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.

• Ctrl or Cmd + f - Select the sample folder
• Ctrl or Cmd + s - Save parameters
• Ctrl or Cmd + o - Open a parameter file
