The Best Sequencer of Any Budget Groovebox! (In my Opinion)

The Best Sequencer of Any Budget Groovebox! (In my Opinion)

Today I'm talking about why I think that the Elektron Model:Cycles and Model:Samples have the best sequencer of any budget groovebox! For just under $300 USD, both of these boxes provide more sequencer features than anything else in the price range, and actually have more features than even some more expensive boxes as well! The ease of which parameter locks, pattern resolution, copy and paste features, and so much more are implemented easily make the Cycles and Samples stand out in a crowd! Enjoy the video :)

Im so used to my Rm1x, but i could really use parameter locks and probability. I may have to snag a samples.

Love the electron workflow, I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but I love it.

[rockhead]

I agree 100%. Not only is the workflow great but it is also a blast. And you can come up with grooves that are only possible on this machine. Combined with the Microfreak, it will take you to places no man has been before.

[epigon]

100% agree with you. It would be the best of the best with separate tracks output

[DavidDeLuge]

I know you didn't get on with the Circuit Tracks but the Circuit Rhythm is awesome. I find it so easy to make complete songs on.

[smoketoad]

How do you know what notes you are playing? That part confuses me.

[tommyk]

Wonder how the sequencer stacks up against the Korg SQ-64

[srbbird]

Hello. I have a question that no video I have found on this item is answering. can it sequence a external sound module via an external keyboard via midi thru?

[xisotopex]

I am more curious as to what you think about the zoom as far as stand alone music production and performance?

[Gwyn]

On top of all that, the Model:Samples got sample locking per step through an update, so you're not limited to the 6 samples on the T buttons anymore. Absolute monster of a unit

[difflocktwo]

how many different parameters can you lock per step?

[edtuckerartist]

Was thinking of saving for a model samples but that tiny screen puts me off. I think it's probably a Polyend tracker for me in the distant future, will take longer to save for though as it's around double the price.

The cycles has basically made everything else feel redundant to me. The sequencer is so powerful. So many steps, so many options.. I can’t go back to the Volcas now. I’d buy another device with a different style sound in a heartbeat

[SonicVibe]

Why I own both lol samples and cycles, I can use my iPhone to sample to samples Now with an app, also have Arturia 🎹 og not the 37 but it makes them better. maybe get 37 one day just can’t justify features over og price, but my og ver the Limited addition black one it would match your MPC one LOL

[FuZZbaLLbee]

It’s a shame the Elektron Rytm is so expansive since I do like the Elektron sequencer

[GregDixson]

Super powerful sequencer, just a pity there's no Song mode or pattern chaining

good info, but i hate fast baby hands
