Fast hands, Cycles Freak. You have mastered this instrument. This is a great demonstration of what it can do, with a skilled player. Best wishes for your continued success.
Great to see someone using this as a musical instrument with a lot of skill getting a huge range of timbres and sounds from this little box of joy. I have yet to add my Model Cycles to my set up- I hear it plays nicely with the Digitakt (I love my Digitakt)!
This is probably the best model cycles jam out here. Crazy composition, mad performance, amazing live play variations. Great job indeed! One little question: the compression ducking effect starting at 4:15 is achieved in post production right? Or did you somehow find a way to do it directly on the cycles itself?
Beautiful compostions and execution. The Cycles and Sample seem like good cheaper alternatives to digitakt and digitone, but I think I still want that Digitakt.
DANIELSSON Well for him he is performance and album centric. He has been at Elektron for a long time. He has this thing probably for months before some youtube reviewer. So he’s a mac who does play out rather than just post here and he gets early dibs.
Super model: cycles set. Really great work. I didn't see any pattern changes - was this filmed in separate takes for each song or is the set all cueued up with song mode? Inspirational stuff.
This is great for the dance floor and I like the sounds that come out of it. I’m considering to buy this to replace the drummer in my experimental punk band but can’t find any videos of people using it in context with a guitar etc. Maybe someone can point me somewhere? Cheers
reminds me 20 years ago when we used to watch autechre live sessions on electron boxes. this gear has always been great for live play. this here guy is using a 300 euros beatbox with six channels and it's heavy. the only thing i'm afraid of (but we will see with time if it's the case) is that this kind of fm synth machine might not be versatile enough when it commes to the sounds it can make. i heard a guy playing neurofunk with one, but it was still in that kind of metalic resonant dark ambiant sonar palette.
With one lfo and no filter, theres compromises to be made. Also nothing like notch filters in it. Have to be a creative to get neuro going on this one. But its pretty amazing little box. Makes some earth shattering kickdrums and basses too 😃
Very cool new instrument! I've learned that you could give Dataline a cowbell and he would make it sound like Aphex Twin! I really loved the vibes of the second song, brought back memories of Radioheads Kid A album. You know Thom is going to figure one of these into his songs.
When I did my maths gcse back in the 80s I thought I should spice it up a bit. So I coloured the front and buttons of my calculator with black marker pen. Not knowing what each button did made finding the right answers a bit more of a challenge. I’m imagining that Cenk uses those stickers in a similar way.
When these came out I had zero interest because I saw them as the fisher price of Elektron but at $300 they’re actually pretty appealing. Even the lowest tier Elektron gear is still far superior
Do you know if you can create a multitrack sequence using your DAW? Basically using various MIDI In channels to control individual tracks/instruments? Love your channel!
Sounds nice but it doesn't really bring anything new to me as a long time Elektron collector of their larger machines. Great way for newcomers to dip their toes though without breaking the bank. Can this do multi-timbrality (aka synth patch change/flip) on a single sequencer track?
@@kristianburghard1955 if you become familiar with an instrument like this you dont need the knob names after a while. I admit it is more impressive for an elektron product as it involves a lot of menu diving, but all the same.
Move the swing/nudge knob while holding a trig step on your kick track to shift it off the grid towards a triplet. Or, press the retrig button while holding a step to open the retrig menu, turn retrig on, set rate to 1/3 or 1/12 and adjust length.
Oh my fuck. I didn't think I needed this but...ughhhh I was going to buy a behringer cat but...this is next I think Was this made with all internal sounds?
I think you have driven this machine to 110% of its capabilities. Very impressive, congratulations
An absolutely perfect set of music. Nice that it also shows off the new instrument, but the music is sublime in and of itself.
it's not a set, it's different pieces and video mounting ;)
@@aknekd how you know
@@aknekd does it really matter?
@@stickyfingazz2103 you can see the transitions between tracks
@@Evgenyus77 Yes because this who comment is wrong. This whole "set" is ass.
One of the most musical and creative electronic music minds out there. Well done Sir Cenk! Love the Model Cycles. FM for lyfe!
one of the ONLY electronic musicians that knows his idiom and does it in a musically interesting way
Even when your tones are soft, you go so hardcore on these machines! Hats off to you sir!
Damn. This is my favorite jam on the Cycles so far. Well done and thanks.
This song is just too good! One of the very few product demos that I return to because I like the song.
After watching this video, my Digitone just sits in the corner and refuses to make eye contact with me :)
Hahaha! Watch Ricky Tinez review of M.cycles , he has a similar moment
@@ShawTobias ahah, yeah, just watched it too
Both great machines, dn is deeper I prefer it
Just use both, and a subh, and a dfam, and two zoom pedals and bridge with circuit tracks running a freak and a td3mo...
