Yep I agree . A Machine Drum MK3 with At least 3 LFO/ track (synced & SLOW) & i was gonna say 4 FX (with routing possibilities ) .
Hello,
As it’s my first post in this forum, I’d like to thank Elektron & all Elektron teams for such a great product !
The feature I would appreciate is to have different sounds (at least one more sound) for the click, because sometimes I can’t hear it precisely when tracks are playing.
Thanks again.
Going back grooving

Hi, just got my MC 2 days ago, here are some things i miss for now :
- Tempo lock (between patterns)
- Navigate thru patterns easier (with encoder?)
- Solo/ unmute all tracks
- Individual mutes per pattern
- Level/ normalize presets
- LFO on delay time and reverb time.
Thanks

Hi,
I don’t know if it has already been posted here, but it would be great to apply a panning to the delay and reverb, and to control this panning with LFO.
BTW, is there a “M:C Feature that I love” thread ? I think the M:C deserves one

- Trig Preview a la DT/DN - hold trig and press Track button?
- Noise as LFO shape (or just faster LFO) - I constantly hit max rate when using S/H and want more
-
Attack - hold Function and turn decay (I KNOW this comes up often )
- Two LFOs - without a proper Attack, I often use slow LFO as an envelope which works fine, but then the sound is stale. Maybe tap LFO twice for LFO 2 settings, and have Function+LFO (LFO Setup) have 6 params - 3 for each LFO
- Panning per trig - I often set S/H LFO to pan to get interesting stereo field. Would love to not need to use an LFO and just adjust per trig
- Note Scale - Maj/Min/Modes set in TRK MENU
- More machines - I don’t care what they do, I just want more variety. Agree Clap and another Snare would be nice, but would love more tonal machines as well (Tone 2 and / or Chord 2) with different algos / controls.
All of these except 7 should work for M:S as well.
I’ve been falling in love with the simplicity and immediacy of this machine, so would not want any new functionality to get in the way of the current workflow. I prefer it to my Digitone in many ways!

After having this a while, the ones that still stand out as not just fun limitations, but something that should really be resolved are attack and P-locks for panning.
More LFOs and scales would be cool too but they are nice to haves… I guess a second LFO would remove the need for panning p-locks

I agree with the P-Locks for panning I recently tried to find out that you can’t set trigs on either side.
had to sacrifice a track but as a result I finally set more than one machine to a track to make up for it.

One other work around for panning p-locks is to turn volume velocity to 0 in the pad menu and set velocity to modulate pan. Then you can p-lock Velocity. This is fine, but there are two issues:
- You need to pan everything as ‘left’ as you want it, and velocity sets how ‘right’ you want the should to be (0-64). You can swap L and R, but it’s the same issue.
- Velocity can’t be used for volume, which impacts retrig fades!

Ah no way, I didn’t realise this was possible! To be honest I never use velocity for volume so this is great, thanks so much

This tip rocks so much. Just freed up a channel on my favourite pattern which really needed one more element, but I also really didn’t want to lose the panning on the shakers (who’s LFO is required for the attack, grumble grumble). I owe you one! Thanks again

Yeah! Glad to hear this worked out for you!

At the moment when using an external sequencer to trigger sounds from the Model:Cycles, the Chance parameter does absolutely nothing. It would be very cool if it would apply the selected probability to any incoming trigs, essentially filtering them.

- Being able to undo live parameter changes would be nice. I know you can do it if you make a temp save before going into live mode, I just sometime forget sometimes, want to redo it and then have to re-enter the triggers which is a shame sometime because i’ll get a good sequence going which I can’t replicate again…
- Mentioned before but definitely scales.
- Fixing the levels on the preset sounds, some are seriously loud which can make cycling through them unpleasent.
- This one might be a long shot but a compressor or something which allows you to alter the sound of tracks from the sound of different tracks.
Had a few others I can’t remember right now…

Been looking at the Erica Synths Code Source module lately.
Something like that as a Model:Cycles machine would be awesome.

I’d love a few more melodic machines.
acid (202, 303 ish),
pads, strings kinda thing.

Can we get the LFO mode from the front panel? I feel like that is a very doable feature request.

Yeh i want a Pittsburgh Modular DNA as an engine…
Dual oscillator, selectable waveforms with balance control, a selection of different phase distortion and FM modes to decide how those oscillators interact, and morphable FM/phase distortion amount…its nasty…
…only trouble is MC being mono, devs might have to implement a way to use a neighbouring track for the pitch of the second oscillator…but im sure it would be possible…

Multiple sustain levels. At the moment we have 100% or 0%.
Maybe double-tap the “hold” button for 50% … even better would be fine control from 0-100 but I can’t see a simple way to squeeze that into the UI.
