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.
