Yo Free Beat! Just picked up a Sonicware Liven XFM, delivered yesterday. After playing with the M:C for about a month, and trying this out for just ONE day..... I gotta say, the XFM destroys the M:C. 4-part multitimbral, polyphonic sequencing, extensive editing, lots of great presets... Sonicware is really on top of their game. Cheap, awesome gear. I bought their 8bit warps a year ago... this XFM is such an amazing addition to that. Worth looking into, man. Really worth looking into, especially if you like the M:C as much as you do, and dig on the cool synth gear. I really think people are sleeping on Sonicware, and they definitely shouldn't.
@@FreeBeat Definitely fun. Played m ore with the Model:Cycles and I might have come to the conclusion it's the better piece. While the XFM is polyphonic, it's only 6-note, across 4 tracks. I experienced note-stealing when I was building a pattern. Track priority I think is 4 3 2 1... that was a drag, finding that out. Cycles might have better presets, to start (have no idea how to program it to make interesting ones of my own).... but yeah. 6 tracks. You can have 6 chord tracks if you want, to get some crazy layers and ambient textures. Or, just one, and 5 monophonic tracks. Essentially, the M:C has the edge. The reverb on the Model:Cycles is incredible (like the Samples) because well, Elektron. Reverb on the XFM is a bit weak-sounding. I love how you can add delay/reverb per track, easily, with the M:C. The Verb and Delay on the XFM is global, per-pattern. Definitely think the M:C is the better choice. But the XFM is still really cool. And being able to actually play chords, instead of programming them in, is a huge bonus with the XFM. Then again, the chance/conditions with the M:C.... huge strength. Just wanted to give you an update. I think I totally prefer the M:C.
Was looking into this a while ago, found it curious the Samples seemed to be the focus of almost everyone. Ended up deciding both just aren't for me, personally, but super interesting topic. Thank you!
the Model Cycles is the most fun, creative and unique piece of gear I own which includes the Microfreak, Minilogue xd, MC101and more. I have created grooves that I have never heard or imagined before and that alone is worth the $300. (Now my MPC One is in a category of its own)
Love your channel and vids but I STILL don't know why everyone wants an FM synth instead of a sample player with 1GB of storage... I think the Model:Samples is the shit and a half! And I've done a ton of research, studying both. I do not get why people want this one instead of the Samples. You can have every vintage drum machine in one unit with the M:S (assuming you have the WAV one-shots, which are ridiculously easy to find). Every basic pattern can be a specific kit, and you can easily have all the best sounds in one box, and that's not even including using it for melodic patterns. It rules! :)
I think it comes down to whether you prefer to work with samples or designing your own sounds. I'm more of a synth person than a sample person, but between these two, I tend to agree that the M:S is more versatile because the FM engine is quite limited. Between the Digitakt and the Digitone though, the Digitone is the clear winner for me as you have endless sound design capabilities which is so cool. There's no right or wrong here. Keep in mind that the M:C has chords mode which makes it easier to create melodies and chord progressions. The M:S has none of that so you need to sample the chords you need and play them as one shots. Generally I'd say that the M:S is a great drum machine, but less of an "instrument". The M:C is more of an instrument with groovebox features as a bonus. Hope this helps.
Well I own a Cycles and hat a go on samples once or twice. Cycles is a magic bix of wonder, samples doesn't tempt me at all in comparison. The synth engine is pretty deep, it's a bit more than just a drummachine. (;
@@7177YT Definitely more than a drum machine! I just meant that between the M:C and the Digitone, the Digitone offers a much deeper synth engine. The M:C sure looks fun to play with. 😊
Since you were so kind mentioning us the sale on both Electrons I couldn't hold my GAS anymore. So here I am again to find out why you bought the cycles and why I should, or not. Or both...
They are both fantastic. Like I mentioned in this video, I went with the cycles because I wanted a truely all-in-one box, without having to worry about loading samples at all. Let me know which one you get!
