Configure the Model:Cycles to send or receive MIDI clock in the settings menu (FUNC + GLOBAL). Tracks 1-6 receive MIDI notes on channels 1-6 respectively, with channel 10 reserved for auto-channel.
How do I save and load patterns on the Model:Cycles?
Press FUNC + REC to save the current pattern. To load, use the pattern select knobs to choose the desired pattern, then press YES. Patterns are saved to the currently selected project.
What's the easiest way to create a basic beat on the Model:Cycles?
Select a track, hold REC and press the desired steps on the keyboard to input notes; then adjust the LENGTH parameter (FUNC + LENGTH) to determine the pattern's length and TEMPO (FUNC + TEMPO) to adjust the overall speed.
My sounds are cutting off abruptly when I change patterns. How do I fix this?
