Experimental / IDM Roulette

Cycles & Spots deliver the sequel to SampleMod, a sequenced sample slicer with different play modes and lots of modulation options. New in this version is the slicer using (adjustable) transient detection, 300 new handpicked samples that work well with the instrument (importing possible), more flexible LFOs (routing), various randomize / reset buttons and better modulation visualization. The implemented samples total 2 Gigabytes, so lots of possibilities to create your own presets. CPU usage is decent so more than one instance could be layered to create more complex soundscapes / songs, although using only one can create interesting long modulating results.

Cycles & Spots deliver more fine MIDI files made with modular synthesis / generative techniques and this time the double amount, meaning 10 compositions, each with 3 tracks which are 128 bars long (Around 4/5 minutes depending on the BPM). These tracks consist of bass, chords and melodies. There are no rendered Wav files included, this fun part of chooding the synthesizer sounds is completely for you to explore and enjoy. There are though 30 second examples to identify / preview the compositions and moreover to give inspirational ideas. To make the compositions even more generative / alive we recommend the following techniques: Use (random) modulation of the ADSR amp envelopes to shorten or lengthen the notes, randomize filters, effects or other controls of your synths and lastly you could try arpeggiators on top of the MIDI files.

10 Compositions
All 128 Bars Long
30 MIDI Files

300+ melodic arpeggio-like sequenced synthesizer loops made by Cycles & Spots for all sorts of electronica music productions. The loop themes come in variations, sometimes with key / scale / notation changes, other times with different synthesizer settings, sometimes both. These can be combined in sequence for progression or single loops can stand by themselves to help build songs. All have late 70s / early 80s analog synthesizer flavor, meaning 2 different synths have been used from these eras. FYI, to show more of the content of this pack, the audio demo mostly plays the loops only shortly, although many benefit from longer looping.
