Tonerk serves its purpose, and all features are well-documented in the user manual (Yeah, the bugs…). However, it’s unclear whether Tonverk was specifically designed for ambient sounds. It seems like Elektron created it with the intention of giving users the freedom to make music however they wish. Within limits. Think of it as an instrument, not a DAW. A piano sounds like a piano. Should it be able to sound like an organ just because both instruments have keys? Limitations create character and personality. Think of the 303, 909, AR
The statement that it’s “well-suited for ambient” is reasonable, but the claim of an “obvious ambient feel/utility” feels more like an interpretation rather than a concrete fact.
For more effective communication, it would be better to be more composed and precise in wording, clearly separating facts from evaluations. The tone might come across as somewhat emotional or argumentative, which could reduce its overall persuasiveness. If you’re looking to make a feature request, the “Tonverk Feature Request” section is the appropriate place for that.
Looking at today’s product landscape, not every sampler necessarily needs to cover every loop scenario to be considered a “sampler.” A sampler is simply a device that records and plays back audio, while a sample player is just that— a sample player. The Korg Volca Sample, for example, is a sample player, while Tonverk is a sampler. The Digitakt 1 was straightforward, but also quite complex. The Elektribe 2S is a good example of a simple sampler. As for multisamples, the last time I used those was with the Akai S6000— a great machine, though it was pretty large and had a fan.
Edit:
Another aspect: we are talking about multisamples here—that is, many samples. Several can also be played simultaneously.
Start and end points for loops must be generated for each sample—and they must all be the same length so as not to cause interference. And they must begin and end at a zero point. And ideally, they should be editable live. That is a big task.
