A new foray into simplicity, portability and for the first time for Elektron - one knob per function. Samples used are merely a few single cycle waveforms and a bassdrum twisted into several different sounds. This thing can go deep. . . . . #elektron #modelsamples #sampler #groovebox #drummachine #synth #idm #electronicmusic #braindance

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

video upload by the machine in the botanical garden

"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."

Elektron Model:Samples Drum Machine Sample Player - Perfect Circuit Demo

Published on Jan 22, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The Model:Samples is a new sample based machine from Elektron, that has knob per function control over parameters and pressure sensitive trigger pads. The Model:Samples brings Elektron's powerful sequencer to a lower price groove box, which still has parameter locks, per voice length as well as midi in and out. There are six sample voices each with distortion and filter effects. A delay and reverb master send effect can effect all of the voices. Notes and triggers can either be played into the sequencer in real time with optional quantizing, or programmed in step by step with probability options and micro-timing.

Free Elektron Model:Samples Sample Pack by RedStripeDown

Available on Reverb here

"Elektron's Model:Samples is an affordable groovebox you can use to make full tracks at home or on the go. While the machine includes 300 sounds already, the real fun begins when you add samples of your own. RedStripeDown created this free, exclusive sample pack for Reverb and Elektron. It includes 8 different drum kits, each including 8 individual kick, snare, clap, and other percussion sounds.

All sounds are in the easy-to-use wav file format. They'll sound great in the Elektron Model:Samples but will work in any other audio sampler or DAW.

Hear the sample pack in action in Reverb's video with RedStripeDown and Fess Grandiose above.

If you're a Model:Cycles user, you should also get RedStripeDown's free Model:Cycles preset pack. Find that here."

"Model:Cycles
Six track FM based groovebox
Scale angles dense and jagged, glide over plains vast and fluid, or sink into mists of dissonance. To model is to shape the formless. Model:Cycles is a six track FM based groovebox that brings exploring into the heart of sound sculpting.

With six unique Machines in one lightweight unit you can effortlessly mold rhythm and melody across the digital spectrum using instant, tactile controls. Exploration made attainable.

Define the formless
The six Machines of the digital FM engine are unique to Model:Cycles, and cover both percussive and melodic synths, allowing you to make full, varied compositions. The four core Synth Controls put the tools of sound sculpting right in front of you, altering the behavior of each Machine differently and letting you push them to the limit. Every sound has a start, where will you take it?
Dedicated × 12
Dedicated knobs let you twist each Machine far and wide with wild, unexpected results waiting to be discovered. Use Control All to heave a parameter to the extreme and back again across every track. Elektron’s powerful sequencer gives you the freedom to record every move live or program the sounds and parameters of your composition one step at a time.
Light weight, heavy sound
Whether you use it as a versatile live instrument or groovebox on the go to pick up and craft full-blown compositions away from your studio, exploration has rarely felt so convenient and unimpeded.

Bigkik - Model Wave 1 (Elektron Model:Samples)

video upload by bigkik

"I got recently a 2nd hand Model:Samples and really enjoy it.

For this track, I was deeply inspired by one of my favorite artist : 'The Toxic Avenger' and especially his latest track 'Acid Machine'. I especially loved its bassline.

Again i only used the provided sounds but played extensively with the sequencer, the conditional trigs and the lfo.

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did composing it !"

DVRST - Close Eyes (Elektron Model:Samples instrumental cover)

video upload by bigkik

"Despite its 64 steps limit, you are not stuck with 4 bars by adjusting the "duration" of each step a little bit like the Roland J-6 sequencer. And with the conditional trigs, you can easily program variations in a single pattern.

I only used the samples provided in the unit."

"We dip our toes into Model:Cycles and Model:Samples in the most uncomplicated of ways, both in terms of where the similarities lie between the two siblings and explaining some of the key differences between them. We also look at where the strengths of this pair may lie in your Elektron and wider gear setup, and put together a simple sequence to demonstrate the spontaneous and accessible workflow of the devices.
