Without a mixer, multi-input soundcard or a computer (as @Electronicsheep suggested), there’s not much you can do unfortunately. It would be awesome if audio could be passed digitally between the two, but it’s unlikely to happen. My suggestion would be to save a little more to get a Digitakt. That way, you can use its inputs for your Cycles, sample things at will and have a more capable sampler at your disposal (and better midi options too).

This is exactly how I have been jamming lately. Also, I like the feel of the buttons and knobs on the Digitakt much more than the M:C.
If you just want to mix the two Models and don’t plan to expand further, you can get a Mackie Mix5 or a Yamaha MG06. There’s also the Roland Go:Mixer (or the Pro version) and the TC Helicon Blender which are super portable. Or else, you can check DigDugDIY Etsy shop, he makes the smallest mixer ever.
I’m curious to see what people think about the 1010 Bluebox once it’s been on the market for a while. It’s super compact, 6 stereo channels, and multi-track recording.
Yeah, that is the main thing that rubs me the wrong way about it, but I’ve heard good things about the touch screens on their other products, so it might not be that bad. If it were also a multi-track audio-interface, I’d probably buy it immediately.
are you looking for a mixer with knobs and/or faders? if so reverb.com has a lot of good used gear for decent prices. word to the wise, getting a mixer that has a bit more inputs than you think you’ll need is not a bad option. you don’t want to do what I did and have to sink some more money into an upgrade as your sound/gear expands.
