true that. usually the pros are exaggerated while the downsides are limited to a timid footnote mentioned at the end of reviews, but these should have as much weight - if not more - on a fair analysis.
i feel like the best reviews are not necessarily negative, but should focus on what something CANT do. for example you can watch a whole review about the digitakt and not know that it cant slice samples. for some people it may not matter but if it does, and you bought one, you are going to be very disappointed
Stimming is my no.1 gear reviewer. Loved this and also his review of the drumbrute impact. The sole reason is because he reviews the devices from a musicians perspective and not a technical perspective. And that is rare!
I think this thing is a hidden gem. It was probably hurt greatly by its missing features at launch, but after all the updates, it's a powerhouse, especially if you don't have a digitakt, and costs less that half the price right now. Great review though.
Greta review! BTW> The barrel jack input on the left side makes sense. It is a 5V DC power input. With a USP to barrel jack adapter cable, you can power the unit directly from a power bank and use it off grid :)
A beautiful review - perfect. And Elektron has patched many of the issues you pointed out like pitch changes now go to the .1 cent level and you can sample lock each step in a sequence to use different samples on the same track. I can't recall off-hand the limit for sample locks per project. Lovely overview of a fun, easy and very powerful machine. Wish it had polyphonic sequencing but I am also happy with the limitation for the price, and, besides, that is why we have other synths and MIDI. :)
Yeah, I get the feeling he has confidence in the build of Elektron gear. Overall, Martin Stimming seems to make a point of not being too delicate when handling gear. I guess, if it's going to break, its better that it breaks in the studio than on stage. Chenk from Elektron claimed in one interview, that he had thrown the model:samples out the window, just to test the build quality. Apparently it didn't destroy the thing, but he didn't disclose how high up the window was. Edit: (Got curious and had too look it up.) Elektron HQ resides on the fifth floor, according to the adress info on their site.
I'd love to see an update of this review to find out whether Stimming ended up using this onstage and whether he decided to keep it. Really, I'd love to see an update on all the machines he's reviewed. I've seen his vids on his studio gear, but those are older. He did say that he sold his Model: Cycles.
I just flat out like Stimming. The gentleman knows his stuff. He takes a true look at a device, from his point-of-view, and shares it with those of us that want to listen and learn. That said, I wasn't sold on the Model:Samples with some of the earlier Elektron produced videos. After seeing Stimming's review, I'll pull one in and give it a spin. I also hope Elektron brings back their Machinedrum into a similar form factor with similar UI improvements. It is one of my most used instruments and would love to have one in a portable form factor. Thanks @Telekom Electronic Beats for the video!
Someone from Elektron just confirmed that Digitakt and Model:Samples share the same reverb. It might feel different because the M:S has less reverb parameters to tweak. To me they also sounded a bit different but ears can be deceiving.
Great demo, thank you very much Stimming. My question is if you load your own samples then you have to delete some of the existing ones? Or the unit has enough space to add new samples, keeping at the same time the factory samples?
Thank you mate, I love your music and now I love watching your reviews. You are a legend. Let me know when you make it back to Oz. I will buy you a beer. Cheers Kurt
Totally amazing review. As many said here, it's so good that you're totally honest with the good and the bad, and also you mention some details that show you really use these machines, not just evaluate them for reviews, which is a very important thing. IDK, I'm between saving for a digitakt or getting this one sooner. I don't have other elektron stuff and I'm not used to their page/param workflow for everything, so this hands on interface looks a LOT more interesting to me. Though I'd really like the 8 midi tracks of the digitakt and the (already?) 8 tracks via overbdridge.
The main question is: what do you need? For live stuff the dedicated knobs on Model:Samples are probably something really awesome. But for studio use I'd say: get the Digitakt. As you already mentioned, it has 8 midi-out channels and it also has 2 internal channels more than Model:Samples (personally the 6 track limit is the most handicapping thing in this device). DT is also built like a tank and has a direct sampling capability. I'm not saying Model:Samples is a bad device, but if you're already torn between choosing this and the DT, the price difference really isn't that big between them. And about the traditional Elektron workflow: DT actually was my first Elektron device and I was pretty much making new stuff with it in an hour, not kidding. But in the end of the day, it's your call. Like I said: think about what do you need. There is no worse feeling than buying wrong gear/plugin because you didn't have patience wait a bit longer and save more for the device/plugin you really wanted to buy.
With his experience Stimming always gets to the point immediately, while other reviewers just ramble on as if they're reading the manual without anything to add.
I like how dissected this machine in so much detail. I don't really like the elektron interface but this seems much better. I agree - their new drum machines should be more like this. If, like on the RYTM, you have to use the display a lot make it big, high resolution and colourful. Having no proper filter / amp envelope on a sample player is borderline criminal though.
Very good review! One little thing to add: You can choose ftune as a destination for the lfo to finetune samples. But then you lose the lfo for that track. Real finetuning would have been nice.
Quality review, thank you. For the price it's actually crazy that there's no filter envelope or even a real volume envelope?!?! And wtf is that chance knob? Probably needed the extra knob to make the grid 3x5...
I really love the MS, it’s so playable, super fun and also great for sequencing other gear. But unfortunately those buttons really suck. My function button broke off after a few months (seems to be a common problem) and some other buttons get stuck sometimes. It just doesn’t make this thing feel reliable, which is really a bummer, especially as I planed to use this as the main sequencer for live shows. I expected a little bit more from Elektron.
thanks for the good video! Can you please tell me what you think of the sound engine compared to the digitakt. I'm wondering if there is much of a downgrade in quality playing the drums or anything really.
I really like the strcuture of these reviews. There is not so much fluff and a lot of different opinion points on different aspects of working with the machines.
Great review! You convinced me to take the leap for this fun machine, despite (or because of) the fact I have lot of other Elektron gear that I love. PS--I think you need to move your "B" sticker over one (under trig 8). Thanks!
This has to be the best overview & review I've seen of this so far. Thank you for uploading this; it's affirmed a lot of things for me & answered many questions. In essence, It's a machine of interesting choices, and can deliver fun filled moments. But there are compromises aplenty which i didn't expect. I'm still waiting for an elektron device to enthrall and stimulate as a compositional tool. They're very cleverly designed, but it seems like the engineering department are forcing you into a way of thinking and hence doing , which isn't always musically intuitive. Forcing creativity via workarounds of complex button combinations of 'computer game cheat code length' doesn't always yield satisfying or great results. Your mind tends to end up focussing on the complex technical ergonomical interfacing far more than the sonic & melodic , which takes you further away from the natural flow of composing. Here's hoping their next product will hit all the right notes (pun intended) and be a machine I can flow with.👍
@@MStimming You're right. In comparison to the other instruments in their range, it has a more immediate interface. But at this price point, the competition is tough. I've been fortunate to have owned or used a LOT of groovebox /hardware sequencer/ all in one devices since the late 90s on all sorts of jobs and situations. Elektron devices are unique and require a rethink (or even remix- pun intended) to your approach to writing and even performing . But the 'emotional connect' and subsequent musical payoff for me, just hasn't delivered as of yet. They're always brilliant on the spec sheets, with layer upon layer of options available, but in the real world, it looks like 'gizmoing' ( article : - www.shekhardhain.com/2013/06/washing-machine-syndrome-adding-value.html?m=0 ) I'm still an optimist regards tech development, as I spent years in I.T. & saw over time, how software and hardware have improved to form a much better marriage, with better U.I. on products overall. In effect, I think that in the cost rethinks (and reducing of features) necessary to produce devices that appeal to every level of consumer, the music hardware market has been affected too, just like every other industry. For example, the larger corporates have the pockets to spread the risks over a diverse range of EVERY kinds of product in the sector, and all the time, if absolutely necessary. By comparison, the smaller firm's with a handful of product, are constantly revamping o/s software, and trying to keep their inflows healthy via merchandising and even funding , both private and more public (e.g. patreon). I sympathise, as it's a tough gig. But it's also a choice. And in that regard, there's never been a greater time to get into music, as the variety of ways to go about it are incredibly varied and most importantly, fun.
one thing bothers me: when I'm holding note repeat and playing the sequence, if I press stop, it stops the note repeat as well. but I like to keep the note repeat solo to do some performance trick. Hope this could be fixed.
Thank You Stimming! I was on the fence lately about which sampler/sequencer to buy vs what I need vs what is available (Digitakt is quite hard to come by nowadays, for example) and I found about this little thing, and was wondering if it would suit me. This review sealed the deal. Even with the drawbacks it's still pretty much what I was looking for. Probably gonna buy it next week :P
Hey ! Nice, can you trig whole drum loops, or vocal loops, and those loops will be in sync with the master tempo? Or it is more like a one-shot sample drum machine?
wow, thanks so much! does Stimming do online music production/live performance coaching? he is a great source of inspiration, curiosity and all around fun person to learn from
Listening as I am wiring up some gear.. I had to stop to watch at 19:00... really loving that groove when you start to use the waveforms. Great content as usual. AND again at 24.00 great stuff to my ears.
Totally agree with you on the stickers. Product looks great but the stickers feel like a stupid gimmick. Anyway, fantastic review. Best and most useful review I’ve seen on this instrument yet. I really really want one
Is individual sample memory large enough to allow concatenating multiple samples together to make one mega -sample? Then you can make the effect of parameter locking samples by parameter locking sample start point and length.
minisoda yeah he’s a really great dude and he’s super well known in the electronic music world! :) I was just surprised since you are watching this particular review of this device that you had not heard of him. Check out his music it’s really good. The track “the origin” is really cool and was one of the first that got me listening to him. Peace!
Awesome review like always Stimming! Funny, that you dismiss the need for a battery pack. It‘s the only criterium, why I consider buying it. To be able to make beats on the go :) I‘ve had my eye on the Korg Electribe Sampler, but this light little powerhouse seems pretty nice and has an awesome sound. The missing attack parameter gives me a bad feeling though...
Excellent overview video of this new model:samples device. Great work! I really like the Digitakt, and now testing the Overbridge Beta. It's neat to use it as an interface. Though still buggy, but hey. it's beta. =) Would have been great to have this intuitive layout with instant access to parameters on the Digitakt too. Maybe something for DT 2.0. =) Great work on the video and cool jams!
Great review and brutally frank and honest and that is good. Thank you! One of my best friends is from Lübeck and I was able to guess that Mr. Stimming is from that area (Hamburg) based on his accent. Dangerous delay. That is a first.
I like how it plays but im convinced something is wrong with mine I cant tell though. But I haven't been able to record anything. I hear a lot of good things about this but I hate mine.
Thank you - gr8 idea seriously. Love the whole tongue in cheek approach to the natural pessimism that I can wholeheartedly identify with. Well done and honest....rare for YT product vids as of late. @@ElectronicBeatsTV
These reviews are great, mainly because Stimming seem honest and point out everything that is bad with each machine. That is very rare
NaturligFunktion definitely the most objective review - very good! Tells it like it is and shows what it's useful for.

