The Tonverk polyphonic multisampler and audio processor from Elektron is more than just a sampler—it's an open invitation to sonic adventure. With its robust toolkit, Tonverk is designed to propel you beyond traditional boundaries and into uncharted creative territory. Whether you're crafting lush polyphonic textures, mangling samples or exploring new routing paradigms, this is your platform. It’s an instrument as much for pathfinding as it is for play—flexible, exploratory and ever-inviting.

Multiple Identities, one Powerful Machine

Tonverk’s strength lies in its versatility. Use it as a polyphonic sampler to trigger single or multi-sampled instruments. Dive into sound design with the FX blender and apply modulation-rich effects across your setup. Take full advantage of the routing playground, where you can patch sounds internally or externally with freedom. Add in the subtrack engine—a unique mode that nests eight monophonic tracks within a single track—and you've got a powerhouse capable of everything from layered textures to rhythmic chaos.

16 Tracks, Infinite Potential

Tonverk features 16 total tracks, 12 of which can be MIDI-enabled, offering maximum flexibility. The eight audio tracks are loaded with their own sequencers and machine types, while four bus tracks, three send tracks and one master mix track form a modular mixing environment for rerouting, processing and blending. Whether you want to resample internally, route external signals or apply custom FX chains to multiple layers, Tonverk puts an experimental studio’s worth of power in a compact, hardware format.

Machines That Unlock Creative Depth

Each audio track on the Tonverk can be assigned its own powerful machine type, allowing users to tailor their workflow and sonic approach. The Single Player machine enables you to play mono or stereo WAV files polyphonically with detailed control over playback behavior, including looping and crossfade smoothing for seamless transitions. The Multi Player machine gives access to multi-sampled instruments from Tonverk’s internal library, or you can create your own by using the Auto Sampler to map external instruments across the keyboard. For advanced layering or performance setups, the Subtracks machine turns a single audio track into eight fully independent monophonic subtracks, each with its own sample, sequencer and parameters—essentially eight tracks in one. And when external sequencing is needed, you can switch any track to MIDI mode, giving you deep control over outboard synths and gear with full sequencing capability.

A Canvas of Effects and Modulation

Tonverk introduces a massive library of onboard FX, many of which are brand new to the Elektron ecosystem. Apply them across tracks, buses or even to the sends for wild results. Layer that with an extensive modulation matrix—including LFOs, envelopes and conditional triggers—and you've got endless sound-sculpting possibilities. Whether you want subtle coloring or aggressive transformations, Tonverk delivers the tools.

Made for the Modern Workflow

Tonverk integrates classic Elektron workflows with next-generation enhancements. Whether you're sampling straight from hardware, bouncing entire loops internally or crafting complex modulation schemes, everything feels intuitive and immediate. The included Auto Sampler turns your favorite synths into playable multisample instruments in minutes, while routing flexibility ensures it plays nice in any studio or live rig. This is a machine built for both spontaneous creativity and deep planning—a true sound designer’s dream.
