The Elektron Spirit, in a Compact and Accessible Format

With the "Model:Samples," Elektron condenses its sequencing expertise into an affordable and portable machine. Ideal as an entry point into the brand's ecosystem, it retains the direct ergonomics and performance logic of iconic models but in a lighter and easier-to-master chassis. Perfect for discovering the Elektron touch without compromising creativity.

For Beat Creation in Studio, on Stage, and on the Go

Whether you are a motivated beginner, an experienced producer, or a live performer, the Model:Samples excels in techno, house, hip-hop, electro, synthwave, or ambient. Its six independent tracks, velocity-sensitive pads, and expressive sequencer make it a versatile companion for sketching ideas, building sets, or experimenting with rhythmic textures, both at home and on stage.

Features and Innovations

Each track has its own sample engine, resonant multimode filter, and assignable LFO to sculpt the timbre precisely. The Elektron sequencer allows up to 64 steps per track, enabling polymeters through independent lengths and scales, while real-time or grid recording facilitates capturing instant ideas. The built-in delay and reverb effects add depth without external processors. With 64 MB for samples and 1 GB of internal storage, you can combine ready-to-use banks and personal sounds. Modern connectivity (class-compliant USB 2.0 audio, MIDI TRS, balanced outputs, and headphone out) and the ability to use tracks as MIDI tracks to control external gear reinforce its role as a compact creative hub.

Customers praised this sampler for being "easy to use" with "many possibilities" and a "wide sound palette." The 6-track sequencer with parameter locks, trig conditions, and 1GB memory enables rapid idea development. Most appreciate the intuitive interface and effects, though some noted polyphony limitations and minor bugs with long samples. Excellent value.

Great sampler.

Easy to use, you still have to watch a few tutorials first and leaf through the manual (in English) to really be able to use it properly.
Once taken in hand, it offers a lot of possibilities and a wide field of action with these 6 options.
Trigs conditions make it possible to build interesting sequences.
The triggering of several samples (24max I think) different per track allows to greatly expand the possibilities.
I like all the effects that are present on the front. Some sound more powerful than others but I find a use for all of them.
The LFO is really good but I can't associate it with all the effects, I use it especially with the PAN and the CUTOFF.
There have been some criticisms about this LFO because it is not applicable to all the tracks but to each track individually.
However, there is a “swing all” function even if it does not replace this LFO...

Overall memory level (1GB) is more than enough for me.
On the other hand the 64 Mb of ram are almost full it's a bit limited I think double would have been more comfortable but it's not really blocking for me at the moment.

The transfer of samples is easy, however it would have been nice to be able to record directly from an external source and to modify the samples to record.

For the aesthetic aspect I like it, it changes a bit from what we usually see.

It's the second Elektron that I own (I had an octatrack) and in terms of value for money it's really unbeatable.

When using it I noticed two bugs: the first on a 3-minute sample when we change to a shorter sample there are error messages that are displayed (memory full) and other errors, and then I have the list of my samples that is refreshed. Nothing blocking but I think it's not designed to handle long samples (more than 2 or 3 minutes).

On a track that is being played and edited at the same time (grid): you have to press several times to activate or deactivate a trigger (it's not blocking either).

The MIDI settings are very complete and offer a lot of possibilities.

Overall I am very happy with this machine and I spend a lot of time on it!

Great drum machine, very pleasant to use, it is very satisfying to be able to turn knobs to balance effects:D The Model:Samples allows you to put ideas into practice very quickly, to leave them in the state of a model or to push them until you have a very solid project.

The parameters and sample locks as well as the trigger conditions are very practical and allow you to bypass the 6-track limit to compose fairly complete songs. + the fact of being able to integrate your own sounds into a 1GB memory... it's huge!

The only downside is the absence of polyphony: on the same track, you cannot play several notes at the same time on the same trig (there is however a micro trick via nudge). Other than that, GO! The Model:Cycles also exists!

Requires a bit of practice but very beautiful object, wide sound palette and especially the possibility of modifying it in depth.