Let's appreciate for a second that they implemented chord inversions which is so DANG nice! My feeling with chords in root position is that you can use them for brainstorming a musical idea, but a song will immediately sound super cheap if the chords are more than 2-3 notes apart. Not so with that device, on which you can use the chords for finished arrangements
I'm holding off on the FM volca and model:cycles in favor of the megaFM genesis yamaha chip based FM synth. i love FM synthesis, and I use Genny as a VST to cure my addiction until the thing with knobs and sliders gets here :)
Great video! I was wondering if you can help me. I just recently received a model:cycles a few days ago and I am having one heck of a time trying to figure out how to connect a DrumBrute Impact and miniFreak to the cycles. I am very new to analog and electric gear and have no clear what I'm doing here. And I can't seem to find help on their website.
Great work here as usual , i'll be getting the model samples very shortly , because ... samples!!!! . i get your decision for the cycles , FM synthesis has so much to offer . in the affordable world, the korg volca FM is great to dive into .
This is what I thought as well (with regards to the Volca FM). Nevertheless I find it _way_ too complicated to actually configure an fm patch on the volca. Like diving through 10 sub-menus etc... Yes it's easier with a PC connection, but that takes eliminates the portability unless you carry a laptop around. It's kind of sad because I think I achieve like 2% of what the volca FM would actually be capable of...
@@bahutu802 I get what you mean. The digitone from elektron is very much in between imo. Way easier to make awesome sounds and sequences and still with a lot of creative freedom. The work flow is great as well.
I am going through this internal discussion right now. Will buy my first groovebox and after months of studying workflows on TH-cam, for me it seems the :Samples is the winner! The sample loading is not a strong argument to my reasoning as it’s not such a frequent action, or is it?
It's pretty awesome! If you're in a country that has the sale price going on right now, you still have about a day and a half from the time of me leaving this comment to pick one up at the discounted price!
Elektron does this across the board, Digitakt 8 vs Digitone, Octotrack vs MKII. sampler vs synth. I went for the samples but because I like sample workflow, but other people gel with the cycles and they do great stuff in like 0 time flat (the jam on this video for example)
Also, how'd you get the click not heard when you made your first pattern? Thx! Another question--- when you wanted Dmajor7, it made a D dominant 7... are there major 7 chords available in the M:C? Or just dominant7 and minor7? Thx again!
How do you arrange a set between track banks? How do you choose T1:123456… Then choose bank T2 For:123456…. On bank T2 I’m holding number 6 on T1 and pressing the pattern button and it’s forgetting everything from bank T1 after trying to switch to bank T2 while arranging patterns by holding their respective numbers to input a string… I get I only need to hold one of the string while putting in all the others. Changing banks resets the string.
Changing banks resets the string, correct. It just means you have to be a little more involved in the training process if you're trying to get all of your songs into one project.
Which groove box is best for a blind musician. I thaught that the Circuit Tracks was the best but you need software to get the most of it and said software isn't accessible.
I would probably say the OP-Z, as long as you aren't sampling. That's a hard one though, I've always got you in mind when I'm checking out new gear though!
I have been thinking about this a lot. I imagine the best full setup would be a multi machine setup. I actually think something like the Behringer model D (or Moog if you can afford it) would be much more accessible sound design wise as it is literally one knob per function, with no menus, no presets, and no need for any visual feedback. Coupled with a keystep for keys, and perhaps a model cycles purely for drum sounds, since the default on startup sets up tweakable drums, and a tone and chord machine without any menu diving in a predictable and intuitive way. Instead of sequencing everything, perhaps recording directly into a 4 track or 8 track Tascam would be better, since you could just play live and overdub by ear as opposed to trying to guess what step the next note should go on. So imagine, you record a drum sequence live into the cycles. Tweak till you get the sound and tempo to taste, record a few minutes of drum jamming into track 1 on the Tascam or even a loop from the cycles with knob turning for variation. Then you have a beat laid down, you could then play the model D for the bassline on track 2 live, and a lead on track 3 etc. Tweaking each patch until you get a sound you like, and even live tweaking as you play, until you build a full song recorded on the Tascam. This is just one possible idea thinking of maximum flexibility with minimum fuss and memorization. My 2 cents.
