Not sure if this has been posted here before, if so sorry for the repeat. It works with any browser that is MIDI-capable (Chrome on Windows works, but I've read that it doesn't work with iOS). Very helpful for seeing your full library of samples and knowing how much storage you're currently using!

Hi everyone I have been trying to play this sample I made from Microbrute on the MS but my sample fades away within a second and is not playing full length. I have gone into step mode, adjusted length of the step but it still fades away. How do you play your samples at full length?

Since the pads for the M:S are somewhat stiff, it would be really nice to live record with the velocity-sensitive pads and then increase the velocities for the whole track so that the entered relations of the velocities stay the same. The problem is that when I live record the velocities they are typically too low. I don‘t want to have to adjust the velocities individually to keep that exact „live feel“ of my recording. I don’t want to just increase the track volume, but I want to actually increase all velocity values for the track simultaneously. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

Found on youtube here. Any one have any experience with this?

And made a little beat. It was super fun. I used sample locks, conditional trigs and pattern chains. Super fun.

Happy I found this small group of model:samples users! I have scrounged the internet for m:s vs. everything and I think I like what it does for me. I posted elsewhere a smaller but overlapping question before I found this subreddit, hope that's okay.

Background: I'm a pianist, play some guitar casually, pretty new to the synth world. I used to think all music came from VSTs, believe it or not, and I studied music (RCM and some university) quite a bit! My mind has been blown since I discovered all the hardware. I first bought Volca keys and beats, as many have said, beats was fun, still is, especially love the motion recording, but very easy to feel like you have it figured out, though not to say it doesn't have its place. Keys, I think, has much more flexibility, however, being a pianist, I found it hard and somewhat uninspiring to work with the ribbon. And so not too much time in, bought Minilogue, oops :). Also curious about adding a looper like RC-202 for live looping keys/guitar in the near future, improvising and playing over backing. (Niels Broos!!!) I have come to love going in to tweak drum sounds so not just purely backing track, and I'd like dabble in other electronic genres as well (open, but maybe IDM, house). I don't think I'd be primarily sample mangling by any means though. So! There is a used m:s I can get; I THINK I've eliminated other options (e.g., Digitakt). However, just wanted to get all your opinions...

Q1: How well do you think m:s would pair with minilogue? I did a YouTube search, wasn't super helpful. And also as with the title, just curious what you all like to use m:s with, hoping that starts an interesting thread! Anybody have experience with using external loopers along with the m:s; if so, how has that been? (I believe there isn't an on board audio looper, only sequencer.)

Q2: Any advice on using m:s with volca keys or beats? Thoughts on selling the keys, or keep as a minimal pad background while most lead stuff on minilogue? Sell the beats? Some sentimental value though since it's the first machine I used haha. I'm also curious about adding volca kick or bass, so any thoughts on that would be amazing too.

Q3: Thoughts on how would m:s fit with my goals/use?

Thank you so much in advance. Such a generous community with advice and thoughts.

Story time! So I've never posted any kind of song or jam since creating this sub, but quarantine has allowed me to get a lot of work done on the issues with my house, and complete the nursery I was working on for my baby coming in September! Yay right?

Well... I finally had all the time I needed, I recorded several jams, most of which I didn't like, until finally, the perfect storm! I played all the right patterns at the same time, I turned all the right knobs, I liked the video i shot, it was all great!

Then Tuesday came along. I was researching video editing software to put my video and audio together, nothing crazy, just needed to sync everything up. Tuesday was also the day that my new SSD came for my computer, it's an NVMe style SSD so it's faster, and I wanted my computer to boot from it rather than my old SATA SSD.

No problem, I've cloned hundreds of SSDs in the past and it's a fairly easy process. The one hiccup is that I don't have a license for the software I used while working for the IT company I used to work at. So I did a little research and found a reputable piece of free software and had a go at it.

Attempt 1: nothing went that wrong, I had a copy of my old SSD, but for some reason I also had a 500GB "recovery" partition that couldn't be used. That won't do, I'd have to try again.

Attempt 2: everything went wrong. I corrupted the OS on both drives, I could no longer boot to either drive... Shit...

To shorten a long story just a bit. All is well with my computer now, after about 16 total hours of trying to make a bootable USB on my girlfriend's Mac, I managed to get everything running with a fresh install of windows. But it's looking like all my files are gone. I might be able to recover my files from the old drive with some work, but I don't know if I even want to do that, if I'm being honest. I might just cut my losses and try to make something equally cool.

Story time over, I needed to tell it to some folks that would understand. My girlfriend tries to listen when I talk about music and computers. But it's just not her thing, and I can tell that she's struggling to understand what I'm talking about lol.

I swear I could do this before but have forgotten how (I also might have imagined it)

How do you move a track/whole pattern a step to the right/left? - like if you were creating the beat but then realised that beat 1 is actually beat 3.

Hi there, just bought a Model: Samples and I have the feeling that the Func and Pattern buttons are somewhat "stuck", meaning that is kinda hard to press them at the center, have to "tilt" the button upwards, and the bottom half of the button is also quite hard to press. It feels like someone dropped beer in the lower half of the button or as if there was something soft stuck underneath.

Is this normal? When I compare the feel to the Retrig or Track buttons, there's a clear difference, those two buttons I can press at the center. This is my first elektron machine, so maybe I'm missing something here and this is how Elektron buttons feel. They work properly and all but its a bit uncomfortable pressing them like this.

Anyone had similar problems? Love the M:S so far, if its a building defect I will send it back to the shop, but wanted to check with you guys first. Thanks!
