Open mods for the Model:Cycles

Elektron's little groovebox with more inside: a sampler machine, Syntakt engines, a 909 kit, every track on its own USB channel. 5 open-source mods of the official OS, for the Model:Cycles and, some of them, the Model:Samples.

☕ Support us YouTube
You bring Elektron's own OS. None of these ships Elektron's firmware: download the official OS 1.13 .syx from elektron.se, and each mod builds its version from that file, on your computer. Some do it in a web flasher (Chrome or Edge), some on the command line. Back up your projects and samples first (Elektron Transfer), and keep the official .syx: sending it is the way back. These are independent projects, not made or endorsed by Elektron; a modified OS is at your own risk.
