Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Elektron Model:Samples. Is this entry level groovebox and sample-based drum machine the perfect introduction to the Elektron workflow? Is it "My First Elektron"?

Thanks to Klangfarbe for letting lending me one of their floor models:

  • The fact that you come up with multiple tunes AND edit together a mini music video every week is mind blowing! I sure hope YouTube is paying off for you, because man, you certainly put in the time and effort!
  • @Sascha_Giebel
    Thank you so much for another awesome meme-fest !! I'm starting to get cramps in my left hand hovering over the space bar but that's a sacrifice I'm always willing to take to watch the latest episode of 'Bad Gear' 😅
  • I have to admire your video editing skills and pefect choice of movie material for your "Scandinavian Witchcraft Phonk House".
  • @OttosTheName
    If you would use this in a hospital bed I'm convinced 9 out of 10 people wouldn't believe you when you said that's not a random piece of medical equipment you snatched, but music gear.
  • @HIMOMLETSGO
    thank you so much for doing my request! been waiting for this video!! love this little groovebox more than anything and the limitations/quirks inspire me even more to create and connect it to other synths!
  • @LuckERadio
    These are probably the best jams you've ever done! You keep on getting better
  • Bad Gear has been on a roll lately!! Minilogue, Volca NoBass (🤣), Roland J-6, FL Studio, Model D, Model: Samples... gear that I've always wanted to see on this channel. Thanks Pilz 🙌

    This was my first Elektron product too, it was amazing because I used as a master midi to control a TR-8, TD-3 and a Crave, now I own a Digitakt and its better for the studio. But Model Samples is awesome, I travel months with it on my backpack (using an external battery) lt’s lightweight and fun to jam on. Model Samples changed my life
  • @JohnPallister
    Great stuff as always, I love your "love/hate" vibe and of course your production standards remain impeccable. Good to know I already own the 2003 version!
  • That second jam with the waldorf and the EHX canyon has got to be one of my favorite beats of yours.
  • @joelnicholson
    Fun fact: the Akai S20 was the first sampler I ever got, and it's what started to hook me into electronic music at all ... thinking I was DJ Shadow whilst loading off a floppy disc. Happy times! Thanks for the memories.
  • I was fearing this day would come! 😅 Awesome review! This machine allows me to create complex beats in just a few minutes. Love it!
  • @CatmanJimbo
    Your jams just get better and better, and I'm not even much of an electronic music guy!
  • Have not subbed to any patreon before, but I love this man's videos so much I'm seriously considering it.
  • @illegalgiant_
    i have come to love your channel dude. love the examples you came up with, they are better than i would think. i use my digitakts input for my bass to get that sweet sweet elektron reverb.
  • @bentsound
    I've been waiting for this episode since last year!
  • @shkeni
    As always a great episode, loved the Haxen Phonk. That's a very nice reverb indeed!
