Common Elektron Model:Cycles Questions
How do I sync the Model:Cycles to other MIDI devices like a drum machine or DAW?
In the settings menu (FUNC + GLOBAL), configure MIDI Sync Send and Receive to match your setup. Ensure both devices are transmitting/receiving clock signals on the same MIDI channel.
How do I save and recall patterns I've created on the Model:Cycles?
Press [REC] then select the desired pattern slot using the parameter knobs, then press [YES/SAVE]. To recall, press [PTN] and then select the pattern using the parameter knobs.
How do I add swing or shuffle to my sequence on the Model:Cycles?
Hold [FUNC] and turn the [TEMPO] knob. This adjusts the global swing amount, affecting the timing of all tracks in the pattern.
My Model:Cycles sounds are cutting out or distorting unexpectedly, what's happening?
Check the levels of each track, the master volume, and the drive/distortion parameters for excessive gain. Lowering these levels should resolve the issue.
What are the 'Machine' types on the Model:Cycles and what do they do?
The Model:Cycles features six unique FM-based 'Machines' (Kick, Snare, Metal, Perc, Tone, Chord) each optimized for different sounds; experiment with the parameters on each to explore their sonic range.
