I love making ambient music with the Elektron Model:Cycles ☁️ With its 6 tracks and machines, it has a lot of capabilities and making ambient music is almost like meditation for me. That's why I decided to make a series of videos showing how I use the Model:Cycles to make ambient music.
In the first two episodes of this series, we saw how to create useful building blocks for ambient music with the Elektron Model:Cycles. In this video, we explore how polyrhythms and randomness can help to make generative ambient music with it. We will see that even though the Model:Cycles is a small unit, it can generate an infinity of combinations.
The video is split in different parts:
0:00 Introduction
0:21 Polyrhythms: Scale length
1:42 Side note on the amount of possibilities
2:02 Making the pattern more ambient
3:25 Polyrhythms: Scale multiplier
4:03 Lower the tempo!
4:19 Randomness and trig conditions
5:12 Outro
5:30 End jam
