I've been more or less writing an essay about the M:S in various comments over the past few days, so I figured I would collect it all here for future reference and easy linking. This is intended to help inform someone who is considering purchasing the M:S and is evaluating if it will fit their needs. Hope someone finds this useful!
Is the Elektron Model:Samples a sampler? Can it play chords?
Technically it is not a sampler (because it has no audio in, so it can't do live sampling). It is a sample player, or some people like to call it a sample mangler. To load on samples you have to use a computer. It is monophonic per track, so you can't have polyphony in a single track.
I think it would be great and not to mention, a useful thread to create (possibly pinned) where some of the more experienced users can post useful info for newbies and others on how to create their own samples, where to find good samples, sampling tips, good sampling tutes on the interwebs, etc.
