## What it is
Modded Cycles is a free, open-source firmware for the Model:Cycles (OS 1.13). It keeps Elektron's workflow and
extends it: more machines, more modulation, better everyday gestures. It is not a rewrite of the OS, and it is not a
mod store: what goes in is chosen for its value, its stability and how well it fits the rest.
Since version 2.0 there is **a single OS**, the Modded Cycles OS, instead of a list of mods to tick. Everyone runs
the same firmware, so projects, tips and bug reports mean the same thing for everyone.
The flasher builds the firmware **in your browser**, from **your own copies** of the official Elektron files, and
sends it to the machine over USB. Going back to the official firmware is one click away.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **No Elektron firmware is included in this repository**, original or modified. You bring the official OS files
> from elektron.se; the OS is built from them on your
> computer. This is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Elektron. Flashing a modified OS is
> **at your own risk** and may void your warranty.
## What's in the OS
| Feature | What you get | Origin | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Sampler machine** | Model-TG's Sampler as the 7th machine: samples from the internal storage with seven playback modes (one shot, loop, slice, granular, stretch, pluck, wave), slicing, resampling, a retrig page with 12 master effects, Attack, Filter and Resonance on the original machines, slide trigs, Scale Lock, sample upload through Elektron Transfer, a System page. | TinyGregAudio/Model-TG 1.1.0, MIT | 🧪 Experimental |
| **Syntakt engines** | Five real Syntakt machines, **SD VINTAGE**, **CP VINTAGE**, **SY TOY**, **SY BITS** and **SY SWARM**, as machines 8 to 12, with the Syntakt's knob names and defaults. Their code is read from your own Syntakt OS file. | Elektron's code, from your file | ✅ Tested |
| **MACRO machine** | Machine 13: the 47 synthesis models of Braids, Émilie Gillet's macro-oscillator. `SHAPE` picks the model, `FUNC` + `PITCH` gives lo-fi. | pichenettes/eurorack, MIT | ✅ Tested |
| **ACID machine** | Machine 14: an acid bass in the style of the TB-303, with cutoff, resonance, env mod, drive, saw or square, and slides from your trigs. | RobinSchmidt/Open303, MIT | ✅ Tested |
| **LFO 2, 3, 4** | Three more LFOs per track: on the LFO page, press `LFO` again. LFO 2 is saved with the sound and can be p-locked. | After DavidCaruso | ✅ Tested |
| **Arpeggiator** | Hold several notes with `RETRIG` and they arpeggiate; `FUNC` + `RETRIG` sets direction and range, saved with the pattern. | This project | ✅ Tested |
