Building upon the success of the Model:Samples, the Elektron Model:Cycles is an affordable, compact, and lightweight six-track FM based groovebox, offering professional features in a small form factor.
Model:Cycles ships with a ton of professionally designed percussive and melodic synth tones, allowing you to make full and varied compositions. Effortlessly mold rhythm and melody across the digital spectrum using instant, tactile controls. All sounds are easily tweakable thanks to the four core synth controls, that put the tools of sound sculpting right in front of you, altering the behavior of each Machine differently and letting you push them to the limit. With 12 dedicated knobs, you can expect a wide pallet of sounds, only restricted by your imagination.
Step-record or record in real-time using the six onboard velocity-sensitive pads. Each track can also be switched to MIDI for sequencing outboard hardware instruments and effects. Each internal voice includes its own LFO, as well as dedicated delay and reverb effects sends for each sound. Save your sounds and compositions to the internal storage bank, capable of holding up to 60,000 presets.
Like all other performance machines by Elektron, the Model:Cycles offers parameter locks, which allow any sound-shaping function to be sequenced to any point on the sequencer resulting in powerful effects that are accurately timed. What s more, any parameters that have been adjusted can be undone at the press of a button.
