Pack vs wave

A pack (Sample packs) chooses which numbered folder fills the eight sample voices. The sample browser here picks one .wav under samples/ for the current voice (channels 1–8), with trim, reverse, and load before the audio replaces what that voice plays.

Samples are mono 16-bit WAV at 44.1 kHz, up to 12 seconds per voice. Prepare the card once via Hardware → SD card setup.

Sample browser

Open from the menu (WAVE) for sample voices 1–8, or with a both-touch left-first gesture from draw / single / menu when the current channel is a sample voice. The screen shows four large hint glyphs on row 1 — P (magenta) preview, Y trim end, G load, W browser — plus a waveform display.

Browsing

Encoder 4 turns through a single combined list: parent link [../], subfolders, then .wav files in the current directory under samples/. The matrix changes display per row type:

• On a .wav: peak / waveform view between the trim start and trim end.
• On a directory or [../]: breadcrumb path on row 6 (green dot for root, yellow chevrons, then one letter per folder segment).

Folder navigation

Encoder 4 short behaves contextually:

• On [../] or a folder → enter that folder.
• On a file → go up one directory (deliberate no-op at the samples root, so you can't accidentally exit).

Trim window

Trim is expressed as 0–100% of the file's decoded length.

• Encoder 1 turn — moves the trim start. Stops just before the trim end.
• Encoder 2 turn — moves the trim end. Stops just after the trim start.
• Row 3 of the matrix shows a dim blue baseline; columns left of the trim start tint green (pre-roll), columns right of the trim end tint red (post-roll). The lit window in between is your active slice.

Preview & reverse

• Encoder 1 short or long → forces a manual preview from RAM regardless of auto-preview state.
• Encoder 2 short — reverses the highlighted sample. The waveform on screen flips end-for-end and the preview re-triggers from the start so you can hear the reversed take. Hit it again to flip back.
• Auto-preview policy is set under SETTINGS → PREV: ON auditions every selection automatically, PRSS waits for an explicit gesture.

Loading

A short press on encoder 3 loads the highlighted file into the voice and immediately autosaves the pattern: the current trim window plus reverse state become the voice's permanent sample until you load another one. Encoder 3 turn is intentionally unused in the sample browser.

To capture a fresh take instead of loading a file, hold touch 3 — that opens Record.
