you checking it out!
Can we now get a 16 track model:both? :)
Haha that would be incredible!
damn that would rule
Did you use an external keyboard to input the bass sequence or used the trig keys onboard? Always searching for THE workflow ;)

Hola! increible video! es posible hacer compases irregulares? odd times? o polyryhms?
Gracias! SI, cada pista puede tener firmas de tiempo impares.
yo i am groooooooovin to this love it
I appreciate that! Thank you for listening!
Dayum 👌
good lord
The lord is good
How's it go with the digitakt?

@@suddenlanguage nice one! I might buy one and see how they pair. Looks like a lot of fun. :)
Other than the hi hats being just a little too prominent for my taste some very nice sounds.
Oh yeah hose puppies cut right through. Still getting the hang of it, thank you for taking the time to listen!
very dynamic.!....and..not to sound pedantic....but your next obvious step ..
. i.s to create some harmonic interest......ie Change keys and chords !!
