Polyphonic multisampler & audio processor

This is a machine primed for adventure: an instrument to propel you towards extraordinary music-making and boundless sound exploration. Tonverk is both a revelatory pathfinder and wondrous labyrinth to immerse yourself in, offering diverse solutions to capture, process, route, and reveal your sound. Stay a while. Stay forever.

Sonic pathfinder

Tonverk has eight audio tracks that can be utilized in different ways depending on where you want to take your sounds. There are a further eight tracks for buses, sends, and mix – all primed for relentless routing, putting a wealth of fresh FX flavors in your hands for use across the box. All 16 tracks have their own sequencer.

Tonverk heralds the arrival of another Elektron platform, the first device and certainly not the last. It joins our family of platforms, each offering hugely exciting opportunities that we can’t wait to explore and bring to life. You’re invited to enter a gateway to fantastic fun and experimentation. And, like all adventures, the beginning offers only a glimpse of what’s to come.

Meet The Machines

Three machines form the initial basis of Tonverk’s sound creation, plus another for MIDI.

Single Player is a Tonverk take on a polyphonic one-shot machine. Load, record, or drag and drop your stereo sample from your device, and play it back polyphonically. Find your start point, find your end, set your loop point, and smooth it out like butter with the crossfade parameter for seamless looping. Let a single tone run on into polyphoninfinity.
Multi Player lets you load a multisampled instrument. Various samples are spread out over the keyboard, full of melodic potential, and ready for your fingertips. The machine comes with several multisampled instruments covering plenty of flavors, and with the Auto Sampler you can of course create your own magic.
Subtracks offers you the chance to load a sample on every lower row key on Tonverk’s keyboard. This means one track is essentially eight Subtracks, each able to play their samples simultaneously. And every Subtrack has its own two filters, an amp envelope, and modulation. Load a curated set of samples or pick and choose what sound lives where. Why not have eight drum machines in your drum machine? The choice is yours.

Super sampling

There are two ways to sample with Tonverk. Recorder allows for straightforward audio sampling, externally or internally, in a way familiar to those who have used Elektron samplers before. Tonverk’s Auto Sampler adds another layer of interest. Connect your MIDI gear and record whatever sound you like. Maybe it’s your favorite monophonic patch from elsewhere, magically made polyphonic, giving it a new lease of life. Decide how many notes and velocity layers you want to collect, start the recording, and let the machine do the work. You can even connect via USB, and sample from whatever app you have at your disposal.

Routing adventures

Tonverk’s routing capabilities are huge. There are lots of places to begin your journey and countless directions you can head off in. Let one sound have its own unique adventure or bring tracks together for combined treatment. All of Tonverk’s tracks have their own routing. Its extensive, flexible routing setup allows you to direct sound from multiple sources to various destinations. You can also send audio out of Tonverk, process it externally, and bring it right back in. On the back of your machine you have four outputs and two inputs, and a headphone out that is also a routing option. Plus: MIDI In, Out, and Thru; two USB-C slots; and an SD card.

Mass FX

Tonverk is an effects beast, giving you different options when it comes to what, where, and how you use the scores of effects on offer. There are plenty of newcomers to work with as well: Rumsklang Reverb, Daisy Delay, Dirtshaper, Degrader, Chrono Pitch, Frequency Warper, Infinite Flanger, Phase 98, Filterbank, and Comb +/- are all eager to be explored, and are joined by some Elektron classics, and a bunch more filters.
