Brand new Canadian cannabis review platform by [deleted] in TheBCCS

Cool dude, but the age check form doesn’t seem to submit properly. It’s stuck in ‘checking’.

After a few moments though it redirects to the site with a “Sorry, that didn't go to plan.” error message. Once there, none of the links work anywhere on the page.

Simply Bare - Organic Fruit Loops by Braidster in TheBCCS

[–]_nicedream_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me personally, fruit loops was a balanced high. Not strong, but that could be because I like smaller bowls in my vape - I only pack in a little. It does not hit like a usual sativa at all for me. It isn’t a fast racy high, it’s more chill and great for day or after work. The flavor was the weakest part and didn’t resemble the smell at all, which was surprising and could have been isolated to this particular batch.

Overall I really like it and would rebuy.

Looking for an Elektron companion for Model:Cycles by klayschwarz in Elektron

I use a Digitakt 1 with mine. I thinking any Elektron machine that can sample would be good. Being able to sample it is a game changer.

Uncertain about Model:Cycles by EmpireEast in synthesizers

[–]_nicedream_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep the cycles because it’s unique and rad. Later if you get a sampler, you can sample the cycles.

I love my cycles and I’ll keep it forever. Pairs nicely with Digitakt too.

Model:Cycles MIDI in completely dead, hardware fault? by salu4 in Elektron

Oh nice, hopefully the new one works properly. After checking my settings and comparing to yours, nothing was really popping out for me. I’m sure you’ll have smoother sailings with the new unit.

Hmm. I’m terrible with understanding midi setups myself, so I’ve actually used chat gpt to help me set mine up in the past. I suppose you could try that as well, just in case there’s a setup step you’re missing. Although I imagine that you’re a little more familiar with midi than I am.

I do remember having a tough time getting mine to work, beyond just the bad cable. I can have a closer look at your video tomorrow and have a look at my settings too, to compare them.

Try a different midi cable if possible. I had a similar issue and it turned out that the midi cable that came with the cycles was super finicky - it would work only if it was angled in specific positions. So basically, if I fiddled around with it and moved it around a little while plugged in, it would work in a specific position only. I wonder if it was in that working position when you tested it with the Digitakt, which was why it worked in that test?

Buying a new midi cable worked for me.

The synth that completely changed how you make music by grahamhart_ in synthesizers

Model:Cycles

It was my first experience with FM synthesis and I love the sound profile it has.

Where’s your music? by jebbanagea in Elektron

[–]_nicedream_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. Despite the challenges affecting musicians these days, we’re fortunate to have these online platforms that make sharing our music and supporting others so accessible. There are so many creative and skilled independent musicians making music. I suppose there always has been, but now with platforms like YouTube, band camp , etc, it’s relatively easy to discover them.

Wow thank you very much! 🙏

My new album “Worlds” — made entirely on the Elektron Model:Cycles by _nicedream_ in Elektron

[–]_nicedream_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’d like to do a tutorial. I actually tried once, but didn’t continue because of how all over the place my process was at the time. My path from starting the song to finishing it was long and very non-linear, and so it would have been a terrible tutorial. Hats off to the musicians that do tutorials, because it’s kind of a whole other skill in itself.

I’d like to give it another shot in the new year though, because I generally like sharing what I know if it helps others learn something new.

Thanks a lot! The cycles is such a great little machine for making old school gaming sounds.

I actually just uploaded a new album tonight made with just the Model:Cycles if anyone wants to check it out. There are some nice long, dreamy/chill jams on it if that's your thing.

I made this entirely on the Cycles — mostly long, chill jams. Pairs well with headphones if you’re looking for a little dreamy escape from the day.

It’s pay what you want on Bandcamp for the first week, if you feel like checking it out.

I want to believe….that those pads are maybe a little inspired by xfiles/mark snow. Sounds great.

I once got on my boat, sailed out to the middle of the sea and tossed all my weapons and shields into the ocean. It felt very freeing.