Stimming is hands down the best reviewer I've ever watched and this little machine looks and sounds the absolute business.
Stimming reviews are the best, most useful, clear, deep, honest, and, last but not least, full of nice humor.
"I'm going to do it in English, again; just so my German fellows have something to complain" hahahah you got my attention right there buddy!
Sample Locks are now possible with the latest OS update
Best feature yet
So nice, listening to Stimming at work is a peaceful time, inspiring, hopeful and energetic.
I love these reviews. In depth, entertaining, informative, and just overall great when compared to many others. Keep them coming.
Now that it has parameter and sample locks, and costs 25% less, this is the best instrument in its price range.
Greta review! BTW> The barrel jack input on the left side makes sense. It is a 5V DC power input. With a USP to barrel jack adapter cable, you can power the unit directly from a power bank and use it off grid :)
Stimming, please review more products! The depth of knowledge and thoughtfulness here puts very popular reviewers to shame. Thank you.
Ich liebe diese Reviews von Stimming :-D so authentisch, sympathisch und extrem fähig. Freue mich auf mehr mit ihm!
Am I the only one who can listen to Stimming do reviews and demos all day?
Nope :-)
There is a 1h + video coming soon. Ask The Producer: Stimming
Very good reviews. Both in-depth and humorous. Love them.
After my second day with it I'm loving it more and more. It's living up to the excitement I've had since it was announced!! Super fun and powerful!

