Elektron Model:Cycles Demo

If two is always better than one, make it a pair with Elektron’s latest Model — the Model:Cycles FM groovebox. A perfect complement to Elektron’s Model:Samples, the Model:Cycles focuses on rhythm and melody via a tactile digital FM workstation. Removing all the superfluous stuff coming between you and imagination, the new Model:Cycles is designed to spark some joy.

At the heart of Elektron’s Model:Cycles are six unique FM synth engines: Kick, Snare, Metal, Perc, Tone, and Chord. Use four synth controls (Color, Shape, Sweep, and Contour) to mold your next music masterpiece over 6 tracks and 64 steps. Deep reverb and delay effects add sonic mangling on a per-track basis. A built-in MIDI sequencer folds in external instruments, letting Model:Cycles be the centerpiece of your performance rig, even without a laptop.

Whether you prefer to explore, or get straight to the point, lock into your groove with Elektron’s newest, most portable, affordable design yet: Model:Cycles — a six-track, FM-based production workstation weighing less than two pounds!

Diego

Since starting on classical guitar around 2000, Diego has become a multi-instrumentalist at heart, but specializes in keyboards and electronic instruments. A sometimes member of various At the Drive-in-adjacent El Paso-based bands, Diego fell out with the scene/sound and does his own things now. He's worked as a staff writer for the zZounds Blog and a product specialist at zZounds for well over 10 years. If you ask Diego's significant other, his true talent is cooking.
