Model:Cycles only music

Yea, actually, there was a little bit of doubt.
Most of the techno I was hearing made with M:C was a bit too pristine/glassy for my own personal tastes. Whenever I heard something with a good bit of dirt in it, all 6 tracks were distorted.
It was all or nothing.

I wasn’t 100% certain it would sound good with something made that was in between those extremes. Not everything does.

Had to try it myself to find out.

This one is a bit dirty. Just messing with the Tone engine, getting some nice wobbles out of it.

Fair enough. THD preferences are very subjective indeed.

It was Blush Responses comments on the m:c that convinced me. He is someone who gigs regularly, and has undoubtedly used more gear on big PAs than many, if not most of the people on this board.

Today I made techno.
I was very helpful with the tips on Acid Bass shared in this thread :slight_smile:

today’s pattern.

Chord machine is solid for that old detroit-FM, Robert Hood vibe.

some really cool tracks in here!

i also got a model:cycles and made some patterns… just recorded this one via usb to phone - very convenient.

i think the new elektron is very immediate and instant fun, comparable to novation circuit in that aspect

I keep wanting to make the Chord Machine do harsher things, but it is just so lush…

Gave up and went deep. I could jam on these inversions all day.

Ya that is what I meant!

They really should have called it model:electribe :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I do like the drum sounds coming out of it so far though.

This tune kills it. It really breaks the sound mould of the cycles for me.

Lovely vibe. Reminds me a bit of trancey tech house tracks like Oxia - Domino

haha, yeah, maybe a little too loud, just listened in the car… it is very easy to make good kicks with the model…

thanks, yes definitely goes in that direction

Sounded good on my cans but this box does some badass subbass that is beyond my headphones hah!
