only legitimate purpose for this mode is to match colors between two different modules or to make
minor adjustments in relative brightness between buttons on the same module.
Rebuilding the Index File
The Sampler keeps track of the name of the sample file assigned to each bank/slot in a file called
sample_index.dat (aka "the index file"), located in the _Sampler.system folder. If you wish to revert the
Sampler to the factory organization, there is a factory original file located in a folder within the system
folder, follow the instructions in the "How To" text file in that folder.
If you wish to clear all file organization, you can simply delete the index file (back it up first, please!).
Updating Firmware (Audio Bootloader)
You can update the Sampler firmware by playing a special audio file into the Record jack. When new
firmware versions are released, the firmware audio files can be downloaded at
https://4mscompany.com/sampler
1. To enter bootloader mode, power off the Sampler and connect a computer or smart phone
audio output to the Left Record jack. Either a stereo or mono cable is fine. Connect the Out
Right jack to an amp/speakers so you can listen.
2. Set the computer/phone's volume to 50%. You may need to adjust it up or down if this is too
loud or quiet (see step 6). Unlike other 4ms modules, the Sampler's bootloader is designed to
work with consumer line-level signal (a peak-to-peak voltage of a little under 1V is ideal, or
-10dbV). Turn off all audio notifications that might interrupt playback.
3. Depress the Bank and Reverse buttons while powering on the Sampler. When you see either
button blink, release the buttons.
4. If the Reverse and Play buttons are blinking red, press the Play button. Play will start blinking
slowly (twice per second) to indicate the module is now ready to receive firmware.
5. Begin playing the file. Immediately you should see Bank turn on and Play and Reverse start
flashing blue, white, cyan, and/or purple. Do not interrupt the process!
6. The color of the Bank button tells you if the audio is too loud or quiet. Green is the ideal
volume. Cyan, blue, or off indicates the audio is too quiet. Yellow or red indicates it's too loud.
7. If there's an error, Play and Reverse will blink red rapidly. The Bank button will continue to
indicate the audio level, so this is a good time to verify the level is ideal and adjust the output
level as needed. Verify the cable is not loose, all sounds/vibrate/notifications are off, and that
you have downloaded the audio file completely (avoid streaming or playing from the browser).
Stop the audio file, reset it back to the start, and tap the Play button to reset. The Inf. Hold
button should blink slowly. Play the file from the beginning again.
8. If the file loads successfully, Play and Reverse will blink in a rainbow pattern. Press Play start.

What version is my Sampler?
To view the firmware version, power on the Sampler with an SD Card installed. When startup is
complete (all lights stop blinking), remove the SD Card and insert it into a computer. Open the file
named "__Sample List__.html". The firmware version is written at the top of the file.
