Today, Elektron adds a second groovebox to its Model line with the launch of the Model:Cycles, an all-in-one beat creation platform built on a six-track FM synthesis engine.
The Model:Cycles—which retails for $299 USD—gives you drum sounds, synth sounds, and chords at the touch of a button, with Elektron's renowned sequencing offering endless ways to compose and change tracks.
Like the Model:Samples released last year, the layout of the machine is simple and intuitive by design, with most knobs serving one function and letting you make music immediately instead of scrolling through settings.
According to Elektron, key features include:
- 6 × Audio tracks (all of which may be used as MIDI tracks as well)
- 6 × Velocity sensitive pads
- 6 × FM-based Machine engines
- 4 × Machine specific controls
- 96 × Projects
- 96 × Patterns per Project
- 1 × Assignable LFO per track
- Delay and reverb send FX
- Elektron sequencer up to 64 steps with unique length and scale settings per track
- Real-time or grid recording of notes and parameters
- Storage space for up to 60,000 presets
