Model:Samples build quality

@paulrobertpine A lot of the above belongs in

Model:Samples Feature Requests Thread

A thread to discuss feature requests for the Model:Samples Perhaps as often happens there’ll be some discovering the feature already exists … this is likely to be browsed by the Elektron team but it’s not a formal thread as such, it’s really to discuss wants and ideas … The official method for submitting a feature request to Elektron is to email: feature-request@elektron.se … there may or may not be a response to every submission sent there but most ideas floated here will likely get discussed …

Elektron sent me new rubber pads free of charge and they are much improved. The new ones came with a rigid plastic internal frame that adds more support, and and improved screen shield (the old one had fallen apart but I never realized it since it was transparent). They send detailed install instructions and the whole process was pretty easy and took less than 30. I’m very happy with Elektron’s customer support, thank you!

PS: It’s fun to have the old buttons on my desk to play with

Setting to not preview on 1st track click (so you don’t have to hold track to switch tracks)

Awesome idea.

I’ve seen teardowns showing the MS having a lot of screws holding the main circuit inside hence the sturdy, solid feel. I’d bend it until it sits straight without being afraid.

Old post but I just bought one used and maybe there was rough handling or temperature changes or something on route, but the casing was badly warped - One corner was around a cm off the desk. Found your comment and bent it back in shape, all good.
