Honestly if it is a deal breaker for anyone not being able to p-lock pan in a traditional way, when pan can be LFO’d and the LFO dest/wave/rate can all be p-locked on this $300 device… your standards might be a bit out of line with the intention of these model instruments.
Or you may just be prone to making excuses instead of making music.
People get so fixated on what instruments cannot do. Life is too short. Write an album, enjoy the process of figuring out what you can achieve, and then move on.

Even if it’s not available, there are several ways to connect it to a USB battery pack.
Midi channels 1-6 go to tracks 1-6
I had all 6 going.
It weird, never used 1/8” for midi, seems like it would be limited for some reason…seems just fine. It must be a visual thing for me. But 
to be honest i don’t want to invest in what i would refer to as slightly “messy” solution when theres a very neat handle on the horizon, i’ll just wait for the handle or i’ll only end up paying twice.

It’s just someone’s experience. If it matters to them, let it matter to them and just let it go.

Don’t you think his point is solid though?
What an instrument can’t do isn’t as important as what it can do. Seems like a positive, encouraging bit of advice

Point’s valid. Evaluating someone’s experience on the matter is not.
But maybe I read too much into it. I just don’t like when people have a go at someone just because they’re expressing a personal experience, no matter how significant or insignificant it might seem. It’s relevant to them. That should be enough of a reason to express it without being subject to scrutiny.
But I’m in quarantine now so I guess I’m just losing it.

I’m sorry @AdamJay if it came off as me having a go at you. Wasn’t my intention. I apologise if it was received that way. You’re one of the good ones, which you already know, of course.

Well, a stereo synth with p-lock should be able to p-lock panning…LFO can fix that, and the lack of attack, and the lack of slide trigs, or the lack of slide…but unfortunately there is just one LFO.
The lack of pan p-lock does not bother me that much (Volca Drum also has this problem) but a synth like this one does need attack, just like any other synth made in the last 20 years., that and the lack of slide trigs bother me the most.
There is also lots of things I like about it, but I do not see the need to talk about those unless somebody asks.
I do not care this is an elektron forum, if I do not like something about a product and I think it should be fixed I just say it, if I think a feature could be easy implemented and make the instrument more valuable/powerful I say it too. Same when I find a bug, I let know that so it can be fixed can fixed.

I made a whole new track while you typed that all out.
I wasn’t offended. We’re good.

You are very productive then , I am not… actually I kind of suck…
I am pretty sure any one with talent can do pretty sick tune with a PT-10 too, it does not mean it is a great synth without flaws.
There are good things about the Cycles and things that bother me a lot, nothing wrong with saying that and I guess Elektron forum is the place to talk about this issues, I am not going to go to yamaha forum and complain to them…poor people…
Nothing new anyway, nothing is perfect neither are we…

Yea I feel ya, there are definitely features I wish the Cycles had but I also agree with the make more mentality, as long as you dont let complaints or features you want get in the way of actually using things you have and enjoying them.

Yeah I can see that it received pan cc but wasn’t sure it would actually record it…but it does! Doesn’t seem to be a way to edit it once it’s plocked tho.

@CompNutation To be honest: I’m a total noob when it comes to recording and publishing stuff, but after years of noodling it’s time to challenge myself a bit more and try to produce an actual song. Since I’ve found watching people perform always more interesting than just listening, I thought that should be the way forward for me as well. Here goes nothing, but as a friend of mine said: art is only art when it’s in the public domain. Who knows what comes from it. 
For the time being I won’t quit my day job…

Does it though?
(disclaimer: I rarely use long attacks, even on pads, something about a sound taking an amount of time to reach its peak makes things sound out of time to my ears)
Pitch, Attack/Decay and volume ; the bare minimum any synth should have. I do not specially care if the snare machine has attack ( I like it on kicks and in hh though ) but for synth sounds it is kind of a basic setting.
Feels like if I were asking for a multi mode filter …
Maybe for next Model:? they could remove decay too, the lfo makes it kind of unnecessary and that knob could be used for something else …

I’ve found it super fascinating and inspiring how much cool music people have been making with the M:C (and M:S for that matter).
Sorry Tom, Anti-Ambient is so 2019.
2020 is all about Anti-Attack.
