    Every time you post a video on this thing it just makes me want to buy it more! I keep putting it off...

      Be sure to stay on the lookout for sale prices. Towards the end of last year it went down to $249 US!

      Yep, and that was around that time that FreeBeat published a video on the Cycles and inspired by him I bought it for $249. The most joyful instrument I have in the house🙂

    You can hold a step and then hit the track buttons(t1-t6) to change the velocity quickly

      That is incredible, I had no clue hahaha. Thanks!

      @@FreeBeat I love my m:c! It's so fun and immediate. I'm constantly coming across new shortcuts.

      @@FreeBeat upon further investigation of this trick...
      if the track is melodic/diatonic, the velocity changes like it should but the note will be whatever the track button's(T1-T6) default pitch is set in the track setup menu(func+track).
      cool tho when applicable

    Totally underrated feature! I’ve been spending a lot of time with my Cycles lately after not using it for a long period. Such a fun little powerful box

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  3 года назад +2

      It's always a great feeling coming back to the cycles. The ease of its sequencer makes it immediately fun to use.

    I see you fixed your lighting! Big difference! Like I said it doesn’t have to cost a fortune, Walmart really came through for me. The education value on RUclips is invaluable! Nice job!

      It's funny, all I did was remove the two panel lights entirely 🤣

    Cool trick! ... but the outcome/effect is just as easy with parameter locking on each trig right? or am I missing the picture here?? Please correct me if I do :) Keep up the amazing videos!

    • @1bdcuda

      but for live recording I see the advantage indeed

  • @jaydeepalmer
    @jaydeepalmer 3 года назад +2

    We don't see very well, but in the general system menu, in device, you can turn the led down and it really helps 😊
    That being said, it's a nice feature! Thanks for uploading!

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  3 года назад +1

      I will give that a shot, thanks for the suggestion!

    This is great FreeBeat👍 please create and publish a whole album based on the Model:Cycles 🙂

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  3 года назад

      I will probably do this in the future. I have a single available on my bandcamp page (Link in description) that was made exclusively on the Cycles though. It's called "No Better Time," feel free to check it out!

    hi, looks like you didn't upgrade the pads to get better response. I did the mod when i got the m:c, it is not complicated.

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  3 года назад +1

      I didn't know there was a mod, but honestly I don't really have any issues with the sensitivity of the pads haha. Thanks for watching!

    It’s not underrated. It’s not rated at all.

    • @sodiumlights
      @sodiumlights 3 года назад +1

      ahhh, but 'underrated' is the clickbait of modern times, and nearly always used in the wrong context when the term should be 'over-looked/under-valued/under-appreciated. It's the new 'irony' my friend.

  • @martinsouthall
    @martinsouthall 3 года назад +1

    I keep trying to cycle (Ha!) my Cycles out of my live hardware setup in favor of newer gear, but I keep coming back to it.
    It really is a great little FM machine. Thanks for still making content around it.

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  3 года назад +1

      Yeah, I can't see there ever being a time when I completely stop using it. It's just wild how absolutely powerful it is for its size. Thanks for watching!
