Elektron's Model:Cycles and Model:Samples are each inspiring on their own. Both grooveboxes are affordable, lightweight, and created so that any user—novice or expert—can get full-blown compositions going quickly.
But as you'll see in our video above, the Model siblings really shine when they play together.
Reverb video host Fess Grandiose and Cory Sterling, aka RedStripeDown, fire off some sweet jams while explaining how they like to use the machines. Combining sequenced drums from the Model:Samples and dreamy FM sounds from the Model:Cycles, the pair's live compositions cover a lot of different sonic territory.
Feeling inspired? You can download the sounds Fess and Cory are using for free right now.
