If anybody at Elektron is listening - if you are going to do anything else cut down - the digitone without the sequencer but with 16 voices and more control knobs/sliders would surely be a hit. Not everybody wants/needs the sequencer stuff and the digitone fm synth architecture + effects is one of the nicest/easiest to use implementations I’ve seen for fm.

I've got a fantastic VSTi called Donk Machine which does just that, and I'd be interested if the MODEL:CYCLES is a significant upgrade to that, or the same sounds in a nice box? If you did a deep dive into the bass part of this device I would certainly watch it.

That jam at 5:10 is SUCH a bop 🎶 I returned my circuit do to the inability to turn off specific midi send channels (I use a few omni receiving synths). It probably still would have been great for jamming DAWless, but 1/4 of the tracks being useless in my setup kind of ruined it for me. I'm not terribly upset though, 'cause this was my backup choice and I think its unique character will inspire very different music from using my plugins 😁

@@DarrenSangita Sorry - I didn't mean that the quality was comparable... only the fact that they both use encoders instead of potentiometers. Encoders might require you to spin the knob several complete rotations to change a setting from its minimum to maximum values. Single-turn pots on the other hand have a rotation usually between 270-300 degrees. For most features (especially for analog synthesis), I feel more in control of the sound with single-turn pots.
@PerryCodes

One other thing I should add... unlike most scenarios with potentiometers, there is usually some kind of software-based algorithm involved with digital encoders. That means the feel between one implementation and another can be vastly different. I should probably at least experience the Elektor knobs before simply writing them off...

Elektron should think about an OT 2 (not MK3) beside building cheap Groovebox starter kits as re-use of existing devices (Digitakt, Digitone). I know the OT MK2 is nearly perfect but more effects, a part per pattern, sample randomization, Pattern generator, Easier sampling,.., easier Looper, Step. components like OP-Z, a synth engine included, sample changing /layering,...

"it's actually very simple" *Holds two buttons to do some menu diving* But that does look useful for people with limited space. I'd been looking for something to capture the feel of my EMX which I foolishly sold, this might really do it.

The menu diving really isnt bad, looking for presets is the only cumbersome part

Hi Bo !! 🙋👧 As always, good to see you! Many hoped for something like a new generation of ELEKTRON MONOMACHINE, but here Cycles came out! 😉

Wouldn’t this actually be a great addition to a Digitone? I mean, you let the Cycles do all the percussion and the Digitone all the melodic parts!

Actually makes perfect sense. More tracks, less voices for percussion on M:C. Less tracks, more voices for melody on Digitone.

Polyphony is a standard feature on cheap keyboards but it's a luxury on groove boxes. What's up with that? 😑

What is the real difference to the Digitone?

Oh, there is not that much of a similarity besides the sequencer tbh. Maybe they sound a bit similar but its really not meaningful to compare the two. Digitone offers more polyphony and deep FM synthesis.

Hey man! Can you tell me if the sequencer can have different lenghts for each individual track, or is it global? Thanks
@BoBeats

Yes. Global AND track lengths are possible to set 1 step - 64 steps. And you can also do different time signatures per track

As fugly as it is I think this excites me more than Maschine because it isn't software dependant. I don't like the looks but the sound is fantastic for something in that size and price range. I'll be getting one at some point in the near future.

I love my Maschine (and jam and s49 kontrol) - but I almost treat that as an extension of my computer (which is a desktop so not portable at all). This kind of stuff (and the semi-modular synths I've been playing with) are the complete "unplugged" variants of that. However, between this and the circuit I'm leaning towards the circuit due honestly to its battery powered sit on the couch potential.

@@Daphoid Do you know that if you power Maschine via the USB with no data connection it goes into MIDI CC mode and will send and receive data through the MIDI port? I've been using it with my Elektribe SX for a couple years now and it works great. That's where I got the idea to use it with this Electron.