Neither the Model:Cycles or Model:Samples actually let you sample into the units. The Model:Samples lets you load samples into it from a computer via USB, but that's it.
Haha it's actually the baseline to one of my tracks "Ghost in the Galaxy," off of my op-z album "In Over My Head." You can check it out for free on my bandcamp page if you click the link in the description :)
I have the Model Samples and just got a Digitakt. Can you change whats in each track on the Model Cycles? IOW more than 1 chord track, NO DRUMS at all on other tracks. Trying to figure a way to work my Uno Drum in somewhere :) Thanks
@@FreeBeat AWESOME Thanks man. i’ll go have a peek after I watch this Digitakt video on making Random Arp Patterns. Hesitated on Cycles and Digitone because I already own a Yamaha Reface DX 4 operator FM Synth.
LMAO and FB you will LYAO because I searched for a model:cycles on ebay (of which there were many) and made an offer on one. It arrived. I was busy. I figured I'd check the firmware/OS and see if it needed upgrading (it did) but I ran into problems. It turns out I got the M:S not the M:C - hahaha. Now I'll just switch my mode of thinking for the device I actually have and you never know I might just get the M:C too. Cheers. Lee
Would love to see a tutirial vid for how to sequence external synth with model samples or cycles,has not worked for me and not found a vid that explains fully
In my opinion it is pretty versatile, but you have to put in a lot of work to get past those same sounds. I should have a video coming out with some tips on how to do this soon. Thanks for watching!
I got rid of mine fast. I ended up making exactly what you are making here. Over and over and over. It has a hard time escaping that same vibe. For an unlimited device, it sure does sound limited real fast.
It's definitely a challenge to escape those typical sounds, but it can be done. I should have a video coming out pretty soon with some tips to do just that. Thanks for watching!
@@FreeBeat so you can just buy drum and other sample packs, download them to model samples and play em as a kick and snare and such separately? pry what I need then.
They look freaking sick in my opinion. Its all personal taste. I love this alternative kinda look more than smth like an old school 808 or flashy modern roland stuff
I bought both and I'm glad I did. They're both great instruments and they complete each other beautifully when played together
Here I was getting ready to ask if you had a video going over how to actually use the chord mode, but then you got right into it. Nicely done!
Haha yup! It's not the best but it will definitely get you started. Happy jamming!
Yo Free Beat! Just picked up a Sonicware Liven XFM, delivered yesterday. After playing with the M:C for about a month, and trying this out for just ONE day.....

I love how you can add delay/reverb per track, easily, with the M:C. The Verb and Delay on the XFM is global, per-pattern.
Definitely think the M:C is the better choice. But the XFM is still really cool. And being able to actually play chords, instead of programming them in, is a huge bonus with the XFM. Then again, the chance/conditions with the M:C.... huge strength.

Would you say the minilogue xd and cycles complement each other? Been thinking of adding the xd
@@tijmen1949 They are really 2 very different instruments but mixing the unlikely is what makes our synthesizer world so much fun
@@rockhead11 that’s one of the reasons. Adding warm analog sounds, and polyphony. Bit scared the cycles drowns out next to it though
@@tijmen1949 Ok, I’ll set mine up together and see how musical it is. I’ll let you know ...probably tomorrow
Awesome, glad you love it!
Bought a second hand Squarp pyramid. Soon all my synths will have a great sequencer. 😀
Awesome!
Just picked up a mint 404 MK II for a song and break dance a few days ago so that's my sampler and it's the Cycles that I'm going to score soon.
