Before we start creating some music, the first thing you\u2019ll want to do is register the Model:Samples with Elektron. After you register the drum sequencer, you\u2019ll get an extended three-year warranty, as well as full support from Elektron on the off chance that the device encounters a bug. Follow the steps below to register the Model:Samples.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n- Log in to your Elektron account<\/a>. If you don\u2019t have one, you can create it here<\/a>.<\/li>
- Once you\u2019re logged in, navigate to the Person <\/strong>icon at the top right of the page, click My Registered Products<\/strong>, then enter the Model:Samples\u2019 serial number.
- The serial number is found both on the bottom of the unit and on the side of the box.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the registration process.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\nNavigating the drum sequencer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Elektron\u2019s Model:Samples drum sequencer comprises three primary sections: The Effects<\/strong>, Tracks and triggers<\/strong>, and Utility. <\/strong>All three areas play an essential role in creating your music. Elektron has made it easy to navigate through global and sample options so that you can adjust parameters on the fly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP: <\/strong>Holding the FUNC <\/strong>button will access the submenus, which you\u2019ll need to do from time to time. You\u2019ll be able to tell if the pad\/knob has a submenu by seeing if it has underlined gray text underneath the primary function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\nTrack Parameters<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Track Parameters section on the Model:Samples has 12 basic parameters (dark gray knobs)<\/em>, two master parameters (Light gray knobs)<\/em>, and is pretty straightforward for monophonic synthesis. Each sample currently loaded can be altered independently, then saved for later use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n- Holding the FUNC <\/strong>pad while adjusting a track parameter will adjust it to an exact value (i.e., 0-32-64-128)<\/em>. Not holding it will allow you to fine-tune the parameter.<\/li>
- Holding <\/strong>the TRACK <\/strong>pad while adjusting the track parameters will make a global change of that parameter. This means all tracks will be altered, instead of just the one.<\/li>
- Check out the Parameter <\/em>section<\/a> of the Model:Samples manual<\/a> for detailed information on how each parameter affects the sample. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
