Simon Arblaster and Future Music editor, Si Truss, squeeze back into the MusicRadar studio for another hands-on demo. On the test bench this time is Elektron’s entry-level sampler, the Model:Samples.
The duo ask one of the more pressing questions in recent times, does the Model:Samples have enough power to sate your sampling needs, or should you be saving those extra pennies and hold out for a Digitakt instead?
Obviously, it’s not a clear-cut answer and it all depends on your sampling aspirations, but there are a few things you may want to consider before taking the plunge.
"He came and asked for some money, but it was alright... if it’s a hook, or I feel like I’ve taken their idea, then I'd always try and pay for it": Fatboy Slim on sampling's "Wild West" origins - and nicking the bassline from The Clash's Guns of Brixton
"Many offer 'vintage-sounding' samples, but we’re offering the real thing": Tracklib announces "first of its kind" royalty-free sample packs made up of authentic '70s recordings
