Overview

Craft your sound with the lightweight, fully equipped Elektron Model:Cycles groovebox. With six Machines and hands-on control, it’s an inspiring tool to create new rhythms and melodies.

Bring your sound with you. The Elektron Model:Cycles is an FM-based groovebox that offers six machine engines to sculpt your sound. Better yet, it’s lightweight and super portable, so you can take it to your next gig or settle into the studio for a writing session, or do both in the same day. 

Define the Formless

The six Machines of the digital FM engine are unique to Model:Cycles. The Machines contain both percussive and melodic synths, allowing you to make full and varied compositions. The four core Synth Controls put the tools of sound sculpting right in front of you, altering the behavior of each Machine differently and letting you push them to the limit.

12 Dedicated Knobs

The Model:Cycles’ twelve dedicated knobs let you twist each Machine far and wide. This offers wild, unexpected results waiting to be discovered. Easily snap back to normality, so that the only restriction is your imagination. Elektron Model: Cycles’ powerful sequencer gives you the freedom to record every move live. Or, program the sounds and parameters of your composition one step at a time.

Light-Weight, Heavy Sound

Whether you use it as a versatile live instrument or as a mobile groovebox, exploration has rarely felt so convenient and unimpeded. With Model:Cycles, you can pick up and craft full-blown compositions anytime, anywhere.
