Tutorial | How to arpeggiate on Elektron Model:Cycles
So, I recently saw a video of Oscillator Sink about creating a fake arpeggiator on the Digitakt, and wanted to see if I could do the same on the Model:Cycles. This tutorial shows how you could do it on the M:C - hope it helps someone!
0:00 Intro
0:37 Example
2:17 Conditional triggers
3:10 Retriggers
4:51 Build arp track from scratch
6:19 Notes built - change playback speed scale
7:00 Setting up retriggering per note
8:23 Adding decay
8:44 Adding delay send
9:08 Sound shaping and outtro
Notes:
1. In my Jam 044 track, I mistakenly set all the notes to Trigger, instead of the percentages they were on. Apologies for that.
2. I would recommend you set the condition trigs to be at least 50%.
3. Adjusting the note lengths would affect the sound of the retriggered notes too, so play around with those.
4. Changing the playback scale can also affect the sound result so remember to play with that too.
Thanks for watching and apologies for the camera shake
