    • How to make 303 acid basslines on the Elektron Model Cycles. Sounds good!

      • It actually makes quite nice acid-style basslines. It’s a great little box. If I didn’t have much money/space I’d definitely go with a Model:Cycles over the Novation Circuit.

        • To me it sounds more like FM bass than a 303. It has its own sounds. A Model:Samples could get closer to a 303 with the right samples plus it has a filter.

    • I’ve been reading the manual and I can’t see a way to reverse a drum sound in the Rhythm part. Does anyone know if there’s a way to do this?

      • I took a look at this for you and unfortunately I can’t find a way to reverse drum hits on the SH-4d. I know you can do it on the MC-101 and MC-707 by increasing the key offset to +24 but there’s no way to do this on the SH-4d. I tried increasing the pitch to maximum but it doesn’t reverse the sample. I thought that maybe there would be some reversed drums in the Rhythm PCMs but I checked and there isn’t.

        • Oh that’s a shame. I don’t have mine yet so was hoping it was something I’d missed in the manual. Hopefully they’ll add this in a future firmware update.

          • I stand corrected! I just experimented more and some of the sounds (but not all) do go into reverse when Layer 1/2 Course Tune is set from +24 to +48.

            • That’s awesome, thanks for rechecking this! I’m always using reverse cymbals in my beats before a drop etc. so glad you can do this! Can’t wait to get my SH-4d!!

              • So I went through and made a list of the drum tones that can be reversed. No cymbals as far as I could see!

      Looks like Roland have updated Zenology to v2.0. It doesn’t look like the synth engine has been upgraded (it’s still the same Zencore synth engine under the hood) so this is just a UI refresh and some additional presets. It does look like it might be a bit easier to navigate. I also noticed they updated Roland Cloud a few days back, might be time to take another look.
