Elektron Model:Samples – 6-Track Sample-Based Groovebox & Sequencer

Elektron Model:Samples is a compact and intuitive 6-track groovebox that delivers powerful sample-based production with Elektron’s signature sequencing and performance features. With velocity-sensitive pads, dedicated filters, LFOs, and send effects, it’s a portable studio designed for hands-on creativity.

Key Features

• Six sample tracks (audio or MIDI): Each track houses a sample engine, resonant multimode filter, assignable LFO, and works as a MIDI lane for external gear.
• Elektron sequencer: 64-step sequencing per track with features such as parameter locks, conditional trigs, real-time/grid recording, swing, and micro-timing.
• Expressive pads: Six velocity-sensitive pads let you perform dynamics and texture with ease.
• Send effects: Unified delay and reverb sends add depth across the kit.
• Robust storage: Includes 300 preset samples, 64 MB internal memory, 1 GB trackable storage, and supports up to 96 projects with 96 patterns each.
• Compact, direct controls: Knob-per-function interface, OLED screen, and class-compliant USB audio/MIDI make operation seamless and intuitive.
