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.

Key Features

- 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.
Customer Benefits
