# Model-TG
**Unofficial firmware additions for the Elektron Model:Cycles (OS 1.13):
a full Sampler machine, resampling, beat-repeat with master FX, and more.**
Model-TG is built on your computer from your own copy of the stock OS. It
patches new code into the firmware, so everything the Cycles already does
keeps working.
> **Unofficial.** Not made, supported or endorsed by Elektron. You install it
> at your own risk: back up first, and see going back to stock.
> No firmware images are distributed here or anywhere by this project.
> Build your own.
## What it adds
- **A Sampler machine**, the seventh machine on any track. It plays samples
 from the Cycles' internal storage, a different sample per pattern, with
 p-lockable per-step sample locks.
- **Seven playback modes:** One shot, Loop, Slice, Granular, Stretch
 (time-stretch), Pluck (Karplus-Strong) and Wave (wavetable), each with its
 own options.
- **Slicing:** equal, by transients, or your own markers set in a
 full-screen slice editor. You can tap them in time, snap them to zero
 crossings, and set a pattern's trigs to walk the slices with one press.
- **Resampling** of a track, the whole output or the computer's USB audio,
 in mono or stereo, straight onto a track, then saved to internal storage.
- **Stereo samples** in every mode.
- **Retrig page:** beat-repeat on the tempo grid, plus 12 master FX (drive,
 crush, rate, pump, filter, ring mod, noise riser, gate, tape stop, vinyl,
 flanger).
- **Attack, Filter and Resonance** added to all the stock machines.
- **Slide trigs:** a trig that glides every differing parameter, p-locks
 included, from the trig before it, on any machine.
- **Scale Lock**, **sample upload through Elektron Transfer**, a **System**
 page with CPU and memory use, and lower CPU use overall.
The full, button-by-button guide is in **docs/USER_GUIDE.md**.
## Getting it
The easiest way is the **web flasher**:
pick your stock OS 1.13 file and it builds Model-TG right there in your
browser. Your file never leaves your computer. Install the result like an
official OS update.
Or build it yourself:
 [code] 
Then install `Model-TG.syx` like an official OS update. The tools you need,
and how to go back to stock, are in **docs/BUILD.md**.
## Contributing
Pull requests for new behaviour are welcome. See
CONTRIBUTING.md to get started, and
docs/INTERNALS.md for how the firmware is patched and
what is already known about it.
