The Elektron Model:Samples is a compact 6-track sample-based groovebox that combines powerful sequencing, a curated onboard sound library and fully hands-on control in a lightweight, portable design. It ships with 300 ready-to-use preset sounds to jump-start beat creation, while its knob-per-function layout lets you shape every parameter directly from the front panel for fast, intuitive workflow. Designed to slip easily into a backpack yet capable of driving a full studio or live setup, Model:Samples delivers Elektron’s signature performance feel, expressive pad input and flexible sample import in a streamlined, travel-ready instrument.

Curated Preset Library With Flexible Sample Control

Model:Samples ships with 300 curated preset sounds ranging from essential kicks, snares and hi-hats to creative percussion and unique textures designed to spark new rhythmic ideas. Each of the six tracks includes its own sample playback engine with dedicated controls for tuning, filtering, envelopes and modulation, allowing detailed tone shaping on a per-track basis. Users can also import their own samples via the built-in microUSB connection, making it easy to build personalized kits and expand the instrument’s sonic palette as their library grows.

Performance-Ready Elektron Sequencer and Creative Tools

At the core of the instrument is Elektron’s performance-ready sequencer, supporting real-time recording, step programming and powerful per-step automation. Features like parameter locks, track-length variation and probability functions make it possible to create evolving, dynamic grooves with movement and character. The six tracks can also transmit MIDI to external gear, allowing Model:Samples to act as a compact control hub for synthesizers, drum machines and hybrid hardware setups.

Lightweight Design With Professional Production Capability

Weighing just 1.8 lb., Model:Samples delivers professional sequencing, expressive pad performance and flexible sample control in a highly portable format suited for the studio, stage or on-the-go production. With its intuitive layout, expandable sound capabilities and deep rhythmic tools, it offers an accessible entry point into the Elektron ecosystem while retaining the creative depth that experienced producers expect.
