If only Elektron would add an attack control, I would buy both of these back. You can use the LFO, but that takes your sole LFO. I sold these for the Digitakt and Digitone, but I miss the ease and portability of these. I feel like a firmware update for both with attack control and a few more engines for the Cycles would really make these shine.

The Cycles is the one u should find & buy again now cheaply 2nd hand... The Digitakt makes a easy choice to upgrade & replace the Model Samples from... But the combination of the Cycles & Digitone are well worth pairing to work on patterns with each other imo... U can make very similar Elektron based sounds & material, that the Syntakt produces in a single groovebox device & product... That otherwise is very similar for producing with a pair of some other Elektrons too... The Digitone is really well suited to pair with Cycles or Rytm's for working in combo on patterns together for material imo?... I have given my Cycles to the other guy I produce with now, but only since I also had acquired a Rytm mk1 & more so the Syntakt too... That's the true upgrade of Cycles machines & replacement of it in my set-up & Elektron devices. But until u make the choice & addition of the expense for a Syntakt &/or Rytm, the cheaper product with some otherwise very slick, & quick fm drum synthesis & the extra drum box, tracks & Elektron pattern sequencer features of a Cycles... Is hard to beat a better drum too, for being the drum box to compliment the Digitone fm synthesis & groovebox.

You can set an "attack". Did you not read the manual? LFO is one way....Sample start would be another.

The Model:Cycles is the most underated piece of hardware gear on the market since it came out, and to this day. It was such an unlock for me I created a 12 song album made exclusively on the Model:Cycles. I'll never get rid of it… and I have 2 of them lol. I have the Digitone and Syntakt, and there's something special about the Cycles that the other two just don't have. They're all great, but it has some special sauce I don't quite understand.

I own both of these as well and really enjoy them both especially connected together. I agree with comments below, I sure wish there was attack control. Yeah you can kinda do it with the LFO, but it's not quite the same. What I really enjoy about these machines is they are very tactile. Just loads of fun to play. I'd probably just love the digitakt or digitone, but I kinda have my heart set on the Octatrack and playing saxophone straight into the machine and cutting up the samples instead of making pre-made samples on a DAW and loading them onto the MS. But yeah Elektron, surprise us this holiday season with an update. That would rock. Great video! I enjoyed it....

I agree that Elektron should at least consider adding an attack control, or if that proves too complex, at least incorporate a second LFO. The community has been discussing these enhancements for a while. However, the silence on many basic updates, coupled with the recent price drop, is creating the impression of abandoned products.
@andreffdafonseca11 ай бұрын
I know these machines are all about simplicity. Nonetheless, please update the M:S with: a basic envelope, a second LFO, finer loop points, option to crossfade loops, gate mode for sample playback, sequencer playback direction, and song mode. Thanks! 🎉

I love these machines, and I would gladly watch Enrique read out his shopping list. He's that good. However, these have been out for a while now, without significant firmware updates, and Elektron seems to be bent on promoting them. If the MS is a Digitakt-lite and the MC is a Digitone-lite, why not make a Model:Syntakt? 😊

besides the power bar starting on fire the cycles was dope the samples only way to shorten sample was decay i believe it was a nightmare, but i did find an iOS app that let you transfer samples was a big plus but no control over sample length was a let down it's what makes me hesitant about trying a digitakt i did like the P-locks

A multichannel USB audio output would make these machines unbeatable for many more musicians than already is in respect to price-performance ratio. The USB audio on these machines seems more like a side effect than intentional implementation of a feature. It doesn't even makes much sense. You can supposedly use it as an audio interface but they don't have ASIO drivers for it. You need to use Asio4All. Asio4All could be a viable solution IF that piece of hardware is the only hardware you're going to use forever and ever. But even then, you got only one stereo output. I don't see any advantage of their USB audio vs just using third party audio interface.
