Ive been usin 2 M:S units as well in tandem. With 1 sequencing external gear and doin a track or 2 of sample or whatever. Was thinkin of runnin a Cycles unit along with them but every time I ended up cracking and went looking to get 1 nobody had any in stock... Seems like it would be a cool combination tho...
new to elektron but just picked up both of these together for £300 - absolute bargain - and it's coming this weekend! Bit disappointed at the lack of multi-outputs as I produce in Logic in a digital/hardware hybrid setup but excited to see what I can do with them both together!
hi there. probably a stupid question but for an audio interface for both machines i will need 4 line inputs yes? or could i away with 2 line inputs? great work btw!!!!!!
What do you want to do with it? Samples is great, but it does take some prep in loading the samples you want, then it is extremely fun. Cycles right out the box is interesting and has a great sound, fun and quick to get complex.
One is a sampler so you can load external hits and samples into it and the other is an fm synth which means frequency modulation so the sounds are all internal and produced entirely by the hardware, the samples of course being the sampler
@@alexround2043 thanks for explanation. Wouldn't the sampler version mean you have more options for sounds then? Like, why would someone get the version where you can't add any sounds?
@@vertigev true it’s personal preference some people like to just have complete freedom and if you know how to work the an fm synth like the cycles then you can make some pretty crazy sounds, but aswell like you say having the option to load in samples exactly as you want them is a plus, that’s why both are good in different ways, aswell some people don’t like the fiddling when you want new sounds and you have to download them and find the ones you want so all in all it’s like most music hardware whereby you just have a go and whatever you like you like, both worth a go I think
@@vertigev it really is like anything man when it comes down to it if you’re a hardware geek you start to notice what’s missing from your setup sound wise and there’s a plethora of options to choose from it’s confusing but rewarding most of the time
Loved this jam
This was beautiful. Getting my Cycles this month, and was thinking of pairing up in the future with the Samples. This convinced me is a good idea ))
I've been having a blast with two Model:Samples and a Model:Cycles sequencing a Blofeld. It's a lot of power in a small space.
I use an Octatrack with my Blofeld and I’m heavily considering adding the Model Cycles to my setup. Both of these boxes just look so fun.

that bass live record is on point
You earn big points for using Chrono Trigger sound effects for the intro
Love it! You play the Models really good!

dopee! is the bass made on the cycles?
if i have to buy one first, which one, i have no drum machine at the moment, just other synths and ableton
Inspiring. (I'm getting the other one)
STRANGE!!!!!
good sound

With the cable how do you sync the two of them
Great sound man! How you got them synced together?
Model:Cycles is sending MIDI Clock to the Model:Samples.
Which do you recommend? Cycles or samples

@@strangestrains. thanx bro! Got the Cycles, but it's a little complicated
I'm going to ask a dumb question but what's the difference between the two?
One is a sampler so you can load external hits and samples into it and the other is an fm synth which means frequency modulation so the sounds are all internal and produced entirely by the hardware, the samples of course being the sampler
