The Model:Cycles is Still a Great Budget Groovebox!
The Model:Cycles is Still a Great Budget Groovebox! Six years after it's release, the Elektron Model:Cycles is still a great budget groovebox! On top of it being able to make some awesome FM tones with it's synth engine, it's also the most affordable way to access the renowned Elektron Sequencer! That means you get the same per step editing power as pieces of gear that cost more than four times what the Model:Cycles does, alongside the temporary save, control, and many more features!
