The Elektron Model: Samples is a compact 6-track sample player with sequencer which goes in a completely new direction in terms of design and concept. The new, flat case, together with the display and encoders, clearly sets itself apart from Elektron's previous instruments. 300x drum and synth sounds are factory installed, but can be replaced and loaded with 1GB samples via USB. The sounds provided in the project can be organized in drum kits on 6x tracks and processed directly with 15x controls. Parameters for playback, filters, LFO and effects conjure up new variations of the loaded material in no time at all.
This sequencer offers 6x audio or MIDI tracks. Micro-timing, swing and individual step lengths of 1-64 steps per track allow exciting patterns even beyond the 4/4 grid. Of course you don't have to miss the beloved parameter locks! As the first device from Elektron, the Model: Samples contains all relevant parameters directly on the user interface, eliminating the need to jump between menu pages. The compact lightweight finds its place almost everywhere and is ready for use after a few seconds of loading. It is advisable to think of the MIDI adapter cable when changing location.
With the current OS 1.02 it is now also possible to assign an individual sample to each step (sample lock). This process is explained in the included video content.
It had been 7 years since i got rid of my sampler and moved over to vsti's for my drums and it has been great. Getting the Elektron Model Samples has given me that 'hardware' feeling again and then some, it'sreally easy to use, can have different samples per step, different step lengths within a pattern, parameter changes per step etc The sound quality is pretty good too, no aliasing on my own samples. The best thing though is that hands on jamming experience. This connected to my re-303 (via midi) is jamming heaven for me, it's just so easy to get something decent going quickly and that might be THE most important thing. I wear glasses and i have had no issues looking at the information on the screen. This little box is great fun and shouldn't be underestimated because what some see as limitations might force you to be creative and get a lot out of it. This is my first Elektron product.
Whether you are just starting out or experienced, there is something to be found here. I'm using it pretty much as a dedicated drum machine alongside other gear but if I was a beginner I would have a great groovebox to start out with!