This is the first time I've come across your videos. I love your review style. Great info and low key humor. Subbed.
"....and here you get some stickers with it." haha.. says it all. Love Stimming's reviews!
Stimming is such a nice guy. Love his reviews.
the model:samples now allows for parameter locks on samples, that as well as this review sold this machine for me!
Dang, that slow beat with the chord progression is so beautiful. Really shows the range of this box.
I just flat out like Stimming. The gentleman knows his stuff. He takes a true look at a device, from his point-of-view, and shares it with those of us that want to listen and learn.

12:35 I believe you can abuse the LFO for a "slow attack" workaround (credit to loopop for that)
Someone from Elektron just confirmed that Digitakt and Model:Samples share the same reverb. It might feel different because the M:S has less reverb parameters to tweak. To me they also sounded a bit different but ears can be deceiving.

Great, honest, informed review. You're hilarious.
Thank you for making this video :) I am looking forward to the battery pack so I can jam out on a mountain top at dusk.
thanks for the good video! Can you please tell me what you think of the sound engine compared to the digitakt. I'm wondering if there is much of a downgrade in quality playing the drums or anything really.
Schlimming R&D always on Point.
I really like the strcuture of these reviews. There is not so much fluff and a lot of different opinion points on different aspects of working with the machines.
I was sceptic.....now i’m convinced ;) great demo!
thank you, your reviews are always very great !!! cheers from France =)
Great review! You convinced me to take the leap for this fun machine, despite (or because of) the fact I have lot of other Elektron gear that I love. PS--I think you need to move your "B" sticker over one (under trig 8). Thanks!
Really? I had no idea! Thanks, @@MStimming! I learned something!
you know, actually, the B is right where it should be in the German system, I think
He's just missing an H sticker ;)
heyy awesome! Stimming's back! in case you never heard of him this guy is virtuosoAF!
I have two Elektron machines. I am tempted by this new instrument. Thank you for this informative and well presented video.
Schlimming's reviews are THE best.
Great review! Just out of curiosity, why do you think bass drums should be microtonal?
Could it be possible to know what console acoustic piano it is there at the back? :))))))))
This has to be the best overview & review I've seen of this so far. Thank you for uploading this; it's affirmed a lot of things for me & answered many questions.
In essence, It's a machine of interesting choices, and can deliver fun filled moments. But there are compromises aplenty which i didn't expect.

