"We say...
A pre-owned Elektron Model:Cycles in very good condition. It has no original packaging but comes with its USB cable and power supply

Manufacturer's description

Scale angles dense and jagged, glide over plains vast and fluid or sink into mists of dissonance. To model is to shape the formless. Model:Cycles is a six-track FM-based groovebox that brings exploring into the heart of sound sculpting. With six unique machines in one lightweight unit, you can effortlessly mold rhythm and melody across the digital spectrum using instant, tactile controls. Exploration made attainable.

The six machines of the digital FM engine cover both percussive and melodic synths, allowing you to make full, varied compositions. The four core synth controls put the tools of sound sculpting right in front of you, altering the behavior of each machine differently and letting you push them to the limit. Every sound has a start, where will you take it?

Insane Cover: U96 - DAS BOOT (ft. CoreVault Soundpack) ~ all synth, no samples!

video upload by Catenation aka Dissonant Witchcraft

Original below.

"Get CoreVault: https://dissonantwitchcraft.com/
So Close It Triggers Content ID. This is a full reconstruction of “Das Boot” by U96, using synthesis only. This reconstruction is so close to the original that YouTube’s system identifies it as the original recording. No post-processing, jsut the stereo-out.

✔️ No samples
✔️ No loops
✔️ No stems
✔️ No external audio
✔️ No Mixing
✔️ No Post Processing

Every sound you hear was built using the Digitone II’s hybrid synthesis engine (FM, virtual analog, supersaw).
This is a fully synthesized, manually programmed sound recreation — not a copy of the master.

'Das Boot' remains one of the most iconic early techno tracks, inspired by the film Das Boot and known for its hypnotic motif and driving energy. This is an exploration of how far pure synthesis can go — and how accurately a track can be reconstructed without using any recorded source material. Reverse-Engineering, recreating the sequencing and grooves, matching the mix and so forth.

the audio dump - sep7em // Analog Four mk2 + Nina

video upload by the audio dump

"New to the studio is a Melbourne Instruments Nina. The Analog Four mk2 is still playing the central role, but the Nina is contributing 2 patches to the music here.

This was music that came to me rather serendipitously, so while not typical of what I would post here, I did want to share it despite it maybe not being as accessible as other posts. Odd meter + fairly niche gear + no real drum track will limit itself with who ends up listening. But if you're someone who does listen and enjoy it, thank you.

"I went to pull out my Korg ESX-1... and well... it's dead. Took it to a tech who also said it's dead. I'm going to try one more thing to see if I can get it working... we'll see. For now, I've thrown my Korg EMX-1 into the foray for drums since it can do mostly the same things. However, I forgot that the drum parts can't go through the filters. That's so dumb. What was Korg thinking? Makes no sense. Oh well. That's what I've got. I'd have actually expanded this track but couldn't because the next pattern in the EMX was something I didn't want to lose, so I just stuck to this one.

Loop Samples Without Clicks on Syntakt 1.40, Digitakt & Every Sampler

video upload by Sineway

"Loop points that click are one of the most frustrating things in sampling - and one of the easiest to fix once you know how. In this video I show you a simple crossfade technique in Audacity that produces seamless, click-free loops every single time. No plugins, no special tools - just a free tool and a workflow that works.

I record the source sound straight from the Novation Peak into Audacity, build the loop, and then export in the right format for each device - mono/16-bit/48kHz for Syntakt 1.40 and the original Digitakt, and stereo/24-bit/48kHz for Digitakt II. The difference in the final result is exactly what you'd expect - and worth hearing.

The technique itself is sampler-agnostic. Whether you're on an Elektron box, an SP-404, an MPC, or anything else, the principle is the same: get the loop right before it ever reaches the hardware.

"Window rattling sub bass. SubBass ToolKit is available now: www.goldbaby.co.nz/subbass.html"

"Sub bass is a mainstay of many electronic music genres. Drum & Bass, Dub, Hip Hop, Dub Step, Techno, Trap, etc. It’s a sound that you feel as well as hear. This pack contains a wide range of floor-shaking, window-rattling sub-bass sounds.

Made with vintage and modern synths and drum machines. Recorded and processed with tasty high-end outboard.

With patches for Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and TAL-Sampler, MPC/Force. Well-organised and labelled files also make it easy to use in other software and hardware.

Some of the gear used: Roland SH-101, Roland Juno 6, Roland MKH-80, Korg MS-20, Roland TR-808, 8Raw8, Elektron Syntakt, Moog GrandMother, Thermionic Fat Bustard II Valve mixer, Empirical Labs Fatso, Electrodyne 511, ez1073-500."

Syntakt 1.40 update | Drum n Bass

video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"The new Elektron Syntakt 1.40 update opens up some really interesting creative possibilities, so I decided to take it for a spin with a Jungle / Drum & Bass session built around the legendary Amen Break.

In this session I’m layering chopped Amen break fragments with additional sampled percussive elements, then shaping the groove using the Syntakt’s sequencing and modulation tools. The goal wasn’t to recreate classic jungle exactly, but to explore how the Syntakt’s hybrid digital/analog engines can push those rhythms into new territory.

I’m also using several of my custom presets from my Syntakt West Kept Secrets and Formless Sound Packs, which add evolving textures, bass layers, and percussive machines that blend nicely with breakbeat programming.

One of the things I love about the Syntakt is how quickly you can move from an idea to a full performance. With the new update, the workflow feels even tighter for live rhythmic experimentation.

If you're into Jungle, Drum & Bass, IDM, or experimental rhythm programming, this session might give you some ideas for pushing the Syntakt further.

Syntakt 1.40 – 7 Power-Ups That Completely Redefine It

video upload by Sineway

"Syntakt firmware 1.40 just dropped - and yes, it plays samples now. But that's not the real story.

After spending serious time with this firmware, I found 7 power-ups that completely change what this machine is capable of. We're talking new oscillator colors, evolving morph engines, harmonic stacking with real instrument samples, character layering that captures the soul of your synths, track linking with analog filter routing, stereo filter panning, and performance upgrades that make jamming more intuitive than ever.

This isn't about drum one-shots. This is about what sampling unlocks for sound design, harmony, and musicality on a machine that already had serious creative depth.

All sounds in this video come from my own sample library recorded from my synthesizers — including the Novation Peak, Sequential Fourm, and Arturia AstroLab 37. The full sample pack and project files are available on my Patreon.

"An update for the Elektron Syntakt is brewing and due to arrive very soon."

LIGHTREFT x ELEKTRON [CONCRETE TEST]

video upload by Sasha DZA

"We are currently deep in the testing phase of Concrete, fine-tuning exact parameter values and exploring multiple configurations to achieve a balanced yet powerful sound. One of its primary roles is to act as a master device in a live setup.

In the current test routing, Monolit sequences tracks over MIDI in the Octatrack. The audio from the Octatrack goes directly into Concrete, and from there a second output feeds the main master signal to the speakers.

We will be sharing more test sessions soon, where you will be able to hear different drive engines we have been developing, as well as several additional features that were not part of the original announcement but emerged during the development process."

"Can you make a decent sounding pattern on the Digitakt II with only Oscillators and Noise only? In this video, we dive deep into the factory utilities on the Elektron Digitakt 2 to see just how far the internal engine can be pushed. All sounds (drums, chords, leads etc.) will be made using fun and clever sampler techniques."
