Elektron MODEL SAMPLES and WIND QUARTET + bastl ikarie Perfomance and Review

"Elektron MODEL SAMPLES + bastl ikarie and WIND QUARTET: Oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn (assembled in the Cre8audio Nifty case). Perfomance and short review.
I have written the score with the Staffpad score player and editor. The library used for the wind sounds is Berlin woodwinds from Orchestral tools (Staffpad version).

The composition is titled: Painting XI

'Model:Samples' is the little brother of the Elektron family of sampling machines.
A sampler is a machine or software that can manipulate captured sounds.
The possibilities of sampling today are practically infinite and the variety of processes that can be carried out on the audio are very sophisticated.
'Model:samples' doesn't stand out for its sophistication, that's what its older brothers are for.
'Model:samples' stands out for combining not only the power and versatility of the specific sequencer of Elektron machines but also for its ease of use and immediate control.
Since how quickly and effectively it can become a musical instrument: Most of the mechanisms to variate any sound are within reach of a single movement of your hand. Your imagined ideas can be quickly consolidated into a result on the machine; as when you play a key on the piano or a string on the guitar.
I've converted the mono signal from the 'Model:sample' to a stereo one by letting it flow through the `Bastl Instruments´ 'Ikarie' filter. A dual-mode stereo filter whose gain has also given it a lot of color.
I did only make use of a single sample for this topic. One of those which the machine is factory-equipped with. But it has been enough for a wind quartet that aspired to become a quintet to sign it up on their team.
The full lineup of this quintette is now composed by a clarinet, an oboe, a horn, a bassoon and, finally, 'Model:samples'.
There must have been good harmony between them, since they have promised to meet more times in the future to play together in this very special garden, where things from yesterday, today and, perhaps at some point, tomorrow meet up together."
