cassetter

Cassetter is a MIDI controlled granular sampler. It was created as a companion application to the livecoding environment ORCΛ.

Powered by ToneJS, Svelte and Electron.

Installation

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start the app
npm run dev

or download

Usage

First you need to select the folder in which the required samples are stored in the wav format. Now you can select a sample for each channel.

The sampler receives MIDI CC signals. Knob 0 starts the sample, the rest set the parameter value.

Knob 0 has 4 values:

• o - Play a sample once;
• l - Play a sample loop;
• r - Play a sample once in reverse;
• q - Play a sample loop in reverse;

For example, a signal !40o will play a sample on channel 4 once.

Other values will stop playback.

Other knobs range from 0 to z.

Hotkey:

• Ctrl or Cmd + f - Select the sample folder
• Ctrl or Cmd + s - Save parameters
• Ctrl or Cmd + o - Open a parameter file
• Shift + ↑ or ↓ - Channel selection
• ↑ or ↓ - Selecting a parameter or a sample
• ← or → - Change a parameter

Issues and review are welcome!

Download link leads to 404 Page not found

The download link in the Readme leads to a page not found 404 error. Is there some place else where I can download Cassetter?

Thanks :)

No output sound?

Hi there, I'm trying both version 0.1.0 and 0.1.1 with my midi keyboard and some wav samples and im getting zero sound. Im not sure what the issue is....is this a bug you've encountered before?
Cheers

No sound when reopening a sample/parameter file

There is an issue when you first load a sample file along with its parameter file. In the menu, each channel is correctly assigned a wav file as stated in the parameter file and can be seen receiving a signal from ORCΛ, however no audible sound is emitted. Though this is quickly fixed after you remove the wav file from the channel and reassign it, this reassignment for all channels can take quite a while. Is there a way this can be fixed?
