How Does It Work?#

Sampler plays an imported audio file with explicit trigger and gate behavior, start/end windowing, optional looping, fades, pitch control, and an end-of-cycle trigger output.

Quick Overview#

• Click the waveform area to load a sample.
• Trig starts playback on a rising edge.
• Gate can also start playback on a rising edge and stops playback on the falling edge.
• Playback can run FWD or REV, retrigger or ignore repeated triggers, and optionally sum to mono.
• Region, loop, and fade controls all work inside the loaded sample window.

Inputs And Outputs#

Port	Type	What It Does
Trig	Trigger	Rising edge starts or retriggers playback according to Trig Mode.
Gate	Gate	Gate high sustains playback; falling edge stops playback.
V/Oct	CV	Applies 1V/oct pitch control, with 0V = C4.
Vel	CV	Scales playback amplitude.
Start	CV	Offsets the region start by up to +/-20% of the sample range.
End	CV	Offsets the region end by up to +/-20% of the sample range.
L	Audio	Left audio output.
R	Audio	Right audio output.
EOC	Trigger	Emits an end-of-cycle pulse when one-shot playback reaches the region end.

Controls Reference#

Main Section#

Control	Values	Default	Behavior
Pitch	-24..24 st	0	Transposes playback pitch.
Level	0..1	1	Sets output level before the jacks.
Mode	FWD, REV	FWD	Plays the region forward or in reverse.
Trig Mode	RTR, IGN	RTR	RTR always restarts on a new trigger. IGN only starts if playback is currently stopped.
Mono	Off, On	Off	Sums the stereo signal to mono after playback.

Region Section#

Control	Range	Default	Behavior
Start	0..1	0	Sets the beginning of the playback region.
End	0..1	1	Sets the end of the playback region.
Fade In	0..500 ms	0 ms	Fades the start of the current region.
Fade Out	0..500 ms	0 ms	Fades the end of the current region.

Loop Section#

Control	Range	Default	Behavior
Loop	Off, On	Off	Enables looping inside the current region.
Loop Start	0..1	0	Sets the loop start point.
Loop End	0..1	1	Sets the loop end point.

Playback Behavior#

• In FWD, playback starts from the region start.
• In REV, playback starts from the region end and moves backward.
• When looping is off, playback stops at the region boundary and emits EOC.
• When looping is on, playback wraps between Loop Start and Loop End.
• Loop points are constrained to stay inside the current Start and End region.

Waveform Display#

• The waveform preview shows the loaded sample.
• Green markers show the active playback region.
• Red markers show the loop region when looping is enabled.
• Fade-in and fade-out slopes are drawn directly on the waveform preview.

Patching Ideas#

• Use Trig for one-shots and Gate for held notes.
• Modulate Start and End for sliced or granular-style playback windows.
• Enable Mono when you want a centered signal, or keep stereo for wider source material.
