1. Elektron Model: Cycles
Elektron Model:Cycles Overview
The Elektron Model:Cycles is a compact 6-track groovebox featuring FM synthesis and a sequencer. Its design and user interface follow the Model:Samples. The flat housing, along with the compact display and numerous encoders, emphasizes the simplified handling of complex sounds, making it easy for users to get started. The Elektron Model:Cycles groovebox draws its sonic diversity from six different FM models (Machines), categorized into Kick, Snare, Metal, Perc, Tone, and Chord, revealing far more than their names might initially suggest. The sounds provided in the project can be organized into kits across six tracks and edited directly with 15 knobs. Parameters for playback functions, LFO, and effects like delay and reverb can quickly create new variations of the sounds produced.
Proven Concept
Of course, the characteristic Elektron sequencer is also included in the Elektron Model:Cycles groovebox: six audio or MIDI tracks. Microtiming, swing, and individual step lengths ranging from 1 to 64 steps per track allow for exciting patterns beyond the 4/4 grid. Naturally, the beloved parameter locks are also present! All relevant parameters are directly accessible on the surface, eliminating the need to navigate through menu pages. This compact lightweight fits almost anywhere and is ready for immediate use. It is advisable to remember the MIDI adapter cables when changing locations.
