Thank you Jeremy!

There are several videos that claim to be beginner guides but this is the only true beginner guide. Thanks so much for this.

This makes me want to get a model cycles again.

Let's play Elektron Model:Cycles together like we used to when we were kids!

Many thanks EZBOT, this is the best tutorial for the Cycles that I've sen. Lots of really useful tips and info about how the device works.I feel like I'm well on my way to being a Cycles maestro.

I've spent about 6hrs watching this 30min video. So freaken great! Thank you!

hands down the best tutorial on cycles

From one teacher to another, you are a great teacher. Giving students small nuggets up front to get excited, before you deep dive, is essential.

a quickstart guide that it's actually quick and not a 2 h video, good job and thannk you!

hey- i just wanted to say thanks for this video. this was really helpful, especially considering that other videos did not show many of these features clearly and the manual is one of the worst i have ever read. its a great bit of gear but i was getting frustrated with it until i watched this. good on you!

Brilliant video - makes more sense to me than the days I’ve spent trying to figure the manual - well done

Fantastic content, easily one of the most informative ones that I have seen. Will try out a bunch of new things/recap some stuff I had forgotten about tomorrow. Many thanks!

A great help, sat here sat afternoon, pausing and then going through each step, thank you!

hands down best tutorial ive seen, many thanks EZBOT, will be following all your tutorials from now on

That's a great introduction to this hot little machine - it certainly cleared up a bunch of things for me. Keenly anticipating the next tutorial (I hope there will be one).

Wow, excellent tutorial! 💯 Thank you very much for your work!

Amazing vid mate! Thank you so much for the quality of your content I’m learning so much about elektron machines with you ❤

A great tutorial. You have a clear way of explaining things, a very easy subscription.

Best Model Cycles Tutorial over youtube ! Thanks a lot for this video

Thank you for the outstanding demo. Hope to see more Cycles posts from you. Super essential and helpful for sure Cheers!

Yet another perfect tutorial. Love the calm, chill vibe... excellent info. You need more subs, my friend.

Muchísimas gracias! Muy bien explicado, el mejor vídeo para principiantes que encontré en KZread!

Great video! It’s an excellent real-world, practical demonstration.

Amazing video, thank you very much! The best I've seen so far

Thanks mate. Always insightful and easy to follow.

Really appreciate you doing this tutorial. Just got a Model Cycles {my first experience with an Elektron Sound Machine} so after reading the Manual + playing around with the knobs and push-buttons I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Just began my Modular journey 1.5 years ago and LoVE it though it's frustrating at times... I come from playing mostly Acoustic Instruments, still play Drums, Jazz, Break-Beat, etc. So this video was extremely helpful to me and I'm quite excited to see/hear your next tutorial for the Model:Cycles.💡🎵🔥🌌👌

Excellent. Well made tutorial. I have a Digitakt and I found this extremely informative. It is the best model:cycles video I’ve watched. The only problem is that I want one... now!

Great tutorial, very clear and useful. Thanks mate.

Great tutorial mate! Excellent, clear communication and you certainly zip along 😀

Excellent video. Very clear teaching manner. Subscribed.

Super useful guide, thank you for making the video!!

By far the most useful tutorial on this device, at least that I’ve come across

amazing, this is exactly what i needed!

Great video - thanks!

thank you so much! I managed to pick up a model cycles and model samples for 200 quid for the pair on a whim and they've just been sitting on my studio desk because it felt so long to try and start making something out the gate and use the menus! Can't wait to try it out when I get back from work today.

Thanks for this video, learned so much from it. Really clear and entertaining :)

This was awesome, thank you 😊

Nice tutorial. Thanks!

I have to commend on a truly well put together tutorial/video. I’ve been thinking about getting this machine (or the model:cycles) for a while, but because of the Elektron workflow been a bit hesitant! You’ve done a great job of demystifying the work structure of this box! 🙏🏽👍🏽🇬🇧

So great ! Thanks !

