As Namm 2019 kicks off we are keeping a close eye to what is new up this year! Our eyes were on Elektrons brand new affordable unit Model:Samples. Unit comes with 300 presets. It’s priced around £400. Affordable price will tempt many people who always wanted to own an Elektron.
Here are the key features.
- Control All lets you twist your sounds to oblivion. Then use Reload to take you back to where you started
- Use Parameter Locks to automate parameters. Each step can have a totally different sound
- Load six samples at once – just like a kit. Great when you have made a Pattern with Parameter Locks, LFOs etc… Load six new samples to instantly experiment and come up with unique and unexpected results
