Model:Cycles Feature Requests Thread

honestly you don’t need and ADSR - just an A you can live with the gate sustain and there is a decay/release but having an attack would definitely bring the machine up

portamento, scales/key for the keyboard
adding an arp would be great for live play
being able to change the attack value
in the tone machine, a sub osc to fatten it up would be cool
one thing that i don’t know if it is possible but I wish a lot of synths would do in a chord mode is a keyed chord - that is that you can set a key and do intervals that stay in key eg: you can set say a 3rd or 5th interval and when you move up the scale it offsets in order to keep the interval in key

Lfo modulation of delay time would be cool! Had some sync issues when i first synced it, and it gave this wonderfull tape style warbles on the delay.

Ok. I’m certain this has been suggested, but there should multiple outputs to choose from when utilizing the usb as a recording source. Is it not just a matter of routing audio to 9 different track mixes, Stereo L1/R2, Mono, 1-6? Would make my life a lot easier when live recording so i can more deeply edit my work. Would be insanely valuable. If the Digitakt or digitone had it i’d buy it instantly. If they do, I’ll feel silly.

They do.

It’s already been established that multitrack USB audio isn’t coming to the Model series. Apparently they tried, but the processors they used can’t handle multichannel audio.

are those processors so expensive? All the time I hear from companies that they can‘t implement new features because of the CPU. We are in 2020 … this shouldn‘t be a problem and I‘d pay 20€ more even for the better CPU.

I dunno. I’m the wrong person to talk to about this stuff because I’ve never used the multichannel feature on my Digitone :stuck_out_tongue: … well, I tried it once but then realised that I like the way the box sounds as a single unit.

Same with the Model:Cycles really. The way it starts to crunch up when you push the volume of the tracks would be lost if the channels were split, and I think that’s a key part of the M:C sound.

Models XL confirmed! Seriously, I agree, tho. I’d easily pay 50 notes extra for that functionality :slight_smile:

Didnt know this, thanks, quite handy!

If M:C ever gets extra machines, a VA one would be lit! With four main controls it can be easily done in a dreadbox Typhon style:
Color: Osc 1 & 2 morph
Shape: Osc 2 tune
Sweep: LPF cutoff
Contour: Resonance

Seconding the request for LFO to delay time, and also wanted to propose:

Send data to model:samples via micro usb. I have no idea if this is possible, but if the m:c could act as a ‘live source’ for the files in the model:samples, these two boxes would be totally unstoppable together. What a dream this would be!

Coding for the new features/CPUs would be more expensive, and an upgrade isn’t going to be a drop-in effort.

More machines to at least match the TR-8S! :slight_smile:

A way to set groups to modify machines together (not just track all) - means you can edit parameters of just the tracks you want to without disrupting the chord mode for example - or setting the decay to nearly 0 on the more percussive tracks to hear more of the melodic sections

Anybody wish for m :c with individual outputs and in metal box? I can dream…

Dont care about the metal chassis to be honest, but individual outs would be cool. And for god sake, make the jacks a little bit further apart. I noticed that when using “standard neutrik” plugs they kind of bend. And not shure if that is good in the long term. Gotta find some other cables to connect it now.

Something like analog mk2 chassis, but knoby :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m with @thomaso on this one. Plastic case is fine on this machine but individual outs would be a massive improvement. I tend to want more outs on most gear but the m:c especially.

That’s not the idea, because as I said the global clock is sent to other equipments than my 2 models.
When I want to solo the 2 models, I stop the global clock, and in this case, model:cycles should have detected that there is no more a global clock and starts sending its own.
Does it make sense ?

You can kinda do this by p-locking all the parameters that you don’t want to be affected by Control All. It’s not perfect, however, because some things tend to change briefly between steps. Worth a try though!