Really well presented info. Just got my Cycles, so this is perfect. Thanks 👍🏻

Love your video. Immediately subscribed. My buddy let me borrow his models cycles for a week and this video literally let me just dive in and jam. Great way to introduce this beastly machine and entry ways to Elektron. For I have my eye on the Digitone and Syntakt now xD Love your grooves and how you explain all the parameter and lite intro to trigs for I am shocked how powerful this small box is!!!!

this was really helpful. thanks!

nice and clear tuto to begin with, thx a lot

wow this video helped me a lot. super rad.

really awesome thank you

Estou a adorar a maneira como explicas a máquina! Muito bem explicado!

Yeah. Fair play. This is an excellent video.

Super good content, thank you 🙏

superb! thanks so much!!!

Great video, there were a few bits and tricks in there, I didn't know about

These are the best way to take anything you like, luv & learned on other grooveboxs, especially Korg Electribes... & apply it to a Elektron product too. The Models Cycles as a first step in acquiring & getting into Elektrons to learn about... Is far better & cheaper to decide trying Elektron products imo. The Model Samples will then become a also cheap Elektron to pair with it after. U don't have to have a big budget for simply acquiring both eventually, & knowing u don't have to buy big, to get big results still from these cheaper Elektron boxes. Using & learning from a Cycles will also make others realise they should, or can spend more... on the Digi's etc, instead of going for buying Model Samples as a next stage of buying into Elektron products too. Cycles is a perfect & worthy product to combine with a Digitone. Anyone with a Digitone should buy Cycles to use with it too. They are both impressive on there own, to own... But when used to create patterns in combo u will get a very similar result as one can from the Syntakt. The Digitone can do better FM tracks & sounds than the FM based synthesis of Syntakt. But Syntakt can take the Cycles machines & synthesis further, & one can spend more time & effort into shaping Cycles sounds more, in ways the Digitakt or Digitone also can. So the one Syntakt box, or combo of Digitone & Cycles... Are equal/opposites in that way. The Syntakt then has those 4 analogue parts... Which are a bit more flexible than 4 tracks of having some Rytm machines & drums etc to use.

"I dig it! Our pattern is coming alone")))

Thanks. Lots of detail.

We really need trig panning on the models , I know you can use lfos but it would be nice to have like on takt & tone cheers mate.

A good tip with Cycles to make panning automation & variations per step... Is to use velocity as a control for pan. It really opens up the Cycles to be more interesting when panning creativity in the stereo field, for better patterns as a result. I would just parameter lock volume/distortion knob events, to replace velocity as a normal use for levels on steps... & set up velocity instead for panning any steps. I'll explain how to properly set up velocity for panning if readers of this need to ask. But basically u want 0 velocity to be the value of either hard left or right pan position, & 127 value is hard panning of the opposite position of that... Any of the values in-between obviously become the rest of the l & r panning positions in the stereo field. Value of 64 is centre pan.

Hello, is there any way to save pattern for each tracks seperately ? For example i want to start with track 1 closed hihat and save it on pattern 1 and then change the rhythm a little bit and save it to pattern 2 as a transition, is that possible or we have to save patterns for all tracks chained together ?

Hey EZBOT ! Cool tuto, you learn to me some new tricks... Thanks for that :) I have a new one for you : push function + arrow/pad menu, its a very useful stuff which give more mojo ;) See you around !

Hop I can figure this out now!?

U should do a video with a good demo of the Digitone & Cycles as a fm synth & drum combo... Many people lusting after, or saving up $ chasing after the Syntakt. There will be people who already own a Digitone or Cycles... & not fully realise how similar patterns & results can be created on Syntakt, that can also be produced via a Digitone/Cycles combo too...?

my unit only does a fill when i press track with the page button... why is that? great vid btw

Does the elektron guitar pick do tone locks?

I don’t have a blooper pedal but I believe you’ll need to convert your MIDI to a 1/4” cable. I am sure there is a tutorial on it here in the KZread abyss. In the cycles you just turn on sync out in the settings menu

Imo... it's a absolute gem of a electro dub drum box. The Elektron lfo's can be step/trig locked on any step & sound in a tracks sequence... So u can modulate heaps of wobbles, wibbles & fizzles into things.

is this thing worthy of using on an album or is it too generic

Totally worthy of using on an album. It's flagship FM engine in a smaller body with the full Elektron sequencer.
