$400USD is a lot of money for most people.

Model:Samples is not going to replace my beloved Octatrack, but it seems like a really good product. Iâm sure that it will sell a ton on its own and will also upsell a few people in the direction of the Digitakt.
Iâm waiting to see the full reviews and hands-on experiences of first adopters to see whether one of these would distract my niece from my OP-1.
From looking through the manual, I wonder whether some of the intended users are going to be put off by the sample management process.
And I still find the product name incredibly odd.

Elektronâs Model:Samples FAQ says âit is class compliant, meaning that you can stream stereo audioâ.

I think it looks fun as hell! I would love to run this through my Machinedrum and pair them up. Also will be nice to jam with in bed before crashing out, the non click buttons wonât wake the wife up. The sample management will be fine for me. Iâll just find a bunch of dope samples and make my own, load it up and be done with it.

as someone has suggestedâŚit seems like it leaves it open for other Model:type models.
True, My first sampler I bought when I was 17 for $1200 - it wasnât even half this powerful and I bought it with money I made mowing lawns and making pizzas. Shits actually way cheaper and better nowâŚ

Back in my day I had to walk 9 miles uphill in the snow everyday just to look at an MPC through the window of a music store that wouldnât let me in because I was broke.

ya and if you sold that old sampler todayâŚyou prob wouldnât get much [unless its some sick vintage one]
I sold my akai s1000 for $40 
thatâs the best I could get. and the ONLY way it sold was it was pickup. shopping would have been too much ha ha ha ha.
SCALE PER TRACK ON DIGITAKT PLEASE.
Yes forum software this is a complete sentence.

Shoot, still a nice machine though! No mine wasnât an SP 1200 it was an MPC 2000xl and it was stolen so I didnât even have to bother with reselling it
Mountains arenât uphill both ways dude

A bit disappointed in that. I guess if it had an audio input there wouldnât be much need for the usb jack. Still buying!
MIDI CC for swing!!! 
They are where I grew up. Hard times.

definitely a nice machine. shoulda kept it and sold my CD3000 instead. its decoration now. I think the S1000 woulda made a nicer decoration tho. âcoolerâ 
but look at the differenceâŚ
the S1000 with its 16mb of memory, menus upon menus, 3min to load a sample through midi cables, originally selling at $4499 msrp and the size of an old betamaxâŚ
vs the M:S. the little box is JACKED in comparison.
who would wanna use them anymore. I turned it on for funâŚit wasnât. I turned it off and sold it. again, sold the wrong one. the S1000 is a WAY cooler paper weight.
