Folders with color names
If you name the folder starting with a color name from the list on page 7, the folder will automatically
be loaded into the bank of that color! Example: “Orange - My Field Recordings” will be loaded into the
Orange bank. What if there’s already an Orange bank? It’ll get bumped to Orange-1 (that’s Orange
with one blink). And if Orange-1 exists, it’ll get bumped to Orange-2, etc…
Here are the valid color names:
White
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Cyan
Blue
Magenta
Lavender
Pearl
You can type the color names in ALL CAPS, all lower case, or with Initial Capital Letters. After the color
name you can write any ASCII characters. The
Sampler
does not support emojis or unicode ¯\_(

Automatic loading of new/moved files
When you put the microSD card back into the
Sampler
and power it back up, the
Sampler
will
recognize any new folders and will create a new bank for each one. The first 10 WAV files inside that
folder (alphabetically) will be loaded into the 10 slots of the bank. If there are more than 10 WAV files in
a folder, only 10 will be loaded. Remember, sub-folders are ignored, so only WAV files directly in the
folder will be scanned.
Also, missing files will be searched for and/or replaced by new files inside existing folders.
Sample List HTML file
After you’ve made changes to the
microSD card using a computer, the
next time you boot the
Sampler
with
that card, the module will create a file in
the root level of the microSD card called
__Sample List__.html
This is a handy quick reference for seeing what
files are in what banks and how long each sample
is. So if you are ever wondering which samples
are assigned to which slots in which banks, open
this up and it’ll tell you! You might even want to
email it to your phone, or print it out so you have it
nearby if you want to look something up.
_STS.system
folder
Inside the
_STS.system
folder is a file called
settings.txt
. This file contains some advanced
settings. You can change the settings using a text
editor. The syntax is simple and documented at
the top of the file.
See the
System Settings File
section on page 15.
If you are a serious hacker familiar with various
domain-specific languages, then you may wish to
open the sampler_index.dat file. This is a plain-text file containing the path to each of the WAV files
and which banks and slots they are assigned to.
It’s a good idea to backup the
_STS.system/
folder onto your computer before making
changes!
While no real damage can occur, the worst case is that all your banks have different colors.
Your actual sample files will never be changed.
