Tap the PLAY button to play the currently selected sample in the currently selected
bank. Tap it multiple times to re-trigger the sample.
Try it now! Set the channel controls as shown:
Play
• Pitch knob to center
• Start Pos to 0%
• Length to 100%
• Patch the OUT Left and OUT Right jacks to the left and right channels of your output
mixer. (If you only have a mono speaker, just use OUT Left).

You also can select a sample using the Sample CV jack. It accepts voltage from 0V to
+5V, so a new sample is selected every 0.5V.
Sample
The Bank button changes banks. Tap the button to go to the next bank and notice that
the Bank button's color changes. Each bank contains 10 samples. Go ahead and listen
to all the samples in this bank using the Sample knob to select a sample and the PLAY
Bank
button to play it. Take a moment to explore a few banks, tapping the Bank button to go
to the next bank (you can go back a bank by holding Reverse while tapping Bank). For
the next step, we're going to want a sample that will loop nicely, so pick a sample that's
at least a couple seconds long.
Bank
You also can select a bank using the Bank CV jack. It accepts voltage from 0V to 5V,
and there are 60 banks, so a new bank is selected every 1/12th of a volt. That means
you can select banks by playing a CV keyboard or sequencer into this jack: each
semitone (note) from C0 to B5 will be a different bank.
Looping
The Sampler is also great for looping

couple seconds long. Press and hold the
PLAY button for half a second and the
button will turn blue to indicate it's looping
(blue = loop). You can let go of the PLAY
Play
button and it'll keep repeating the sample
over and over. If at any time you want to stop looping, hold PLAY down again for about a
second and it'll turn green or yellow to indicate the channel is playing but not looping.
Now let's play with Pitch. Turn this knob up to make the sample play back faster and at
a higher pitch. Turn it down to play back slower and lower in pitch. The Pitch knob has a
range of 8 octaves (4 octaves up, 4 octaves down).
Pitch
The Pitch CV jack accepts voltages from -5V to +5V, which is a 10 octave range. The
jack is calibrated to 1V/oct, but we recommend calibrating to your own equipment (see
CV Calibration, page 14).
The total amount of pitch shifting when considering the jack and knob is limited to 9

octaves down and 4 octaves up.
