Adjustable Fade Time (Smoother Looping)

The Sampler performs a fade at the beginning and end of a sample, and a crossfade when looping.

This essentially adds an envelope to the playback. There are two types of envelopes:

•

Fade in/out envelopes: this is a very short envelope applied to the beginning and end of

playback when Length is over 50%. It reduces clicks when starting, stopping, or looping,

especially when starting or ending in the middle of a sample file.

•

Percussive envelopes: this is the decay envelope applied to playback when Length is less

than 50% (if Reverse is on, it's an attack envelope). This envelope gives the playback a

"percussive" sound.

Length

While the maximum Fade Time you can set by holding down Reverse and turning Length is 39ms,

you can actually set Fade Time to be longer than this by editing the settings.txt file and entering a

value up to 255 (corresponding to 255ms). See the System Settings File section below.

Percussive envelope time is set by the Length knob and CV, not by Fade Time. However, percussive

envelopes will be turned off whenever Fade Time is 0.

Keep in mind that when Fade Time is set to 0, playback may click and pop. This is not normally a

desired setting. However, turning off envelopes is often preferred when doing "Granular" patches (see

page 12), or when playing CV sample files (.wav files with clocks/gates, sequencer CV, or slow LFOs,

etc).

System Settings File

On the SD Card there is a file called settings.txt, which lives in the _STS.system folder. If you are

familiar with editing settings files and wish to change how your Sampler operates, you may edit this

file with a plain text editor. The file is meant to compatible with the 4ms Stereo Triggered Sampler, so

not all options are available for the Sampler (for instance, nothing regarding channel 2 is meaningful

on the Sampler).

After editing the file, save it as plain text. If you try to save it as RTF or as a docx or anything that

contains formatting, HTML, markup, or anything other than ASCII characters, the Sampler will not

load the file and will restore default settings.

[STEREO MODE]

Possible values: stereo, mono

Default value: stereo

Selects Stereo or Mono Mode on startup. See Stereo/Mono Mode section, page 8

[RECORD SAMPLE BITS]

Possible values: 16, 24

Default value: 16

Sets the bit depth for recording.

[RECORD SAMPLE RATE]

Not used on the Sampler (future firmware version will support it)

You can adjust the amount of Fade Time for the fade in/out envelopes by

holding down Reverse while turning the Length knob. If you turn Length all

the way down, Fade Time will be 0 and envelopes will be disabled. The Fade

Time will increase as you turn the knob up, until it reaches 39ms when the

knob is fully clockwise.

No changes to Fade Time will be saved after you power down unless you

perform a Save by holding down all three buttons for five seconds (See Saving

New Samples into slots, page 9).
