STORY TIME!
Let us explore all the ways one can make groove, and why the new Model:Cycles has made me one happy boy. This video is meant to be a little sampling buffet of the wide world of percussion, and all the textures and approaches that are available.
If you're interested in buying the Model:Cycles, this is an affiliate link. I get a small % of the sales if you use it: www.pntrs.com/t/TUJGR0tHS0JHS...
0:36 - Meet playdate
1:09 - Modular
2:37 - Found sound
3:18 - Found sound from scratch
4:26 - Analog style
6:12 - Listening back
6:39 - FM
7:44 - Model:Cycles
8:34 - Jam!
This is an unsponsored video. Elektron were kind enough to send me the Model:Cycles, but with no commitment or influence on the outcome of this video.
I. Just. Like. It.
I think FM is a really unique and rewarding way to mold sound, and I'm really enjoying the renaissance it's going through.

Thank you!

Absolutely loved it man! So interesting to see all these thoughts on different pieces of gear. Seriously amazing. Also video was on point as usual! Loved seeing you and your friends react to the music - definitely still has that cute/quirky knobs quality about it. Fantastic job!

@AndrewBeveridge461 4 года назад

Please don't take this the wrong way, but this is actually the first time I've gotten excited about one of your videos. Less...impersonal.

This is my preference yes

@willielaz1573 4 года назад

I have watched this video 20 times, it’s the reason I bought cycles and it’s what’s keeping me sane waiting more than a week for it to come

@dougc84 4 года назад

Cycles looks like something you get hooked up to when you're dying in a hospital bed. But it sure sounds good.

@am5790 4 года назад

terribly blah design and color scheme but so musically toned.....tempted despite having a rhtym mil and octa.......

@designator7402 4 года назад

It lives in this awkward space where it is ugly as sin, but very useful.

@EggZema_ 4 года назад

Im born in the 80’s and this looks a an MS DOS computer, which is nice

@KnightMirkoYo 3 года назад

I honestly enjoy its looks. Fits perfectly with my 80s IBM keyboard!

@DetroitMicroSound 3 года назад

It just looks like electronic lab equipment, to me. -Which I like.

@creamabdul-jabbar 4 года назад

@robertsyrett1992 4 года назад

Honestly, Digitakt is life. Looking forward to trying Model: Cycles.

@MusicalDistractions 3 года назад

This was such a lovely video. Thank you for making it! And a lovely little departure. Splendid!

@sordel5866 4 года назад

Hey, that model Knobs finally found to stand in for him reads the script surprisingly well.

@Daybreak_Enterprises_TV_ 4 года назад

@Cesiumswimsuit 3 года назад

Cycles is one of my favorite purchases of 2020, appreciate the departure and focus on improv grooves 🤘🏻

@ancientmartianunderground6413 4 года назад

Thank you Mr. Knobs. As usual you have enlightening and entertaining stuff to show us. I have always been influenced by your work and my music has improved simply by choosing my gear wisely as you have taught me. Thanks Again

@e-conrecords4665 2 года назад

I have to agree with this video. Of all the gear I’ve purchased over the last couple of years, the Cycles has quickly become a go-to favourite. This thing is such a joy & so immediate. The Cycles is like one massive sweet spot. 🥰

@amuletsmusic 4 года назад

this video is making me reconsider percussion...and my lack of it

This is a great format, killer job!

@riffswamp 4 года назад

thanks for taking us on this journey!

@kelang4344 4 года назад

Great video! Thanks for co-signing my Cycles purchase. I was just starting to give up on scoring a Nord Drum 2 (FM drum synth, discontinued and now v rare and spendy) when Elektron released Cycles. Can't wait to dive into it and get my long awaited FM fix! Might eventually pair mine with a KMI Boppad to see what pairing a unique controller might pull out of it. Well done on the different video style.

@bashaenraets9156 4 года назад

That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks!

@justinbrunkow 4 года назад

These are great! Definitely keep doing them.

@tunas5666 2 года назад

@dogwalk3 4 года назад

9:00 ten seconds of bliss. favorite sounds i've heard in a long while.

@Ferrichrome 4 года назад

I enjoy the new style! And keep doing synth stuff as well that's my jam! It's funny, I was just thinking about percussion synths and drum machines, I'm looking for one to buy. And then you did a video on it haha. Very nice!

@hghalo 3 года назад

I love the journey this video takes us on

@TheGreenKingdom 4 года назад

Great vid, and nice to see ya! Jam at the end is a bit reminiscent of I am Robot and Proud. Cycles sounds awesome!

@DevonBlueWhitaker 4 года назад

Really love love love the new approach here

@ian84 4 года назад

I liked this! Keep it up with the talking head bits. I enjoy your text only videos, but sometimes I just want to listen, so voiceover is great too.

@LauraSquirrel 4 года назад

Yeah. I think that he should mix both approaches. Do some in this style and the older, text style. Keeps people guessing.

@stefanridding7606 4 года назад

Been using the digitakt for a few months and just got the cycles. Love both machines. The elektron work flow is just perfect me. Glad you're digging the cycles too!

@soundisles 4 года назад

Great creative problem solving. Inspiring to see you not get stuck or blocked by your gear. Eyeing a Cycles now for sure!

