ページを印刷するVariable Trigger Delay / Latency
You can enable a Trigger Delay for the Play Trig jack. This adds a 1–20ms delay after a trigger is
received on the Play Trig jack. This feature is useful to compensate for slew/lag when using a CV
sequencer with the Sample CV and/or Pitch CV jacks. The Sampler will read the voltages on the
Sample CV and Pitch CV jacks after the Trigger Delay period, and then it will start playback. Adding
this extra delay allows for the voltage to "settle".
To set the Trigger Delay, edit the settings.txt file and change the number in this section:
[TRIG DELAY]
8
If you wish to have the least amount of latency, set this to "1". If
you wish to have the maximum amount of compatibility with all
sequencers, set this to "8" or above. The default value is "8".
A bit of technical explanation regarding latency: Each sample slot
has its own ultra-fast RAM cache that's about 3 seconds. Once the samples in the bank have been
loaded into the cache, you can trigger any of the 10 samples in a bank with very low latency. The only
limitation is that only the first 3 seconds of a sample file are loaded into the cache (the 3 seconds start
at the Start Pos position). The process of loading into the cache typically adds 5ms to the latency, on
the very first time a sample is played after changing banks. After the sample has been played once,
the latency will be 0.7ms for all future times.
Color Adjustment Mode
You can fine-tune the colors of the buttons and save the adjustment values in non-volatile memory.
Normally this is done at the factory, but you may wish to make adjustments if you have multiple
Sampler modules and want the Bank button colors to match exactly between modules.
1. Power off. Make sure a valid SD Card is inserted.
2. Hold down the Play and Reverse buttons and power on.
3. When the Play button starts flashing, release the buttons.
4. Press Play repeatedly until each of the three buttons has turned red, green, and then blue. Then,
press Play three more times as each button turns white. In total, you will have pressed Play 13
times.
5. At this point, Play will be solid green (not flashing). Press and hold it for five seconds to enter Color
Adjustment Mode. The button will turn off and then after five seconds it will turn back on. Release
the button.
6. Turn the Sample knob all the way down.
7. Tap the Bank button. This selects it to be calibrated.
8. Turn the Pitch, Start Pos, and Length knobs to adjust the red, green, and blue amounts,
respectively. When a knob is centered, no adjustment is made. Turning it to the right of center
increases that relative amount of that hue. Turning it to the left of center decreases the relative
amount of that hue.
9. Adjust the knobs until the color looks good.
10. Turn the Sample knob to each position 1 - 10 to cycle through all 10 bank colors. Verify the Bank
button's bank colors look good. If not, adjust the Pitch, Start Pos, and Length knobs.
11. When you're happy with the colors, you can optionally tap Play and/or Reverse to calibrate their
colors. Note that only the green and blue can be calibrated for these two buttons.
12. To save changes, hold down Play for four seconds until it turns green. On the other hand, if you
wish to cancel, hold down Reverse for four seconds.
13. Power off.
Note: The colors of the buttons will not match each other, and this is normal and to be expected. Do
not try to adjust the colors of a button to match another button on the same Sampler module. The
