I have a Roland mc-707 that is infinitely more capable, and yet I keep finding myself going back to the Model:Cycles for the happy accidents I discover. It’s also nice to lay down a track, and have everything at my fingertips. The Cycles has that pure analog feel with the parameters right in front of you that most FM synthesizers hide behind menus.
It makes me want a Model:Wave (wavetable), Model:Analog and Model:FX (fx unit). I also really want the power handle for portable on the go capabilities.
