Model:Cycles Tips & Tricks Thread

This is based in how Volca Drum works, and is the way I am going to use it in the studio, not as a grove box. As I say in the studio because I find it easier to multitrack it this way

Volca drum has two layers per part, right?

I am going to use M:C as a 3 layer two part with individual outs FM synth

Model cycles has the ability to hard pan without sound leaking to the other side, you can even use delay but not reverb this way.

So for example, you think Metal machine is thin?
Set track 4, 5 and 6 hard panned to the left all with midi channel and tweak the knobs each track on the M:C. Beautiful, a 3 layer metal machine, same with kicks. All 3 sequenced from same midi track in Ableton.

You can mix them up(kick, snare perc, 3chord machines, whatever

You can save this 2 part/3 layer kits as patterns or kits in M:C. Having so much project memory I will leave a few projects just for that.