Fast hands, Cycles Freak.
You have mastered this instrument.
This is a great demonstration of what it can do, with a skilled player.
Best wishes for your continued success.
You are great at making me want to buy one when i know I personally won’t be able to get anywhere close to your level
Great to see someone using this as a musical instrument with a lot of skill getting a huge range of timbres and sounds from this little box of joy. I have yet to add my Model Cycles to my set up- I hear it plays nicely with the Digitakt (I love my Digitakt)!
Inspirational. Great set. If I buy one, it will be because of this performance. No other review inspired me so far.
Dataline is killing it on the Model:Cycles!
Fantastic demo, much further than I thought this machine could go. You are a maestro of electronica.
I love how you go through cycles, no pun intended, of smoothing it out and bringing it back just meander your way back into something crazy haha.
Ordered one tonight from Guitar Center, based on Red Means Recording demo video and this one.
super tempo! strong rythm....
with a touch of electronic sounds - cool!
This is exceptionally good.
beautiful performance on a beautiful piece of gear
best video i've seen on the model cycles seriously
By far, this is the BEST PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER SEEN! This machine will release a new genre. Keep up the good work!
agree
That was freaking amazing, Cenk! Wow!
The playing and mastery of The Elektron Model Cycles By MR.Dataline Was UNPRECEDENTED JUST AMAZING HIS Decoration Of said Groove Box 🤢🤮
I've always thought this machine could be a little Rian Treanor factory - here's the proof! Amazing work, nice one
Yo this is fresh I love these there like the perfect tech dub machine
this instrument will become a legend like the monomachine.
Sounds pretty amazing! Think this looks like a great instrument for live performance. Simple and tweakable!
Shared it on Elektron's youtube page, this demo makes you buy one instantly! incredible
I hear alittle of my Digitone in there. Nice!!! Hope they add that retrig to the DT! Awesome stuff
Must admit that was really well done ! I’ll definitely buy one because of this performance... thanks for sharing.
5:58 is a lovely piece..
Gonna get one of these things soon. I hope I can reach near this level of mastery with it. Excellent work!
F*cking awesome!! The sound quality, the modulations, the songs, just amazing!!
Really impressive little box for £300. Going to get one next time they're in stock. Good demo too.
This is how you play this instrument.
I didn’t get the pattern painted on your Cycles until I saw the manual. Nice touch!
awesome demo by the Mr himself!
I guess the song at 8:00 shows that some pad sounds have attack on them, even though there is no attack knob.
Sounds like that kid who plays a video game at an arcade, pressing all buttons concurrently to win the round
this is the craziest demo I've seen.
you rock those elektron boxes 👌
Excellent your an artist hadn't been able to make mine sound as 👍
This is probably the best model cycles jam out here. Crazy composition, mad performance, amazing live play variations. Great job indeed!
One little question: the compression ducking effect starting at 4:15 is achieved in post production right? Or did you somehow find a way to do it directly on the cycles itself?
Would have p-locked the volume on those steps, 'fake sidechain'.
Logged in just to say this is slick as hell
Beautiful compostions and execution. The Cycles and Sample seem like good cheaper alternatives to digitakt and digitone, but I think I still want that Digitakt.
Doesn’t it seem like it’s in fast forward or something? Oh yeah! I forgot Mr Dataline is the Bruce Lee of Elektron gear. Nice tracks man!
speaking of playing this at 1.25x speed is siick
Very very impressive. Fast and precise moves, it looks like it’s played at 2x 😂
Would love to know the general settings for that arpy bit that plays in the 6:30 area(before and after)
Yeah burning my ears up on that 3:36 ish mark with the hits! Glad to see you dropped your video for this new piece.
Excellent Demo been watching a lot last days and this stood out
This video sold me on the Cycles. Awesome job!
Running cycles around models 🤘
Man, this was awesome. What a neat machine in the right hands.
*sigh*... this demo beats all the other youtubers demos by a loong way
Because he's an artist and not a youtuber. :)
@@kablehead Well, he is a youtuber as well as an artist. If you do youtube you're a youtuber haha. But of course, people have varying interpetations.
Also check out Perfect Circuit's new demo video, apparently by Baseck :)
DANIELSSON Well for him he is performance and album centric. He has been at Elektron for a long time. He has this thing probably for months before some youtube reviewer. So he’s a mac who does play out rather than just post here and he gets early dibs.
