  • Wow great, do you think it's work with a dx7 ? or there is software with midi out ?

    Thx

  • @camillerrrr

    it works with any synth with midi

  • Hello, what software version pops up in the display right when you turn this on? 1.0? 1.1? 1.2? 2.0? Thanks in advance.

  • @jasoncreek

    1.2

  • ist vor kurzem bei EBay für nen Hunni weggegangen... Fand ich jetzt ein wenig überteuert aber anscheined muss ich da doch ein wenig mehr einplanen. Nen Gecko (auch wenn der weniger kann) hab ich für nen Fünfer gekriegt. Jaja die Schnäppchengesellschaft :D

    Ist der Cyclone wirklich so unzuverlässig wie man überall lesen kann?

  • Also ich hatte bis jetzt den MAM MAP-1 , den Waldorf Gecko und den Oberheim Cyclone.

    Der MAP-1 ist ähnlich wie der Cyclone aufgebaut und oft preiswerter zu bekommen. Der Cyclone wird so zwischen 100-150 € gehandelt. Mein Cyclone ist überhaupt nicht unzuverlässig. Die Kiste kann Wahnsinns Arpeggio Muster erzeugen. Die Bedienung ist aber nicht ohne.

    Am Gecko hat mich gestört dass er nicht zu Midi gesynct werden konnte.

  • @mrbeautiful999, No feedback, use a direct signal path: controller's MIDI output > Cyclone > sound module's MIDI input.

  • @riddickulous84 The only difference between the Cyclone and the Drummer (and the Strummer and the Systemizer...) is the EPROM chip and the printed control overlay-you can swap EPROMS and change their behaviour.

  • @grauzone84 YUES

  • Ok now perhaps I am just confusing myself ...but how could I use my Cyclone with sy a Kurzweil K2000 or my Roland GR-33 Guitar synth.

    Wouldn't I set up some kind of MIDI feedback loop going MIDI out to the Cyclone and back into the MIDI in on the synth?

  • @therealdoron project5!

    

  • this is the core of electronic music.

  • sounds kinda like VNV

  • As always a great video, love arpeggiators! I have a Roland R70 drum machine (midi) and a Juno 106, would I be able to use this to arpeggiate the juno 106, in sync with the R 70? I have the urge to buy one!
