Modded-Cycles: 6-track USB multi-out, Syntakt engine port & Web Flasher

[Alan Codger]

Need a video about it ! Anyone? Seen the Sample MOD and with Slicer and Performace FX is pretty SICK! Really want to hear the Syntakt engine running on M:C

No big deal but I did encounter my first crash using this. When I was messing about with the fx when I turned up the flanger it caused the cycles to hang. I had every fx running on it and the flanger was the last one I turned up. I suspect it was just a bit too much at once! Still no complaints from me, it's turned the cycles into a much more useable machine than it has ever been.

The guy did say you’ve got to keep your eye on the CPU use, it’s easy to overdo it as cycles is now running on the edge of the CPU’s capabilities

is it possible to flash this firmware to modelamples? if not, will something similar be released for modelamples?

The Model Samples can have the Model Cycles firmware installed on it using the various methods and you can then install the mods supplied.

Not the first poster but I'd love to keep M:S as the base unit. It's the unpopular stepchild but imo it has a lot to offer, even with TG's amazing sampler. That and the fact that I have a full live set of music backed up Id rather not redo. Might just buy a second unit for the mods. 

There are subtle musical things in the M:S firmware that the TG firmware doesn't quite nail imo, automation of the loop and reverse functions, sample preview (biggest missing thing), weird tricks like assigning pressure to sample start, messing with end points without triggering a reverse, etc. the smooth lp/hp transition of the filter is missing too.

It's really small stuff and I'm amazed at the new modes, attack parameter, stereo, resampling, etc. Not dissing the TG firmware in any way it is truly amazing, but a sampler is really hard to nail as an instrument and M:S is that for me. 

It seems that somehow loading up the Cycles machines on the M:S would be even more seamless as they are pretty self contained. or if someone could patch in the exact sampling engine from M:S to M:C we'd benefit from the tight UI/UX optimization that the team at Elektron worked hard on. And it could grow from there.