@@ubiquitousreverser I'm happy that this is the case :)

Ok, this the most amazing "one single instrument" set I have ever listened to. Modeselektor shoud see this. ;) Brilliant performance!
Wait it this the M:C alone?
excellent demo. thank you!
Very cool new instrument! I've learned that you could give Dataline a cowbell and he would make it sound like Aphex Twin! I really loved the vibes of the second song, brought back memories of Radioheads Kid A album. You know Thom is going to figure one of these into his songs.
bikesbeersnbeats! I for one am looking forward to the Model:Cowbells :)
You are totally right, Thom would love this!
When I did my maths gcse back in the 80s I thought I should spice it up a bit. So I coloured the front and buttons of my calculator with black marker pen. Not knowing what each button did made finding the right answers a bit more of a challenge. I’m imagining that Cenk uses those stickers in a similar way.
its probably more like disabling subtitles for the people watching, to mute subvocalization during a performance
When these came out I had zero interest because I saw them as the fisher price of Elektron but at $300 they’re actually pretty appealing. Even the lowest tier Elektron gear is still far superior
If I could I'd like this again a couple of times
Church of sound here, great!
sounds better than the analog rytm
two different synthesis types
Cenk shows again that gear does not matter. What matters is skill and knowledge.
Do you know if you can create a multitrack sequence using your DAW?
Basically using various MIDI In channels to control individual
tracks/instruments? Love your channel!
Is the best that I've seen on the Elektron Models ever! You are crazy Mad!👧🙋✌💪Could you give me to save you track for my Lessons?
Absolutely beautiful demo, Model:Cycles great Groovebox :-D
Elektron makes the best instruments, Cenk makes the best tutorials/performances 😎
8:42 is fucking insane need one asap omg
Magnificent stuff, Mr Dataline.
Wonderful performance! Amazing...
the piece at 10min in 🐚 🥀🌬 is giving me hypnagogic shocks
Sounds nice but it doesn't really bring anything new to me as a long time Elektron collector of their larger machines. Great way for newcomers to dip their toes though without breaking the bank.
Can this do multi-timbrality (aka synth patch change/flip) on a single sequencer track?
You can p-lock presets/machines per step.
@@Srejv That's good. That opens it up quite a lot.
I’m hoping this will get people to sell their Monomachines.... ha! Could always use a couple more of those...
Vladilen Kozyavsky same here!!!
The Surging Mass Music I was thinking the same and I’ve noticed that recent they’ve been popping up more often and last week there was a spike 🤙🏼
Damn those stickers are a pain to the eye
Kristian Burghard love those stickers! Chaos can be beautiful. Looks like this music sounds!
@@jazzjeffjazzjeff what bothers me most is that the stickers also cover the text under the knobs. To each their own I guess!
@@kristianburghard1955 he plays with his eyes closed while dreaming.
@@kristianburghard1955 if you become familiar with an instrument like this you dont need the knob names after a while. I admit it is more impressive for an elektron product as it involves a lot of menu diving, but all the same.
@Murada yeah but its very similar to other elektron products
Amazing! How to program those triplet kicks from 8:15?
Move the swing/nudge knob while holding a trig step on your kick track to shift it off the grid towards a triplet. Or, press the retrig button while holding a step to open the retrig menu, turn retrig on, set rate to 1/3 or 1/12 and adjust length.
Where can i buy a MrDataline?
They throw in the hands for free, but charge extra for the brain
do you guys think he's willing to be cloned or be a guinea pig for some experimental skill transfer technology?
Now I freaking want one! Nice work ❤️
wow this is incredible
This is like a musical version of the white rabbit in matrix.
Amazing sound for the price 👌
This is The Very Best performance I've heard coming out of a Model:Cycles. I'm not so sure about the 're-design' of the machine though... 🤔
cheers dataline's playing
wow!! friggin' fantastic!! bravo!!
You're crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful!
5:19 Holy moly.
loving the triplets
Dude I bought a Mc 707 today...cenk you gotta tell me when shit like this is coming out. Dropped the ball dude
novel idea...flying blind like that. I’m using Push like that sometimes by covering the disply to get some ideas on synth parts.
amazing congrats!!!!
Sounds great as usual man
did the results from the rorschach test came in yet?
My novice guess is that he wants more nature in his life.
Oh my fuck. I didn't think I needed this but...ughhhh
I was going to buy a behringer cat but...this is next I think
Was this made with all internal sounds?
I was literally going to pick up a behringer cat this weekend but this looks way more fun!
Bow down to our master!!!
👍👌👆
this is all kinds of awesome!
This is really cool;!!! Well done!!
Ok, ok wow I'm sold that was seriously gorgeous
