12. SAMPLES
12.1 ABOUT SAMPLES
A sample is a 16 bit, 48 kHz, mono audio file.
Each of the six tracks in a pattern can contain one sample. A sample that is imported from the +Drive to a
pattern becomes part of the active pattern. Any parameter changes applied to a sample will therefore not
affect the stored sample. It only affects the sample in the active pattern.
A sample used in a pattern can be renamed or moved and still work as intended. This is due to a hash
function that adds a file specific value to every file, and this value is independent of the file name or the file’s
location in the data structure. However, if you delete a sample, it is not included in any patterns anymore.
If you delete a sample from the +Drive, it will not be included in any projects or patterns
anymore.
12.2 THE +DRIVE SAMPLE LIBRARY
The +Drive sample library is where all the samples are stored and can hold up to 1 GB of samples. You can
have up to 576 samples (6 banks × 16 patterns × 6 tracks) — with a maximum combined size of 64 MB (about
11 minutes) — in the RAM of every project. A sample that is used on several tracks does not take up addition-
al space in the RAM.
12.3 ASSIGNING A SAMPLE TO A TRACK
You can assign any of the samples in the +Drive to any of the audio tracks.
1. Press
[TRACK] + [T1–6] to select a track.
2. Press
[WAVE]
to open the SAMPLE ASSIGN menu.
3. Use the
LEVEL/DATA knob to navigate the folder structure to the sample you want to assign. Press
[BACK]
to navigate up one level in the folder hierarchy if needed. Press the [TRIG] key of the
active track while browsing to listen to the sample currently highlighted.
4. Press
LEVEL/DATA to select a sample. Press [BACK]
to exit the list without selecting a sample.
Once you have assigned the sample to a track, it can be triggered either by the sequencer or manually by
pressing a
[TRIG] or [T1–6] key.
You can also load multiple samples at the same time.
In the SAMPLE ASSIGN menu, highlight a folder and then press and hold LEVEL/DATA for a
second. A popup appears that reads “LOAD WHOLE DIR” Press “YES” to load multiple sam-
ples from that folder to Model:Samples tracks.
It checks all files in the directory for a suffix of 1-6 and loads the files matching this criteria
to the respective track. If no matching file is found for a track, it fills the blank tracks with
the first other not-yet-loaded samples in the folder. So if you have the samples BD01, SD03,
MYSAMPLE999, CHORDY and HIHAT6 in a directory, it would load T1=BD01, T2=CHORDY,
T3=SD03, T4=MYSAMPLE999 and T6=HIHAT6. T5 will be blank (if it did not previously con-
tain a sample).
Сэмплерный грувбокс Elektron Model: Samples с 6 дорожками имеет компактные размеры и скромный вес в 0,8 кг. Все дорожки оснащены резонансным многорежимным фильтром, назначаемым LFO и 64-шаговым секвенсором. Движок устройства использует сэмплы, а в памяти устройства уже заложено 300 пресетов от Splice, включая звуки бочки, снейра, хай-хэтов и экспериментальные звуки.
В девайсе имеется довольно много места (1 ГБ внутренней памяти) для собственных звуков, которые можно добавить через порт USB. А большие возможности звукового движка позволят креативно использовать каждый сэмпл.
Удобный интерфейс позволяет полностью контролировать звуки, имеется 6 чувствительных к скорости нажатия пэдов. Возможно сохранить до 96 проектов с 96 паттернами. Многофункциональный секвенсор с большими возможностями позволяет записывать все изменения параметров.
Разъемы MIDI позволяют подключать как внешние устройства с Model: Samples, так и наоборот.

Page 24: The Sequencer
9. THE SEQUENCER 9.1 ABOUT PATTERNS The sequencer of the Model:Cycles stores information in patterns. The patterns are the primary data con- tainer for the Model:Cycles. A pattern controls the playback of the six tracks and various pattern-specific aspects of the tracks and contains up to six presets (one for each track). Each of the six banks, A to F, contains 16 patterns, which means 96 patterns are available for each project.

Page 25: Pattern Tempo
“4.4 SETTING THE TEMPO” on page 13. 9.3 EDITING A PATTERN Model:Cycles offers two main modes of input when editing or creating a pattern, GRID RECORDING mode and LIVE RECORDING mode. In these modes, you can add two types of trigs: note trigs and lock trigs.

• A 2X SCL setting is useful for increasing the base resolution of the step sequencer to 32nd notes. A 3/4X setting is useful when Model:Cycles is playing alongside other instru- ments set to the same BPM, and you want Model:Cycles to play triplets.
-
Page 30: Preset Locks
This powerful feature makes it possible to use several presets on the same sequencer track. On Model:Cycles you can preset lock up to 64 different presets in each pattern. The locked presets are added to the LOCKS folder in the root of the PRESET menu. For more informa- tion, please see “8.5 THE LOCKS FOLDER”…

9. THE SEQUENCER NEI is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the neighbor track was true. (PRE and PRE conditions on the neighbor track are ignored and not evaluated.) The neighbor track is the track before the active track. For example, track 3 is the neighbor track of track 4. NEI and NEI conditional trigs on track 4 evaluate the conditional trigs placed on track 3.

9. THE SEQUENCER Individual sequencer tracks can be copied, pasted and cleared in the same way as patterns but GRID RECORDING mode must be active. Trigs, complete with all parameter lock settings, can be copied, pasted and cleared as well. GRID RE- CORDING mode needs to be active to access this functionality.

Controls how Model:Cycles receives and sends MIDI clock and transport commands. Use LEVEL/DATA to browse and change the settings. CLK IN will, when set to ON, make Model:Cycles respond to MIDI clock and MIDI transport messages sent from external devices.
-
Page 43: In Chan
AUTO IN selects the MIDI channel for the AUTO channel that gives access to the currently active track. If an external MIDI keyboard connected to Model:Cycles sends MIDI data on this channel, the keyboard controls the active track. This is useful when for example quickly changing between the active audio tracks to play different Sounds.