@Andy8Tran 4 года назад

I was looking at buying an M:C, and now that your video is up I'll have to hurry before they sell out locally. Thanks a lot, nerd 🤓

@Andy8Tran 4 года назад

OK. I bought it. Thanks a lot, Knobs.

@evanpincus2203 4 года назад

Hey, it’s that guy from Facebook (it’s Evan P. here, hello!). Didn’t expect to see you in this here comments section! Howdy! And yes the M:C sounds fantastic, I was at the LA launch event and it rocked the house.

@DocBolus 4 года назад

Lovely video. I love a bit of FM synthesis, when I first learned about it I could not get my head round the range of crazy sounds and how some people were able to get some really musical results. I love the idea of having a limited FM range which helps with a creative flow rather than the sheer crazy which can make your brain melt. The only complaint is that this is yet another bit of gear to go on an endless shopping list.

@mattypuddingfingers6562 3 года назад

I love the way your almost surprised to find yourself talking to a camera but have what appears to be a very nice vlogging camera set up and great lighting.

@psmaulehlien 4 года назад

Hey man, great descriptions. Nice work.

@LesProductionsZvon 3 года назад

Very good insight of your creative process, thanks!

@joelbechtolt 2 года назад

You did a really great job with this video. Just stumbled on the channel and appreciate the work you do. Makes me wanna try something I’d never been interested in, FM drums. You did a nice job exploring the nuance and dynamics of that method. Dig.

@AlexPriceMusician 4 года назад

Awesome dude. Excited to hear more of this

@briannhinton 3 года назад

I liked the style. Thanks for sharing.

@BrendonBrooks 4 года назад

Good to finally see the man behind the madness.

@hasan7786 4 года назад

I was on that quest a few months ago and found the Synthstrom Deluge. Just fit into so many slots, quick sampling, grid sequencing, building layers upon layers then arranging them all at light speed. The losers (but still loved) Akai Force, Op-1, Sp404 and the Organelle.

@dylanmonaghan7623 4 года назад

I really enjoy your content it evokes a utopian production vibe that is so intoxicating

@timijandrpicminatti7506 3 года назад

Very wholesome recounting of the journey and ending 👌

@firesailstudios1003 4 года назад

Next level man! We get to hear your voice and see your face? WHOA! haha JK. This is definitely different and your other style of videos will live on forever being appreciated as the art that they are. This is also at least equally as great... I only have a few modules and will use them more, but its been very limited. It always feels like a lot of work for what I end up getting out of it, but I think that's all on me. Cheers to the new exploration of your video style and content creation!

@Two-Eyed_Boy Год назад

So this was one of the first synth/hardware videos that captured my imagination some 2 years ago. At the time, every box presented seemed so quirky and odd. I'm much more familiar with them now between playing several hands on, or enjoying when others in the community do! Still an enjoyable video to revisit!!

@Mibbzz 3 года назад

@this_connor_guy 4 года назад

I tried to get my hands on an Elektron Cycles, but they all sold out! I ended up falling back in love with my DX200. There's a more immediate sense of working with FM with that one. Plus you get the individual amen break samples. Gotta love that!

@nightmaretronica 4 года назад

Not only a great overview of digital drum percussion but the best demo I've seen of the cycles. Was abit of tease using the ottobit and not using the stutter/sequencer on it!

@pixithemis 4 года назад

First shot is actually Knob's face Oh MY GLOB what is even happening

@t-fonk 4 года назад

hahaha I love your demeanor. Very cool video :)

@dassenpooper 4 года назад

For those looking to not spend electron prices for an FM-based drum machine, the Volca Drum is a very neat and largely overlooked option. Easy to use and has a ton of sound design possibility

@josephwright5921 4 года назад

dassenpooper Yes, there are some crazy sounds lurking in that box

@andrewknox9360 3 года назад

Hey nice to see your handsome face Knobs! I'm currently looking into drum machines, etc. so this video (like so many of yours) came at the right time. :)

I have no idea what this video was about, but I get your vibe. Dope is much better these days.

@donaldpriola1807 4 года назад

Hey, good job on your video! I really enjoyed that you didn't emphasize specs, and talked more about how a tool fits a particular vibe.

@aethro 4 года назад

i just love this video so much. saludos te quiero mucho

@warius1 4 года назад

Akemie’s Taiko was the first module I bought, thanks to mr Knobs. Got me into modular. That’s cool. But I sold it because i couldn’t get over the fact it does not have 6 algorithms like ALM says, it has 4 (3 & 5 and 4 & 6 are the same is what I recall).

@nikitafly4188 4 года назад

f*ck, i know that i will miss your old type of video, but this one is soo nice! I really love to see your channel grows love you

@ageshero 4 года назад

Ah shiz, i didnt even realize this was knobs until half way through the video. Im like "Why is this so visually pleasing?" and im like "WHO MADE THIS" annnd its knobs, because, knobs.

@busyak 4 года назад

dude you have such a style and sound. I love that you not only nerd out about shit but when you jam you can always describable identify that it’s you, ya know? music, not just gear. cycles fucking rules btw

@kosmanaught4400 4 года назад

I want to repeat the five and a half seconds or so, from 2:39 to 2:45, forever and ever. Such beeyouteefool sounds inside my earhead. Thank you for allowing me to experience them. Oh, and also...nice face. :)
