You can get drum sound packs for your A4 free on elektron site.

Hans_Olo · January 22, 2019, 1:24pm

Well, who am I fooling. Of course I’ll check it out myself. At least I can afford to keep all the kids for now.

I can see why people are dispoited but this is pretty much exactly what I needed to replace my broken volca sample. It frees up slots on my DT no more wasting audio tracks for boring kick drum sounds that never change etc

Maybe a mod should rename the topic to Model: samples?

Birth_Chord · January 22, 2019, 1:25pm

I know, I have all of them… I still don’t like using other peoples samples Albeit I do currently because I just got my DT for Christmas and it’s the first sampler I’ve ever owned.

jlborges · January 22, 2019, 1:25pm

Oh I really could’ve used one of these a year ago.

anokah · January 22, 2019, 1:25pm

Come Thursday you might be eating those words. If not your kids.

Birth_Chord · January 22, 2019, 1:25pm

You mean Modal:Skulptles?

Cosmic · January 22, 2019, 1:26pm

Sorry if I misunderstood but A4 soundpacks aren’t samples. You can modify them if you wish.

Unifono · January 22, 2019, 1:27pm

how stupid is this

Birth_Chord · January 22, 2019, 1:28pm

No you’re correct they’re not samples. If I modified someone else’s work to sample I’d rather just start my own from scratch to develop the nuances of my sound (regarding synthesized drums only). I will use presets and patches for synthesis and tweak it any day, especially on my Digitone because I’m a novice at FM synthesis.

Simon,
Can you give some indication of how we would backup and load projects to this new device? Presumably we would want to avoid the problems that the DT had of getting completely filled up with projects. The manual makes no mention of Overbridge at this stage. Can you give some indication how Elektron is going to deal with this issue?

darenager · January 22, 2019, 1:29pm

Well @Ess and all us crazy @Elektronauts it was a very fun thread to participate in, regardless.
I think the new machine looks fun as hell, good price, but I’m well catered for in the sampling department so I’ll most likely skip this one for now.

You can’t please all the people all of the time, but you can please some of the people some of the time.

Right, I’m off back to refreshing the namm2019 thread every few minutes

Edit: I’m such a melt, this should have been in the Machine:Sample thread

Birth_Chord · January 22, 2019, 1:30pm

On the Elektron site it says this can hold 96 projects, and has 64 MB sample memory.

Hans_Olo · January 22, 2019, 1:30pm

The manual mentions SysEx and C6 for backup/restore. From my perspective that’s not really the best possible solution for an entry level box.

Cosmic · January 22, 2019, 1:30pm

Yer fair enough. I tend to use them to understand how they were designed and then build them myself, but really helpful to have to knock out something fast.

Segon · January 22, 2019, 1:32pm

The design language is quite a departure from the previous line, from the color to the materials to the GUI. It’s surprising, given the design achievement on the Digi line.

mce076 · January 22, 2019, 1:33pm

I’m curious about the name choice (it seems odd to me) and wonder what alternatives were… could have easily gone with MicroTakt/Tone etc

jano · January 22, 2019, 1:34pm

It looks like a great device for a more entry level segment, maybe Elektron will add some extra features to the DT to improve its market segmentation

spazzickagent · January 22, 2019, 1:34pm

This is so cooooollll, if I ever need a cheap but functional sequence there is now an option. I can totally be mooooore portable than before. This is sick. I have a digitakt though so I’m not in the market but still this is siiick
