Elektron’s big announcement from this year’s NAMM show was the new Model:Samples, which saw the Gothenburg-based electronic instrument makers introduce a new form-factor and workflow.
Of course, the big news is that this new sampler is much cheaper than the likes of the Digitone and Digitakt, at under $400.
Here we you bring you a selection of reviews and tutorials from YouTube's brightest stars.
