"Elektron has built a cult-like following over the years with its unique and, at times, esoteric take on electronic musical instruments. On paper, Tonverk is a seemingly over-powered sampler that continues that tradition. It's the rare piece of hardware capable of creating multisampled instruments on its own. It turns a single sample track into a nesting doll of multiple samples. And it's loaded with an absolutely absurd amount of routing and audio processing features."
"Tonverk is certainly capable of making traditional electronic music, but it definitely caters to those with a more experimental bent. At its heart is an eight track polyphonic sampler, with three different "machines" to pick from: Single Player, Multi Player, and Subtracks. Single Player is a straightforward one-shot machine that plays back a single sample chromatically across the keyboard. Multi Player combines multiple samples of the same instrument for a more realistic recreation."
Tonverk is an eight-track polyphonic sampler that offers three playback machines: Single Player, Multi Player, and Subtracks. Single Player plays one-shot samples chromatically across the keyboard, while Multi Player layers multiple samples for realistic multisampling. Tonverk can automatically generate multisampled instruments by sending MIDI notes to the device, allowing a single sample track to become nested multiple samples. The unit includes extensive routing and audio processing features, supporting experimental sound design as well as traditional electronic music. The hardware marks the first entry in a new series built on a new platform, emphasizing Elektron's distinctive, sometimes esoteric approach to instrument design.
