Model:Cycles only music

It’s been a while since I fired up the Cycles but man I love this little fella. Despite rocking the Syntakt for the past month I feel like the Cycles still grooves with me a bit better. It’s just fun!
Here’s another tune I’m working on:

Very nice, a slow and relaxed melodic one. And Cycles only! :+1:

How is the sawtooth like lead sound in the 3rd tune made?

Not my video, but a nice demo of drone

Posting these last 2 videos caused me to buy a secondhand Model:Cycles :grimacing:

I made this whole record on a model:cycles, minus the vocal on the first track and a couple field recording samples on tracks 3 and 4 respectively. This was my first time working with the cycles or any Elektron gear, and making this record was a way to motivate myself to dig in and learn and try to push the boundaries of what I could do with it.

I have some background with FM synthesis, but I found the focused palette and sense of immediacy with the cycles led me in some new directions. It’s just so much fun to jam on.

Here is a cycles only jam. It is interesting that TikTok muted the audio for this post for copyright violations at first. I guess it must be quite generic. Kudos to anyone who can id the copyrighted content :rofl:

Fartcore ! Reeeeally great farty-kick, how much tracks did you use for that ?
It is a great start, deserves to become a full length song.

so much nice stuff in this thread. Haven’t used my mc lately. But I will, for sure. I found some of my old mc jams:

This is honestly beautiful. All done with M:C? I hope you release this!

Everything made with the M:C and recorded in one shot. That’s the only way I know how to do things haha. Yeah! I’m working on a tape release right now with a friend and this song is in it! Stay tuned on my instagram! Also, I will probably create a bandcamp! Thanks for the support!
