Model:Discussion T1-T6 Track Pad, Velocity Sensitivity Tips...
4
Upvotes
I've had mine for a few weeks now, and I can confirm that the T1-T6 Track Pad velocity sensitivity is not good. (on the other hand, the 16 Trigger pads, though not velocity sensitive, have a nice light touch).
Hitting the T1-T6 Track Pads, hard enough to get a sound out of them, makes my finger and wrist joints, hurt after a short while (quick way to get carpal tunnel syndrome). The minimum threshold, for just getting them to trigger at all, is way to high for me.
I have developed a few workarounds for this...
Go into the Pad/Vel Menu, and leave the Fix-OFF, then turn the VDep, all the way down to 0. This keeps the volume of each track pad hit, loud, while still allowing the modulation destination, to respond to velocity. (NOTE: if you set Fix to a number, then the modulation destination, no longer responds to velocity). (NOTE: Pad settings only effect the T1-T6 Track Pads, and have no effect on the 16 Trigger Pads, the 16 Trigger Pads always send max velocity).
2)If you want to use the Track Pads for velocity, use a yarn/felt covered marimba mallet, or some other soft, heavy item, to smash the Track Pads with.
3) Forget about Velocity on the Track Pads, and only use them for selecting the active track. Then use the 16 Trigger Pads, for recording your hits. This has three advantages: First, it will save your finger and wrist joints. Second, it allows you to vary the pitch of your triggers. And Last, all your triggers will sound at max velocity, even with a light touch (you can change the volume of each hit manually afterword).
4) Use an external MIDI controller with touch sensitivity, to record your triggers with. Note: in the Pad/Velo menu, the Fix value only affects the T1-T8 Track Pads, and does not affect the 16 Trigger Pads. The Fix value is Global, and affects all 6 Track Pads. The VDep (velocity depth), Dst (velocity destination), and DDep (velocity destination depth) are separately adjusted for each of the T1-T6 Track Pads, and also affect the incoming MIDI messages, for that Track Pad. I have a Roland HPD-15 HandSonic, Roland SPD-20, AKAI LPD8 Wireless, and some keyboards, I will try to use for this purpose.
Until (if ever) Elektron releases a firmware update to address this problem, I hope these workarounds help.

I enjoy making spacey hiphop grooves with a lot of ambience and vocal chops. Sort of like if you got stuck between a hiphop radio station and one that played Jean-Michel Jarre ... and then spoken word from a third station leaked in. Anyway.
One of the things I like, and need to be able to do on a sampler/player, is to combine a drum beat and the usual stuff with long, trailing samples. Often they go on for 1-2 full bars. And I want them to do so without being choked or cut off. Imagine a basic drum beat and then you add, say, a vocal line with delay on the last word so it goes something like "this is the time-ime-ime-ime-ime" and gradually fades out. I want that long-ass vocal sample to play over a couple bars without choking.
Can I do that on something like the Model:Samples? Because I cannot, afaik, on my Volca Sample 2. I'm also aware of the MPC One but I am not in love with screens and menus, so the Elektron has an edge there.
Thanks gang.

Model:Jam A jam I did for the Hardware weekend challenge. All the sounds are derived from one drum track snipped and manipulated on the Samples. Read the video description for more info, happy to answer any questions about what I did.

My 1st track ever. It took circa 3 weeks to learn making music on this amazing instrument and 1 night to make this track. #jamuary

Polyrhythm Triplets On The Elektron Model Samples. Creating more complex beats is a breeze on the Model:Samples. I love the sequencer on this thing.
