Our Impressions
Model:Samples has a lot of real-time control over samples, creating a more of a synth like experience. This makes it ideal for live performance. Model:Samples has a retro,sonic-character and tone which we also liked. The image below (live from NAMM) is of a version with funky stickers, etc...ready to personalize!
