Synth Deals
You’ll find some great options for creating beats as a beginner, while we’ve also got some more serious semi-modular synths for the cable-friendly kids. Let’s take a closer look at the offers available:
Elektron Model:Cycles
The Model:Cycles is a versatile 6-track FM groovebox with intuitive sound and pattern creation features and a 64-step sequencer. Unlike some of the more advanced Elektron gear, this one is definitely OK for newbies.
Each audio track can function as a MIDI track, and gives you a choice of six FM-based sound generators called Machines. Once selected, each machine then has four unique controls for sound shaping.
In addition, the Model:Cycles is also equipped with one LFO per track, as well as send effects such as Delay and Reverb. Overall, it’s a great creative tool that will link up nicely with other gear in your setup.

The Pro-800 is an affordable gateway into lush polyphonic analogue heaven. Inspired by the underrated Sequential Circuits Prophet 600, it offers 8-voice polyphony and two oscillators per voice.
In addition, you have a warm -24 dB per octave low-pass filter and a noise generator for adding extra grit and texture to your sounds. Meanwhile, you can modulate pitch, pulse width, and filter cutoff with a choice of six LFO waveforms and there are two envelopes.
Apart from USB, the Pro-800 also provides connectivity in the form of MIDI out and filter CV in. What’s more, there’s a Poly Mod section and Unison mode for creating larger-than-life sounds.

Sound creation is centred around the 4-channel source mixer, which feeds the versatile PGH multimode filter and envelopes for more precise shaping.
In addition, there are some unique creative features like the Dynamics section where you can flip between VCA and low-pass gate modes, as well as an analogue echo section.