I really love the look of this box as a performance tool. Looks really interesting indeed.
Also you don't have to hold function and track to control all. You just have to hold track!
one thing bothers me: when I'm holding note repeat and playing the sequence, if I press stop, it stops the note repeat as well. but I like to keep the note repeat solo to do some performance trick. Hope this could be fixed.
To be fair, I see Elektrons with stickers on them all the time.
PS - Stimming's reviews are great. Glad to get more English work. :)
Thank You Stimming! I was on the fence lately about which sampler/sequencer to buy vs what I need vs what is available (Digitakt is quite hard to come by nowadays, for example) and I found about this little thing, and was wondering if it would suit me. This review sealed the deal. Even with the drawbacks it's still pretty much what I was looking for. Probably gonna buy it next week :P
This exceptional person took a piece of Elektron gear and plastered note stickers on the keys, a la thrift-store Casio! :)
as they intended
Hey ! Nice, can you trig whole drum loops, or vocal loops, and those loops will be in sync with the master tempo? Or it is more like a one-shot sample drum machine?
it is one shot
That groove at 23:00. So good
could listen to this dude give reviews all day .. no b.s.
wow, thanks so much! does Stimming do online music production/live performance coaching? he is a great source of inspiration, curiosity and all around fun person to learn from
This is an awesome overview, makes me want the device for sure
things i wished it had:
powered via usb
trigs for panning
proper midi connections
It reminds me of a volca sample with a few more functions. It looks very self explanatory at a glance. I like it.👍🏿
Difference between "YES!" and "OH SHIT!" Is just milimeters (on the DT).
Lol, subscribed.
Awesome review as always
You find his new ones on musictalk.tech

I've got one and they're great. Tempted to get a second.
it seems all samples in this review were one shots right? Like a drum machine. Would this machine work to playback and tweak say 4 bar loops too?
Sure it works but it's more fun with one shots on this machine.
Check Stimmings new reviews on musictalk.tech
What type of piano is that in the background? Looks nice and compact.
Is individual sample memory large enough to allow concatenating multiple samples together to make one mega -sample? Then you can make the effect of parameter locking samples by parameter locking sample start point and length.
Who would do that?
Very nice demo of the wave looping capabilities! Thank u
Great review and now I believe I want one next to the digitakt I just bought
I love the beats he was bringing up pretty creative and cool I'm pretty new to this synthesizer stuff I've never heard of this guy but he's great
lol is that a joke?
BIG PASTA well no idk if the beat at 15:59 is his or a factory default but it's awesome, I also just get a good vibe from this mans

mas, I love your style. great, funny (not silly, though), informative... new subscriber here! keep it up (in english, please lol)
Elektron added Parameter Lock and Sample Lock.... thankfully. Will Attack be added sometime soon? God, we hope so.

the break that starts at 22:47 is sickness personified dude
Paired the Samples with the NDLR. Tons of fun. Good video.
Great idea!
23:09 insane beat hereere 🤩😍
Excellent overview video of this new model:samples device. Great work! I really like the Digitakt, and now testing the Overbridge Beta. It's neat to use it as an interface. Though still buggy, but hey. it's beta. =) Would have been great to have this intuitive layout with instant access to parameters on the Digitakt too. Maybe something for DT 2.0. =) Great work on the video and cool jams!
the diddy you do at the end there sounds great.
Great review and brutally frank and honest and that is good. Thank you! One of my best friends is from Lübeck and I was able to guess that Mr. Stimming is from that area (Hamburg) based on his accent. Dangerous delay. That is a first.
Originally he is from Gießen (Hessen)
I like how it plays but im convinced something is wrong with mine I cant tell though.
But I haven't been able to record anything.
I hear a lot of good things about this but I hate mine.
Are the notes/stickers applied on Stims box the way the notes are put stock from the box?
yes
Thank you - gr8 idea seriously. Love the whole tongue in cheek approach to the natural pessimism that I can wholeheartedly identify with. Well done and honest....rare for YT product vids as of late.

@@ElectronicBeatsTV Still amazed at this trick and how amazing. Any new vids coming Stim?
Hey there! Thank you for the review!
Are the samples from the model samples?
Love the DJ Krush-like beat circa 23'00"
"HERE YOU HAVE A MACHINE FOR 20 YEARS... and here you get some.... (grin) stickers with it..." says it all :D
I love this guy. He's great.
The reverb sounds nice :)
