I’ve been churning out tracks with the M:S and Digitone all week and managed to record some today. In both of these M:S is doing the drums with the Digitone handling the synth work and melodic stuff. I’m really enjoying the M:S as a drum machine, it’s so hands-on and quick and fun to play.
Does anyone know if the orange knob is identical to the white? (minus the color of course)
Would like to do a switch-a-roo and swap out the orange for another white.
I don’t have a M:S anymore so can’t tell but really close to getting another one very soon before the price jumps back up 100$. Which should be any day now.
Trying to hold out till the NAMM announcements but would hate to pay an extra 100 if the sale ends before then.
This sustained price reduction on the M:S only (all other Elektron devices back to full msrp) is probably a good indication the new battery handle is about to be announced at NAMM perhaps.
Need my Model:Samples and Chill…on the couch. Cozy is how I draw inspiration.
Nope, the orange knob is different. The other knobs are skirted while the orange is wider over the body with no skirt. I can’t easily slide it off the shaft so I can’t comment on whether it’ll fit other pots.
The on/off (white) encoder and the orange encoder feel like they behave the same, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the same part. Meaning… you could probably replace the orange knob with a white or gray. If you do, send me your orange!
The biggest advantage of not needing Overbridge and having this be class compliant is that I can use my linux laptop with Bitwig. Both using the Samples as a MIDI controller and pushing out audio. What a nice surprise. For this new 299 pricepoint (hoping it sticks) this is an excellent MIDI sequencer and sample groovebox…
Agreed. £250 sheets here in the UK is a top price. No brainier at that money
I haven’t even plugged mine into the computer yet. I got it a couple of months ago off a fellow ‘naut and it had some sample packs already installed so I’ve been doing ‘found’ M:S music in terms of samples used so far.
Just looking on the Bay for current used prices and I notices a couple of USA listings for $228 brand new. Prefect Circuit was one. Have they had a further reduction stateside?
