Sampling the Model:Cycles!

Sampling the Model:Cycles!
The Model:Cycles is one of my favorite grooveboxes, however, I've long felt that the snare drum machine is lacking in overall effectiveness. So today, I want to sample the snare drum from the Model:Cycles into the Polyend Tracker to see if it can be beefed up at all. Let's see how two of my favorite devices work together! Enjoy the video :)

Loved the end result after the slicing. So many fun options.

[@FreeBeat]

Definitely, thanks for watching!

[@TrickmanTerry]

You made the Model Cycles sound better! Way to go, Polyend Tracker! 😁

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks!

[@wiggesobk]

Yes the end result was super nice!

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you!

polyend tracker will be a great piece of gear long term, actually got to try a dirtywave m8 recently, decided to keep my tracker and sold the m8...both great but the buttons and screen on the polyend are so nice

[@FreeBeat]

I'm really interested in the M8, what are your thoughts and feelings on it?

[@matthewwilson3673]

@@FreeBeat Great device, great synths, portable, solid build....not enough screen and buttons for me. the polyend tracker just has a button for everything and its instant, the m8 you have to learn menu pages which isn't bad but its not instant like the tracker

[@Alexrsa4]

Hi, couple of questions Which mixer you use for both machines? Which brand of speakers use? Regards

[@FreeBeat]

My mixer/recording for the videos is the Zoom Livetrak L-12 (linked in the description). I actually don't use speakers, I only run headphones. Thanks for watching!

Polyend Tracker is a warlock!

[@FreeBeat]

Absolutely!

I really want to try the Model:Cycle (mainly because of your channel). I like the OP-Z too. It tick pretty much all the boxes. The main draw back? Build quality. I hope TE will give us a field version (build like a tank). I will buy it on a heartbeat.
Great video as usual Mr FreeBeat. Inspire me to do something similar on M8. ✌️🎶

[@FreeBeat]

Yeah I'd be really interested in an OP-Z Field! Thanks for watching :)

[@SonicVibe]

I’d so take a machine in between the model cycles and the syntakt

[@FreeBeat]

Same!

[@rayderrich]

I am sure if there is ever going to be a Baby Beat it will be called Fill ;-)

[@FreeBeat]

....lol

You forgot to sample the kick snare. 😉
