Create a bank by copying a folder of WAV files
To create a new bank with your own samples, simply drag/copy a folder containing WAV files onto the
root level of the STS microSD card. The WAV files must be directly inside the folder. Folders inside
folders (sub-folders) will be ignored by the STS
You can copy as many as folders full of WAV files as you like: only 60 banks can be loaded at once,
but the other folders will still be accessible from the STS using the

feature.
You also could copy sample(s) to an existing folder. If the other samples in that folder are in a bank
with less than 10 samples in it, the new file(s) will automatically be loaded into that bank.
If you remove a file from a folder, then the STS won’t be able to find that file and will look for it. If it
finds the file in another folder, it’ll update the index to the new location. But if the STS can’t find the file
anywhere, then it’ll try to find a new file to fill that slot. The first place it will look is the original file’s
folder. What this means is that if you don’t like a particular sample, you can delete the file and replace
it with a new file. The STS won’t find the deleted file, and it will load the new file instead.

Above: copying a folder of 10 WAV files onto the STS microSD card. The folder starts with the word “Green” so
it will get loaded into the Green bank. The files will be loaded in alphabetical order into slots 1 – 10.
